"The Minnesota Six-Pack"

Well, unless you want to look like the guy on the sign, I guess!

I wish it were washable, but it's been in an abandoned house for a few years at this point hahaha. Seems handy and easy to use! Maybe I'll get a more portable one down the line.

Got it in one! You pour rice into the top and press the button for however many portions you want to make, measured in 100g "units"!

Big hint!

I felt the same way! Took a business trip to Tokyo from Sendai and felt like I was on a different planet lol.

There's a few of these up in Tohoku where I live, they're incredibly charming. A few old-fashioned Steam Locomotives, too, on the weekends!

Agreed! Also, even if it were the same quality, food always tastes better in the mountains, I think! ⛰️
