About the Taste Survey
The survey was conducted on Friday, October 11, 2024 at Suzumo Machinery Co., Ltd. Tokyo Office Showroom under the supervision of the Taste Professor. The survey setting was a self-service buffet. Freshly-cooked rice, the 30th bowl of rice one hour after putting the rice into the Fuwarica GST-RRA, and the 30th bowl of rice one hour after putting the rice into a general Commercial Rice Cooker/Jars were served, and a taste analysis was performed for each. The tastes were then compared.

- “Commercial Rice Cooker” Sweetness: 2.38 Savoriness: 1.97
- The taste analysis chart showed that more than 95% of people could recognize the significant difference of the sweetness and savoriness of rice: “Freshly-cooked Rice” and “Rice-Serving Machine Fuwarica” surpassed ” Commercial Rice Cooker” by far.
- AI Taste Sensor “Leo” rated the freshly-cooked rice’s sweetness and savoriness as higher than the average, which was 2.5 and 2.1 respectively.
The rice that had been left in Fuwarica for one hour was significantly sweeter and more savory than the rice that had been left in the Commercial Rice Cooker for one hour. The numerical results showed that it was possible to provide a delicious taste that Fuwarica was able to provide a delicious taste that was just as good as freshly-cooked rice.
