TIGER Mochi-making machines SMG-A360-WL

So far so good. We have used it to make some mochi or ncuav as we call it in my language. This was a lot bigger than my mom and I expected which was good. The mochi (ncuav) came out really well and it was pretty quick. Will update this review after a few uses.

IT doesn't have an English instruction but Japanese so don't know how to sue it.

Very nice

Cant read the instruction so i use google translate and everything turn out excellent on the first try woohoo my wife is so happy for her Gift and also didnt really need to use an electric converter it work perfectly

I’m looking for a Mochi machine - my mother uses this one. For the gentleman, Jonathan who reviewed this Tiger brand Mochi machine, he asked if he was doing it right - it’s not recommended to use general purpose short/medium grain rice (meant for day to day meals) for Mochi. Your results will greatly improve if you find Mochi (sweet) rice which is a different rice grain (you might need to go to or order from a Japanese specialty store). Once you use Mochi rice I think your results will be greatly improved. Good luck.

A good machine and Tiger brand is the best mochi making machine out there. But beware that it's a Japanese product and takes 100 volts and can't plug it into USA electrical outlet. Luckily my mom had a down transformer that she uses for a Japanese fish baking machine. But this down transformer thing is little over $300. My mom had her previous Tiger mocha maker for over 30 years and it finally broke and the transformer is that old too. So they are quality products!

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, however, the rice never seems to cook properly before the kneading starts. I not sure if I am using the wrong rice either. I use a Calrose rice, e.g., Botan, Nishiki, &c. which are short to medium grain, good for sushi. Outside of that, if you can get the rice cooked properly, then it works wonderfully.

My device arrived today just in time for mother’s day and put it to use, work perfectly. The wife loves it. Money well spent.

簡単でとても使いやすいです。

使いやすく 今のところ故障していない

長年この機種を使用しています。 他のメーカーの餅つき機はつき上がりでブザーが鳴るものもあるが、タイガーのこの機種はブザーが鳴るのは蒸し上がりだけなので重宝している。つき具合は自分で判断したいので、この仕様がベスト。つきあがりブザー機能なんてつけるのは絶対にやめてほしい。他の餅つき機を探さなければならなくなる。 それと蒸し上がりブザーがうるさいのは、ボイラー部分が加熱しっぱしになるのを防ぐためなので必要な音量だと思います。事故を防ぐためには、一刻も早く蒸しボタンを切る必要がある。 機械の個体差なのかブザー音量が小さいものが届く時もたまにあって、むしろその時の方が「音が小さくて困るなあ」と思う。 他のメーカーの餅つき機はパワーが強すぎて長くつくとデロンデロンになるが、この餅つき機は比較的ゆっくりつくのでそういうことも起こりにくい。すっかり忘れて30〜40分くらいついていたこともあるが、若干冷えて硬めでめちゃくちゃきめの細かい餅になるだけです。 とにかく、余計なことを考えずにこのままの仕様で生産を続けてほしい。

片付け簡単で餅つき楽になった。もち米入れたあとに水入れると下の水入れが焦げますので使用方法ハ必ず守ったほうがいいです。 水が少ないとキレイにつけないので何度か続けて使用する場合は必ず水の量をみてください 使用方法を守れば美味しくふっくらしたお餅ができますよ。

壊れたために安いのを探して手頃のを見つけましたいいと思います。
