Huge differences between $100 vs $300 (in Japan market) is IH heater and pressure feature, not just controlling.

$200 supports IH heater for efficient heating (Efficiency is important because japanese outlet is max 1500W). $300 supports IH and pressuring.

What are the differences? I have an old Zojirushi without those features and haven’t really been sure what an upgrade could improve.

IH = high power and uniform heating, pressuring = makes rices softer and viscous, but still remains somewhat tough.

Generally high power is considered to important for Japanese people to make delicious rice, I highly recommend it if it's affordable.

Pressuring is a bit controversial because some people not like softer rice, so some maker (Mitsubishi) still make high-end rice cooker without pressuring.
