The Story about Zojirushi: Zojirushi (pronounced ‘zoh-jee-ROO-shee’) began in Japan in 1918 as a manufacturer of hand-blown vacuum bottles. Today, Zojirushi’s product line extends to high-end small appliances such as rice cookers, breadmakers and coffee makers, high quality vacuum insulated products like vacuum bottles, lunch jars and carafes, and products that make the home a more comfortable place to live, including air purifiers and humidifiers. Recently, Zojirushi has enhanced the focus on design and how appliances fit into everyday lives with the introduction of their ZUTTO Collection and RIZO. The name Zojirushi means “Elephant brand” in Japanese.
