Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
If the preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with additional
assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

3.8 GABA BROWN AND YUMAMI FUNCTIONS EXPLAINED
3.8.1 WHAT IS GABA BROWN?
The GABA brown rice (or germinated brown rice) function uses specific timing and temperatures so the brown rice is
allowed to germinate. When you select the GABA function on Fuji it will soak and activate the brown rice for you
using its
UMAI
(smart brain) fuzzy logic control, after which it begins to phase in the cooking process. During this
process, the inner bowl and its contents are kept at a specific temperature for part of the cooking cycle which
enables the brown rice to 'sprout'.
The full cooking time for GABA rice in Fuji, including the additional activation period, takes around 2 hours 25
minutes to complete. The result of this process alters the flavour and increases the levels of nutrients such as
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA brown rice has a softer texture than brown rice and a nuttier flavour.
The start time of the preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Fuji has to
assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can ‘assess’ the
contents.
