Pearl Metal Co., Ltd., a household goods manufacturer based in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, will launch a new series of five home appliances on September 25, 2026 (Friday) under the kitchen brand VISIONS, for which it serves as the domestic distributor.
The new lineup includes an oven toaster, a hand blender, two types of hot plates, and an electric kettle. All five products share a color scheme that is characteristic of VISIONS: black as the base color with gold accents.
The products will be sold first through Pearl Metal's official EC site, the "PEARL LIFE Official Online Shop," and its directly operated shop, "HOME&FIELD," before rolling out to specialty stores and department stores.
"Seeing Inside Makes Cooking Fun." VISIONS Began With an Amber Glass Pot
VISIONS is a kitchen brand whose signature product is an amber-colored glass pot.
The VISIONS glass pot, which originated in France in 1983, lets cooks watch the food inside change as it cooks without having to lift the lid. Being able to watch a dish take shape is a distinctive part of the experience the brand offers.
The glass pot also uses "Pyroceram," a material that has been used in the nose cones of NASA space shuttles. It has such high resistance to thermal shock that it can go straight from the freezer onto the stovetop, another feature central to the VISIONS glass pot.
Watching ingredients gradually change color, noticing when a dish starts to simmer, seeing a dish come together as intended — the sense of reassurance and discovery that comes from being able to "see," and enjoying the process of cooking itself, are what VISIONS is built on.

"Matching Colors Just Feel Right." Not Just the Tools, but the Look of the Kitchen
Unified in black and gold, the new appliances pair well with the glass pot
In developing this appliance series, the priority was a sense of unity when the products are placed together in a kitchen. Cooking tools often spend more time sitting in the kitchen than actually being used. With that in mind, VISIONS focused not only on usability but also on how the products feel when simply on display.
All five products share a color scheme of black as the base with gold accents reminiscent of the brand's signature amber tone. The aim was a design that is easy to use on its own, but that also creates a sense of unity when placed alongside the glass pot or other kitchen tools.
Even appliances that differ in function and use come together as a single visual whole when their colors and textures are aligned. And even though glass pots, appliances, and kitchen tools are different kinds of items, choosing VISIONS pieces lets people build a kitchen surrounded by things they like.
Having favorite tools in view, and a kitchen that feels a little more comfortable because the colors and design line up — that kind of feeling, one that can't be measured by function or specs alone, is part of the richness of cooking time that VISIONS wants to offer.
From a Glass Pot to the Whole Kitchen: VISIONS' Vision for a "New Cooking Time"
Cooking is part of everyday life, but on busy days it can start to feel like just another chore. What VISIONS aims for going forward is turning cooking into time for yourself. Central to that are two experiences: "seeing inside makes cooking fun" and "matching colors just feel right."
Through these experiences, VISIONS hopes to make standing in the kitchen, and the time spent cooking, something to enjoy a little more, rather than simply a task to get through.
Starting from the glass pot, VISIONS is expanding the experience it offers from cookware and kitchen tools into home appliances.
New Product Lineup Highlights
VISIONS Oven Toaster BK
Simple and easy to use every day. A minimal, compact oven toaster.
VISIONS Oven Toaster BK
Mornings are best when there's as little to think about, and as little extra effort, as possible. The VISIONS oven toaster works with a simple operation: put in the bread and set the timer.
It has 800W upper and lower heaters and toasts 6-slice-cut bread in about 3 minutes. Two slices of bread fit inside at once.
Without adding more functions than necessary, it's easy to use even on a busy morning, while its black-and-gold coloring and matte finish were designed with how it looks in the kitchen in mind.
Something you use every day is best kept this simple — a toaster that keeps your everyday kitchen looking the way you like, without adding extra hassle.
VISIONS Hand Blender BK
"I can actually make this myself." An appliance for small discoveries in cooking.
VISIONS Hand Blender BK
Potages, sauces, dressings — dishes people would like to try making but often put off because of the effort involved. A hand blender can make cooking like this more approachable than expected.
The VISIONS hand blender comes with blender, chopper, and whisk attachments that can be swapped out to support prep work such as pureeing, mixing, chopping, and whipping in one device. Speed can be adjusted steplessly, and it also has a turbo function. Because it can be used directly in a pot or bowl, it's easy to bring into everyday cooking.
There's no need to force yourself to expand your cooking repertoire — trying it with the ingredients you already have often turns out easier than expected. From small discoveries like "I can actually make this myself," what you cook naturally starts to expand.
The VISIONS hand blender is a reliable tool for finding more reasons to enjoy cooking.
VISIONS Deep Hot Plate BK / Hot Plate DX Set BK
A compact size for more tabletop cooking. Not too big is just right for a hot plate.
VISIONS Deep Hot Plate BK
The "VISIONS Deep Hot Plate BK," which comes with a deep plate, and the "VISIONS Hot Plate DX Set BK," which comes with three plates — deep, flat, and takoyaki — launch at the same time.
Hot plates are convenient, but larger ones can be a hassle to take out and put away, and often end up staying in storage. VISIONS hot plates are compact enough that the base fits within an A4-sized footprint. That size makes them easy to bring out and place on the table for two or three people, and easy to work into everyday meals.
The deep plate handles everything from hot pot dishes to grilled food, the flat plate suits everyday grilling, and the takoyaki plate is for takoyaki as well as dishes like ajillo or sweets. Heat can be adjusted steplessly to suit what's being cooked, and the plates can be removed and washed.
There's no need to make a special occasion out of using a hot plate — it's easy to bring into everyday meals and makes tabletop cooking more approachable.
VISIONS Electric Kettle BK
Your everyday cup, part of your everyday scene. A kettle that fits in whether it's in use or on display.
VISIONS Electric Kettle BK
Morning coffee, or tea during a break from work or chores — boiling water for a single cup is one of the small moments that make up everyday life.
The VISIONS electric kettle boils about 140ml, enough for one cup, in about 1 minute. It holds up to 1L, so it can be used for anything from a single cup of tea to water for cooking.
It switches off automatically once the water boils and includes a boil-dry prevention function and a tip-over lock to prevent spills. Water-level windows on both sides of the body and a removable lid make it easy to fill and clean.
Since it's something used almost every day, care was taken not only with usability but also with how it looks when simply sitting out. With its black base and gold accents typical of VISIONS, along with a clean, straight form, it fits naturally into daily life whether in use or on display.
