The activity of Tiger (Torajirushi) dates back to 1923, when the Takenori Kikuchi family business was founded in Osaka.

Product features and use
As a material for thermoses, stainless steel of the highest quality (food grade) is used, the fastening of individual parts is carried out using laser welding. The production process is carried out at a high temperature, which eliminates any deformation of the surface of the flask.
To improve the heat-saving properties, in addition to vacuum, a copper membrane is placed inside the flask, which accumulates thermal energy. The vacuum located between the walls of the container, due to the absence of air molecules, isolates heat well. Due to this combination, thermoses can save heat for 24 hours.
It is worth noting that Tiger is the only company that uses this technology in practice.
Ergonomic lids with elastic seals are hermetically sealed and do not allow spillage of liquid. The compact and rounded shapes of the products provide maximum ease of use. The main requirements for the operation of thermoses:
- do not drop the product, as this can damage the laser soldering of the seams and violate the vacuum space;
- it is not recommended to wash in the dishwasher;
- cannot be used in a microwave oven.
Subject to the rules of proper operation, the manufacturer provides a 15-year warranty for its products.
