The first step to cooking perfect rice is to choose the right type of rice. Short-grain rice works best in a Hagama Hinoki rice cooker. It's a versatile, glutinous rice that absorbs the flavors of the dish it's served with. You can find high-quality Japanese rice from trusted brands such as Tamanishiki or Nishiki, traditional Japanese rice cooker.


Once you have your rice, rinse it thoroughly to remove excess starch. This will prevent your rice from becoming too sticky and clumping together, and help it to cook evenly. 


Next, measure your rice and water accurately, making sure to use a 1:1.25 ratio. Add the water to the clay pot of the Hagama rice cooker, then add the rice on top of the water. The authentic traditional Hinoki wood heating system will make the difference.
The Hinoki natural wood, highly aromatic, is an essential component of the Hagama rice cooker, as it helps to infuse the rice with a unique, woody flavor. 


Finally, use a wooden spoon or spatula to fluff the flavorful rice, making sure to incorporate the bottom layer into the top layer. This will help to distribute the woody flavor evenly throughout the rice, and create a light and fluffy texture that's irresistible.


In conclusion, investing in high-quality kitchenware is essential for achieving the perfect cooking result. The Hagama rice cooker is a unique and authentic piece of Japanese cooking tool made of Hinoki that can help you master the art of cooking perfect rice every time.
