I think this sort of condescending attitude is what makes products hard to use. I did in fact look all of this up, but that doesn't make the rice maker easy to use.

This is the most accurate explanation about current Japanese design I've ever seen.

you are now moving the goalposts. Understanding how to cook rice is a very different thing from a sony TV remote being complicated. Meanwhile, a sony playstation joystick is among the easiest designs to use.
I disagree that my reply was condescending.

>Rice washing is a fairly common practice in cultures that cook rice.
In the US at least, many brands spray additional vitamins and minerals to increase the nutritional value of rice, and specifically state not to wash the rice right on the packaging.
Because of this, there seems to be a pretty wide split on cultural lines on whether one should wash their rice, especially online.
Rice washing is a fairly common practice in cultures that cook rice. You are likely from a culture where rice is not common so the solution is to look it up. My ten year old zojirushi rice cooker came with instructions telling you how to wash rice.
A "cup" is a horrible measure of volume because there are so many definitions. This is clearly not zojirushi's fault.
If you don't know what GABA rice is, may i suggest you look it up? Seriously, if you do not understand what something is, look it up instead of dismissing it as "unfriendly to a westerner".
