For more on what the IHA Show is all about and a peek at what goes on there, see my past post on the IHA Show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/?p=2597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">here<\/span><\/a>. As always, it was a sold-out conference of over 2200 exhibitors from 47 countries, showing off their newest innovations in kitchen and home cleaning products. It\u2019s an exciting, fast, activity packed 4 days of meetings, seminars, panel discussions and dinners for all of these exhibitors\u2014and our friends from <strong>Zojirushi<\/strong> were there, unveiling brand new creations and celebrating their 100 Birthday!<\/p>\n<p>Just to give you a bit of the overall picture, the Show is divided into 3 halls at the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago. Home cleaning takes up the North Hall while kitchenware takes up the South. A smaller, but definitely the coolest hall, is filled with all the manufacturers of home electrical appliances\u2014and that is where <strong>Zojirushi<\/strong> is, right in the middle of it all.<\/p>\n<p>As always, our friends had many new products and innovations to unveil, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll hear more about them during the year. Here&#8217;s a couple of sneak peeks from me&#8211;the updated Fresh Brew Coffee Maker, and a new drink bottle from their travel mug collection. The Fresh Brew will now come included with a permanent, gold mesh coffee filter basket, so you won\u2019t have to replace the paper filters anymore. This is great news! Permanent filters save money, are easy enough to clean and are better for the environment because there\u2019s no paper waste. I like that!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/filter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/filter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Their newest insulated travel mug has these very stylish, gradient colors that accentuate the tall cap design on this bottle. I\u2019ve always been a fan of the colors that <strong>Zojirushi<\/strong> comes up with for their bottles, but they\u2019ve outdone themselves this time with these!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/bottles.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/bottles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also being introduced are these new drinking spouts on some of their models. The large opening is designed for quick guzzling when you\u2019re very thirsty\u2014but they\u2019re still watertight enough for your backpack. Neat, huh?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/lid.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/lid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was also told that for fans of stainless steel, there is a new water boiler with an inner tank made of their patented SlickSteel\u00ae surface, and a steel option will also become available on one of their rice cooker models. So if you&#8217;d rather have stainless steel than a nonstick surface, you can look forward to those!<\/p>\n<p>Besides all the wonderful technical gadgets and appliances that are demonstrated in this hall, you can smell all the aromas from fresh coffee and food cooking as you roam the aisles. Manufacturers of coffee makers and various cooking appliances all give out samples throughout the day, and <strong>Zojirushi<\/strong> is no different, as the staff is extremely busy, grilling tasty snacks on their gourmet griddles and cooking rice dishes with their rice cookers. I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s a <em>smorgasbord,<\/em> and there\u2019s nothing like the smell of good food to attract customers to your booth!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/staff.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/staff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMarlene and Nick from Zojirushi fanning and cooling fresh cooked sushi rice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shishkabob.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shishkabob.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Lamb Kebabs (<\/strong>original Zojirushi recipe)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/gilled-veggies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/gilled-veggies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Grilled Veggies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/okonomiyaki.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3231\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/okonomiyaki.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Okonomiyaki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/quinoa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/quinoa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Mediterranean Quinoa Salad<\/strong> (recipe from Marlene) <strong>&amp; Brown Rice Tabbouleh<\/strong> (Zojirushi original)<\/p>\n<p>Scenes from the <strong>100th Anniversary<\/strong> party that <strong>Zojirushi<\/strong> held at their booth for their customers and guests.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sign.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/party.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What a spread!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sushi1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sushi1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this look from behind the curtains at this year\u2019s International Housewares Show.

Zojirushi enthusiast and professional writer. California resident with roots in Hawaii and Japan. Classic rock, popcorn movies, audio books, spam, sushi and cone filtered coffee. Guilty pleasures include donuts and pop bands like ABBA and Wham! Don't laugh, you should see my vinyl collection--I give hair bands and prog equal credit.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/author\/btanimoto\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3223"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3254,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3223\/revisions\/3254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
