Global YOGURTiA features
Make many fermented foods at home, with simple controls
Add the ingredients, then set the temperature and timer. With YOGURTiA, making fermented foods is that simple.
A memory function saves your recent settings, and the timer can be set in 10-minute steps for times under one hour, so it's easy to repeat a batch. We hope it makes cooking with fermented foods more enjoyable.
Adjust in 1°C (or 1°F) steps
More accurate temperature control
A built-in controller and a higher-output heater let YOGURTiA hold the temperature more accurately and more steadily.
Switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C)
Press the up and down temperature buttons at the same time to switch between °C and °F.
That makes it easy to use in kitchens around the world.
Set the timer your way
10–50 minutes in 10-minute steps, or whole hours
For times under one hour, the timer can be set from 10 to 50 minutes in 10-minute steps, handy for shorter cooking times.
Temperature and time by recipe
| Store-bought yogurt | 40°C (104°F) / 7 hours |
| Amazake, shio koji (salt koji), shoyu koji (soy sauce koji), white miso | 60°C (140°F) / 6 hours |
| Onsen eggs | 70°C (158°F) / 40 minutes |

Simpler operation
with the memory function
The memory function recalls past temperature and time settings with one touch. Press the memory button to step through your last three settings, so you don't have to enter the same settings every time.
A buzzer tells you
when fermentation is done
A buzzer sounds when fermentation finishes, so you won't miss it. The buttons also beep, which helps prevent mistakes. You can turn the buzzer and the button sounds on or off.
About the glass pot
A glass pot developed with HARIO
The glass pot was developed with HARIO, a maker of heat-resistant glass founded in 1921.
HARIO and TANICA combined their engineering expertise to develop a glass pot that is safe and easy to use. It is made at a heat-resistant glass factory in Japan.
Resists odors and scratches, and is built to last
Glass resists odors and scratches, so it works well for natto, miso, shoyu koji, and amazake. It's also a good choice if the smell of plastic containers bothers you.
Glass can break. Please handle it with care.
CHECK
Odors don't transfer easily, even in the refrigerator
Sanitize the pot with heat
The pot is heat-resistant glass and can be sanitized in the microwave or with boiling water. It stands up to sudden temperature changes, which makes it well suited to microwave sanitizing.
CHECK
Thermal shock resistance: a temperature difference of 120°C (216°F)
Designed to be easy to use
The quick-twist lid is simple to close. The handle on the lid folds down, so the pot fits in the refrigerator. The measurement markings are printed in red so they are easy to read.
CHECK
Handy, and easy to clean
Refrigerate food right in the glass pot
After you make yogurt, natto, or shoyu koji, store it in the refrigerator in the same glass pot. There's no need to move it to another container.
CHECK
No need to transfer

Q&A
Yogurt
Can I use store-bought yogurt as a starter?
Yes. Choose plain, unflavored yogurt with no fruit or gelatin.
If the starter contains agar or gelatin, the yogurt may turn out loose. Some plain yogurts also don't set well.
Can I make yogurt with soy milk instead of cow's milk?
Yes. Use soy milk with at least 6.5% soybean solids.
Caspian Sea yogurt may not set well.
How long does finished yogurt keep?
About one week in the refrigerator.
Once you open the glass pot, eat the yogurt as soon as you can.
If it smells or looks off, don't eat it; throw it away.
Amazake
Why did the surface of my amazake change color?
Browning in amazake is thought to come from the Maillard reaction, in which amino acids from soybeans, rice, or barley react with sugars and form brown pigments. The color differences among brands of rice miso come mainly from this reaction.
If amazake or shio koji turns gray, melanin is thought to be the cause. It is still fine to eat, but if the smell or taste seems off, unwanted microbes may have gotten in. In that case, don't eat it; throw it away.
Why isn't my amazake sweet?
If you add rice koji while the rice is still hot, the heat can inactivate the enzymes and the amazake may not turn sweet. Add the water first, let the rice cool, then add the rice koji. Fermenting longer can also make it sweeter. Sweetness and flavor depend on the koji, too, so try a different kind.
How long does amazake keep?
About one week in the refrigerator, and about three months in the freezer.
