The rice cooker makes rice the centerpiece of the table.
We wanted to make cooking rice more enjoyable and comforting. That’s why we designed a clay ceramic rice cooker that you’ll love to use every day.
Its soft and nuanced tones and naturally warm texture embody the essence of clay ceramic.
The rice cooker enhances and maximizes the flavor of rice.
The subtle sweetness of rice is revealed when amylase breaks down starch into sugar. This enzymatic reaction is most active at temperatures between 40 and 60 °C. Unlike metal or electric rice cookers, clay cookers have lower thermal conductivity, allowing them to pass through this critical temperature range slowly, resulting in sweeter and deliciously cooked rice.
Simplicity means no more hassle
The unique low-absorption glaze eliminates the need to season the cooker before first use. Water level marks for 1 and 2 cups of white rice make measuring water unnecessary. Simply cook over medium heat and turn off the heat when bubbles appear at the edge of the lid: no stress over heat control. The seal is achieved through precise 0.1 mm adjustments and artisan craftsmanship, making an inner lid unnecessary.
Designed to fit modern lifestyles
Its round, compact shape fits perfectly into modern life. Once cooking is done, it can also serve as a container for the rice. PETARI’s moderate moisture absorption helps preserve the rice’s flavor. Any leftover rice can be stored in the refrigerator or reheated directly in the microwave in the cooker.
About our glaze
Our artisans hand-apply our original glazes to each cooker.
As a result, slight color irregularities may appear due to differences in glaze thickness. This does not affect use.
Enjoy the warmth of handmade cookers.Compatible heat sources: direct flame, conventional oven, microwave oven and radiant electric cooktop (not recommended for cooking rice, as it is not powerful enough). Induction cooktops are not among the compatible heat sources.

In Yokkaichi, a cooker born for rice
PETARI shapes its rice cookers in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, the birthplace of Banko ceramics. The original intention was simple: to make cooking rice more enjoyable and comforting, with a clay ceramic object that you love to use every day. In the clay, heat accumulates and is released slowly. Between 40 and 60 °C, amylase breaks down starch into sugar: this is where the sweetness of the rice is revealed. Metal and electric cookers do not work this way. The rice then becomes the centerpiece of the table.
PETARI EXPERTISE
What makes this rice cooker unique
The warmth of clay
Clay ceramic absorbs heat and releases it slowly. The cooking remains gentle from start to finish.
Between 40 and 60 °C
This is the range where the enzymatic reaction is most active. Amylase breaks down starch into sugar, and the subtle sweetness of the rice emerges.
Designed for rice
This cooker does only that, and it does it well. It places the rice in the center of the table.
Neither metal nor electric
A clay cooker does not behave like a metal or electric model. Heat circulates differently in it.
Two cups, every day
One size, two cups of rice. A quantity designed for daily use.
Yokkaichi, Mie
The region has been shaping Banko ceramics for generations. PETARI fits in with soft and nuanced tones, a naturally warm texture, and mineral shades such as Igneous Rock and Jet Black.
