TOTO
The company that made the toilet high-tech.
What they're known for
The Washlet bidet seat and Neorest — Japanese sanitary engineering that turned the bathroom into a technology category.
TOTO has made sanitaryware in Kitakyushu, Japan since 1917, and more than any company it turned the bathroom into a field of engineering. The 1980 Washlet — the warm-water cleansing seat now ubiquitous in Japan — is the cultural artifact, but TOTO's depth runs through the whole fixture: glazes that stay clean, ultra-efficient flush dynamics, and the Neorest integrated toilet that bundles it all.
The company backs the design with real R&D and materials science; its CeFiONtect glaze and Tornado flush are genuine engineering, not marketing. For a bathroom that prioritizes hygiene and function at the highest level, TOTO is the global benchmark — the brand the rest of the industry follows on the toilet specifically.
