"Dear Hiromi, I just want to say how very impressed I am with the quick processing of my order and its prompt delivery. I cannot comment on the actual products, as they are a gift (and have been so beautifully wrapped!) but I have bought things from The Japanese Shop before so I know they will be beautiful as well as useful. The recipient is a fan of all things Japanese so it's a perfect present! I know I will be shopping with you again, your products are just lovely and so different and the customer service is second to none. The amazing FREE gift wrapping is an added bonus. Thank you so much, and best wishes for the Christmas season."

"Konnichiwa Hiromi. I have just received my framed woodblock print of the Great Wave. I am absolutely thrilled with it. Thank you so much. It’s even better in real life and the shopping experience with you has been second to none. The whole process has been so easy and it was only ordered on Friday and it’s been delivered very safely superbly packed on time today by DHL - a superb service. It’s a quality item and it’s been worth waiting for. I’ve always adored this wonderful print for many years and to get it as a wood block print using authentic materials and the superb frame has made my day. I would thoroughly recommend the Japanese shop and this fabulous print to everyone. Well worth the money, the quality is sublime. Many many thanks."

"Just to say thank you for the efficient and safe delivery of the gift I ordered for my daughter and son in law. Not only is the bowl beautiful in design, it will very much remind them of their visit to japan, which they loved. I was minded to visit your online store as my daughter presented me with one of your kimono dressing gowns for my recent birthday. This also was of superb quality, so once again, thank you so much."

"I googled ramen bowls and your shop came up. I was a bit concerned it might not be real so I called to confirm. I was reassured so went ahead and ordered my bowls. I was sending them to my nephew for his birthday. They arrived beautifully packaged and wrapped in gift wrap with a tag written as per my instructions. What more can you ask of an online shop. Perfection."

I realised after I had placed my order that a free gift wrapping service is available and thought I would be too late. However, I emailed and asked and was promptly told this was no problem and would be done. Such personal and excellent customer service and makes for a really great experience. I will definitely be shopping again. Thank you!"

"We purchased a vase & incense set for our hallway & we were absolutely delighted with the items we received so couldn't wait to put them on display when they arrived. The packaging was thoughtful & well considered to deliver fragile items and accompanying our items was a letter from Hiromi attached to a petite & beautifully delicate origami construct as a gift. Highly recommended & reminiscent of the levels of quality & thoughtfulness that Japanese culture proudly embodies."

"Hello Hiromi, I received my lucky cat today after only ordering at the weekend. Very speedy; thank you. It is for my teenage nephew who is mad about all things Japanese. Just to say this is the second time I have ordered with you, and I love the little origami grasshoppers (cranes!) included in the orders. It’s a really nice touch. The boy will love the cat I am sure. I shall be ordering again for sure."

"I ordered one of their beautiful folding fans complete with a holder and a case. I forgot to order gift wrapping at check-out but upon my contacting them thereafter, they graciously did that for me at no extra cost. Their communication in this matter was prompt and courteous. The order shipped within the promised timeframe. The gift wrapping was beautiful, and even included a tiny origami crane. (I did not get to see the actual products as I bought them as gifts, and so I never opened the wrapping.) I can wholeheartedly recommend this online shop to anyone looking for genuine, quality Japanese products."

"Dear Hiromi, Thank you so much for my recent order, it was extremely fast (considering parcels usually take longer for us on the west coast of Scotland) and the craftsmanship is superb. Very fairly priced for such quality items. My ten year old son, Leon, is entranced with japanese culture, he loves his new bowl and chopsticks. He can eat his ramen in style now, while reading the Hagakure...I'll be making another order very soon, we love your shop. Again many thanks."

"Dear Hiromi, Many thanks for the gift wrapped rice paper which I received this morning. I was delighted with the product and also with the careful and thoughtful way in which it was sent. It reached me in an excellent state as it was secure in firm packaging, since the product is very fragile. An extra charming bonus besides the gift- wrapping was the little origami bird included in the parcel. It all made my day!"

"Konnichiwa Hiromi, Just to say I have received my order from the Japanese Shop & am really happy with the service even although I haven’t seen inside the gifts as I didn’t want to disturb the beautiful wrapping. One is a gift for someone who went to Japan for work a few years ago & the Osaka gift set is for my friend who I travelled with to Japan only a few weeks ago & we visited Osaka, I’m sure they will both be delighted with their Japanese gifts. Arigatou!"
