Cook rice bread by using GOPAN that can easily bake rice bread from rice grain at home.

Don't Need Wheat at All

    Do you think using wheat is necessary whenever you cook bread with the bread maker? Almost all of the bread makers sold in the world use wheat as the necessary base ingredient. “GOPAN” is the exception.
    In Japan, a country that possesses 2000 years of rice-based culture, a new kind of bread maker has been invented by SANYO. Japanese people are extremely knowledgeable regarding the best way to bring out the taste of rice. Starting with sushi which has become one of the gourmet foods of the world, recent years also see rice bun burgers gaining popularity. The zeal for Japanese food combined with SANYO’s leading edge technology has led to the birth of GOPAN. A bread maker which makes delicious bread using just rice and no wheat has thus been developed.
    Does any member of your family have a wheat allergy? If so, you likely had to go through a lot of trouble when cooking every day or you might have been forced to purchase fairly expensive bread from a specialty store that caters to food allergies. For you, it must be a considerable burden to purchase bread at such specialty stores every week, or every day. Moreover, the one who has food allergy may feel bad for causing such inconvenience for the rest of the family.
    How great would it be if you could make bread that everyone feels comfortable eating, at home and whenever you want like other normal families…. By using “GOPAN”, you can cook as much wheat-free bread as you want at home and your whole family can enjoy eating it without having to worry about allergies.

Easy and Automatic

   Making wheat-free rice bread is easy and fast. In the bread pan, place 320g of rice, 320g of water, 32g of sugar, 7g of salt, 5g of dry yeast, and 80g of powdered rice (joshinko). Select the "Wheat-Free Setting" and press the start button. In less than 4 hours, you can enjoy rice bread. So, if you start cooking it in the afternoon, you can enjoy fresh bread at dinner time. The cooking process is a bit noisy, but please think of the noise as a indication that delicious bread is in the making and look forward to the end product.

Total 28 Courses Provided for Making a Wide Variety of Bread

   “GOPAN” is not only a product recommended for those with wheat allergy, but also one of the best fully functioned bread makers. As follows, it has 28 preset menus, and a control panel which allows you to cook a wide variety of bread, pizza, noodles and rice cake just by simply selecting your desired preference. It only takes one “GOPAN” bread maker to enrich your dinner table.

An English Manual And a Recipe Book

   Unfortunately, “GOPAN” is a product aimed at and produced only for Japan’s domestic market. At present, SANYO has yet to formally launch this product worldwide. Even the manual is offered only in Japanese. We feel that it is regrettable that such an amazing product has not been introduced to the world. But, We hope that all families with members that have wheat allergy are able to enjoy delicious bread. We also hope that families can relax and have fun while experimenting with various kinds of bread. Thus, we have decided to offer a brief English manual and a recipe book. In the first place, “GOPAN” is a machine that is very simple to operate, but if you read the manual and recipe book you will be able to make the best use out of it.
