Osaka first domestically produced the <em>mahobin<\/em> around 1912, leveraging the region&#8217;s expertise in glass and lightbulb production, originating from European innovations.<\/p>\n<p>These flasks were initially largely exported, particularly to Southeast Asia, because of the high demand from European colonists. This export boom led to the development of brand identity in Japan, with Zojirushi emerging as a notable player. Founded in 1918 by the Ishikawa brothers, Zojirushi began as a bottle workshop. It later evolved into a <em>mahobin<\/em> wholesaler, and introduced the iconic elephant mark as their trademark.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Luxury Turned Everyday Comfort with Insulated Carafes<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7825 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Pour-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Someone is pouring from the chrome carafe into small vintage cups\" width=\"260\" height=\"314\" \/><\/h6>\n<p>In post-war Japan, people considered vacuum bottles and insulated carafes a luxury. But Zojirushi, driven by Shigeyuki Ichikawa\u2019s visionary approach, transitioned this luxury into a daily comfort. By 1948, our innovative tabletop pot, designed for the Western dining experience, found its place in countless homes. Known for its unique shape, we called it the \u201cPelican Pot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7827 aligncenter\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Top-Pelican-e1704759135329-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Top view of a chrome carafe has the upper lid open allowing to see the actual lid.\" width=\"262\" height=\"342\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Its popularity soared, making it a bestseller by 1956. These products, along with the introduction of designs like the floral print flask, cemented Zojirushi&#8217;s position as a market leader. The company also ventured into other product lines, notably transitioning to stainless steel vacuum flasks and developing the cook-and-keep-warm rice cooker, marking its evolution into a comprehensive manufacturer of everyday goods. This was a testament to our commitment to blending practicality with luxury, using materials like stainless steel for durability and quality.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Celebrating Our Roots: From Glass Lined Pots to Thermal Carafes<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Jumping ahead to 1988, our 70th anniversary, we celebrated by reviving the iconic Pelican Pot, integrating a touch of history into modern dining experiences. Those interested in our legacy can visit our headquarters in Osaka, Japan. Here, you\u2019ll discover a range of innovations, from glass-lined pots that preserve flavor to advanced thermal carafes. We even showcase the <em>Mahobin<\/em>, the water bottle that supported an Olympic victory &#8211; a testament to our technological advancements.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Zojirushi Today<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7824 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Pelican pot on a kitchen counter with a plan to the right and wooden kitchen utensils and two vintage cups with a flower design on the left.\" width=\"584\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-1536x799.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-2048x1066.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-320x167.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-480x250.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-800x416.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pelican-Carafe-Kichen-Counter-500x260.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since the days of the \u201cPelican Pot\u201d, Zojirushi has continued to innovate, leveraging its vacuum technology in various fields, including space exploration and sports. The company&#8217;s <em>mahobin<\/em> technology has been adapted for extreme conditions, such as withstanding high speeds in space and maintaining temperature for Olympic athletes.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in 2004, Zojirushi\u2019s stainless-steel bottle was used by the long-distance runner Mizuki Noguchi, during the race she took home gold. Carrying the drinking water that hydrated her during her run, this bottle was a work of craft that kept the liquid temperature at 10\u00b0 C (50\u00b0 F). The bottle committed to its job perfectly, enough for Noguchi herself to say, &#8220;This bottle saved me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These advancements not only demonstrate Zojirushi&#8217;s commitment to innovation but also underscore the global impact and versatility of the <em>mahobin<\/em>, as it continues to be a beloved and essential item in households and industries worldwide. The technology has evolved into today\u2019s coffee pots, water boilers, kettles, and glass lined vacuum carafes.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have cherished memories of the Pelican Pot during family gatherings?
