Marna Kiwami Ultimate Rice Washer & Strainer
Proper washing is the crucial first step to cooking good rice. Developed with Japanese rice experts, the Marna Kiwami (Ultimate) Rice Washer & Strainer gently washes away excess starch and drains the water without losing a grain — and without cold hands.
What's Included
- 1 x Marna Kiwami Ultimate Rice Washer & Strainer
Key Features
- 2-in-1 Design: Combines a gentle whisk for washing and an integrated strainer for draining, all in one tool.
- Gentle on Grains: The unique whisk head agitates the rice to release surface starch without breaking the delicate grains, a key to fluffy rice.
- Efficient Draining: The long slits on the top of the tool allow you to quickly drain cloudy water while effectively holding back every grain of rice.
- Hygienic & Comfortable: Keeps your hands out of cold water and provides a clean, comfortable alternative to washing by hand.
- Soft Scraper Tip: The soft elastomer tip lets you effectively stir and scrape rice from the bottom and corners of the bowl.
How to Use
- Place rice in your bowl and add cold water.
- Use the whisk end to gently stir the rice 10-20 times.
- Use the top of the tool as a strainer to block the rice as you pour out the cloudy water.
- Repeat the wash-and-drain process 2 to 3 times. Over-washing can remove flavour.
Pro Tip: Proper washing is the first step. Read our guide to learn the complete method for cooking perfect rice, backed by Japanese research.

Good to know before you buy: warranty, size and heating
- Warranty: 12-month manufacturer's warranty. If anything goes wrong, contact us first — we lodge the claim, and Tiger's or Zojirushi's authorised Australian service centre carries out the repair and contacts you directly.
- Australian models: All rice cookers we stock are Australian 240V models — not grey imports.
- Size: Capacity is in cups of uncooked rice, using the 180 ml rice cup in the box — not a 250 ml metric cup. 3 cups suits singles and couples, 5.5 cups a household of 3–5, and 10 cups larger families or batch cooking.
- Heating: Base-heat models are simple and affordable. Induction (IH) heats the whole pot evenly for noticeably better rice. IH pressure gives the softest, sweetest rice and handles brown rice best. Not sure which? Read Induction vs conventional rice cookers.
- Spare parts: We stock replacement inner pots for every rice cooker we sell.
- More guides: Which rice cooker is best for you? · Does your rice cooker take too long to cook? · All manuals
