if it can handle the following specification
100V 50-60Hz 140W
But you will pay a lot of import tax, more than 3KG and it is an electronic application
This information you could find also by yourself I think

I guess I should have been a bit more specific. I wanted to emphasize "no issues at all" because while our systems are similar (USA & Japan), there are differences.
1. Outlet connector 2. It may work but at a reduced efficiency.
For #2, this happens when a product isn't used in the area it's intended for with some types of merchandise. I've seen engineers post here and was hoping they could provide some input. Or those who have used food processors from Japan in the USA. So, not really general information per say but please excuse the vague OP.

I dont agree with you #1 and #2 differences. I've seen lots of products both from USA and JP be used at the other country.
But buying a 3.88kg product, so over 2kg so massive shipping costs and maybe import duties. Why not by the USA version or similar of the same product?

Isn't the power at 110V in the States (100V in Japan), which means it can fluctuate up to 120V, so if you don't use a step down transformer you will be exposing it to voltage higher than it was designed for?

hakata14 - Please correct me if I'm wrong, there are no import duties for the USA from Japan (or at least not for Amazon). For the shipping costs, I'm going to have to add it to my cart to see what shipping costs it displays. I also plan to buy a Donabe from there so this is an important point.
AK - Good point and I may just avoid this product because of this. Thank you.
