My item was purchased a few years ago. It is possible that the company may have outsourced some of its products in certain years. Best way to get your answer is to contact Zojirushi. They have a website: Zojirushi.com or Zojirushi Customer Service:Phone: (800) 733-6270 / (310) 769-1900 and email address (info@zojirushi.com)

I'm pretty sure it's made in China. I don't have the unit here to look at, but I think I remember noticing that. Maybe someone else will know.

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 all over the item and the box, couldn't find a country of origin. I'll guess Japan, but it could also be China.

From what I'm able to determine through feedback by others, the unit is made in China.

Mine is made in China. But don't worry they're made with Japan's strict quality standards.

I bought one less than a year ago, and mine was made in Japan, it probably still is. It is wonderful, I wouldn't be without one.

If not mention, then it is China. Otherwise they will emblazon "made in USA" or "made in France" to justify a higher price. China, in terms of quality of products made there is still light years behind Japan.

It's companay is Japan but this is made in China. If you want Japanese made, you need to get JNP model. See my review for the difference.

Sorry, I had to revise my review. Had to send the darn thing back. Please read new review. Don't recall exactly, but I believe it was made in China. Isn't everything nowadays?

I don't know where it was made but it is made very well. I've used it for a while now and it's been great. Worth every penny I paid.
