Having both shopped online, and visited in person I can highly recommend The Japanese Shop. Products are of very high quality, and the service is excellent - when we popped in to browse in person, the ladies in the store were really friendly and happy to help with anything. Although Im sure my purse will be screaming no, I will definitely be shopping again (probably in the near future).

Feb 2021. I used their online shop to buy a gift. Purchased a set of sake ceramics - really beautiful colour finish and website description details are accurate. The quality was better than expected considering the price! There was a lot of care taken in the packaging, enclosed with more details on the small business which was lovely to read. The postage time was more than reasonable concidering covid, I think it was around 3days to arrive. Very please with my purchase and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a more authentic Japanese gift.

I purchased a vase for my wife as a anniversary gift and the service was first class.
Ordered Friday and arrived Monday.
Packaging was well done and secure. The Bronze Traditional Japanese Ikebana Vase was a thing of beauty and was greeted with absolute delight. Now that I have discovered this store I will be using their services again and would highly recommend them to anyone who might be considering buying from them. The wee note inside was beautiful.
