Electrical question. 100v appliance compatibility?

My wife wants to buy an electric tea kettle thing here in Japan. I flipped it over and it clearly calls it at 100volts 50-60 hertz.

Can I bring it home and plug it in at home? My friend says I need to step down the voltage.

Will there be an ozone-y smelling electrical fire?

The kettle is cool. It’s insulated so it boils and keeps the water hot. And it’s $33
