Is this product actually made in Japan? Or just using some Japanese components perhaps?

I know the company its being imported from which is Century in Tokyo. The home company web site is http://www.century.co.jp/ and the have an English language version if you click that link on the home page. The reason I know is that the sales rep working with the USA company importing it is an old friend and told me about it. As to whether they make in in Japan, I don't know for certain but I bought a unit myself and was impressed with the quality. It seemed like what I would expect from a Japanese electronics product.

The package says "Made in Japan". Made could mean assembled or manufactured, it does not always mean that it is assembled in Japan from all Japanese components by Japanese workers.

Mr. Hong, this is not really an answer but I think I know why you are asking if this device is Japanese made. Because they used to make the best. My late wife was Japanese and we originally bought our rice cooker in a Japanese store in Cambridge, Ma. It lasted us over thirty years, it never failed to work perfectly and was lost in a house fire. The replacement started buring rice after one year, it was made in China. So, like you, I am searching for a new unit that is made in Japan. Best of Luck.

I believe it is. It took a long time to arrive to my location and it said made in Japan.

I just double checked and this is stamped "made in Japan" on the actual grinder itself. I think it is safe to say this model is still from Japan. I bought this as a father's day gift for my husband so my model is just a couple months old. Hope that helps!

Yes, this product is made in Japan. It does have English directions and measurements on it. It is a great little product, I use it everyday.

It's a Japanese company, but mine says made in China. I have been using it every day for 12 years and it still works fine.

I bought mine last April. It's made in China. That said the build quality looks as good as Japanese and it's worked fine thus far.

Says Japan on the bottom. Of course, one can't say where components such as sensor or circuits boards are manufactured these days. Build quality is very good.

Mine is clearly marked "made in China" but it seems to be very reliable, is built very solidly and works pretty much as expected. Almost every consumer electronic product retailing at under $1000 of Japanese design is now made in China or Korea. This is clearly a Tascam designed product, and hopefully, Tascam also oversees the quality assurance of the production line. They are , of course, putting their corporate reputation on the line. It's interesting that many people today see Japanese made products as a "gold standard". I'm old enough to remember when most Japanese export products were literally made out of metal recycled from soda and beer cans and were likely to fail in the first few minutes of operation, if they worked at all. Just wait a couple of years and there will be people wishing for Chinese manufactured electronic products, since most production will then be shifted to Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyway, China or Japan, it really shouldn't matter if the device works well (as long as you don't worry about it being made of lead, melamine and used Toyota accelerator pedal assemblies). :-)

I looked at the set and can't tell. It doesn't say anywhere if it is actually made in Japan or elsewhere or if it is handmade. It is a beautiful little set, is heavy-duty and well-constructed, and very functional.

I thought they were all manufactured in Japan. Hmm - you might want to Google for a more definative answer.
