ARAHI｜アラヒ
ご飯を美味しく炊くために開発された家庭用羽釜。輸送用機器部品製造、産業用機械・ロボット設計製作を行う株式会社イハラ製作所のアルミ鋳造技術を用い、家庭用のガスコンロの火力でもプロの料理人が使う羽釜に近い炊飯が可能。
The Arahi Hagama is a stovetop rice cooker designed and developed to cook delicious rice at home. Ihara Seisakusho, a manufacturer of transportation equipment, industrial machinery and robots, uses its aluminium casting technology to cook rice with the heat of a household gas stove, to a level similar to that of a professional chef.
本体周囲の特徴的な羽は、側面に回り込む炎を受け、内部に熱を伝える。また、底面の炎の当たる部分にはフィンを設け、鍋内部への熱伝導をサポートする。
The distinctive wings around the body catch and guide the flames that go around the sides, transferring heat to the rice within. In addition, fins are placed on the bottom to properly support heat conduction to the inside of the pot while cooking.
開発の際には、炊飯に対するリサーチ、料理人と熱工学者の監修、試作による仮説検証、試食、等を繰り返し行った。結果として、熱伝導率を極限まで高め、沸騰までの温度上昇を早めることにより、歯ごたえがあり噛むほどに甘みが出るアルミ羽釜独自の炊きあがりを実現した。これは土鍋による炊飯の柔らかく甘みの強い炊きあがりとは異なる特徴である。
During development, UO repeatedly conducted research on rice cooking, supervised by chefs and thermal engineers, verified hypotheses through prototyping and tastings. As a result, by increasing the thermal conductivity to the utmost limit and so reducing the time required to reach boiling, we were able to achieve a cooking profile unique to an aluminium Hagama – one that is chewy and fragrant as you bite into it, and different from the often soft and sweet earthenware-cooked rice.
