AVOID! And buy from trusted sellers.

Made an order exactly two years ago and yet hasn’t Arrived.
Contacted them a year after the order was placed and got this reply;

Hi Marwan Esserafy,

thank you for your email. We expect the delivery of your backordered knife in April. Then we will ship your order immediately!

All the best,

Now they have changed the website name and address and moonlighting as Japana home instead.

Not recommended at all. Avoid them like the plague.

It came not as expected

I bought the cutting board for a gift, but the box containing it was not the nice one described in the website, but just a simple thin white cardboard box. The item had a couple of small dents, which I guess were made during transportation, so sturdier bubble wrapping should be used. Since the recipient of the gift was happy enough to keep it, I did not return it.

Reply from Japana

Thank you Jose for taking your time in reviewing your purchase, we really appreciate it. We're happy your loved one liked the gift. We're really sorry to hear that there were any dents, the way we package our orders usually works very well. (We are conscious about the environment so we try to put an optimum wrapping materials - not too much, not too little, and as you may be aware - it adds up quite easily). Had we known that earlier, we would be happy to exchange you the product before you gifted it.
Regarding the box, it's the box with originality stamp that our Japanese maker supplies us with since some time. The information on the website should reflect that so thank you for pointing that out.
All the best to you and your loved one.

Japana, top quality products and service.

To date I have purchased a cutting board and a Moritaka gyuto from Japana. Both times proved a positive experience.
They were helpful with any enquires I had and both the products and services were fantastic.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for quality Japanese products at a competitive price.

Wonderful quality

Wonderful quality, and customer service
got back to me in a quick and friendly fashion. I ordered a beautiful magnetic knife stand, and it is a classy addition to my Japanese knife set. I had been researching different ways to store knives, and the magnetic board is a great way to ensure longer use out of your knives. Highly recommend their products.

Knowledgeable, resourceful and definitely goes the extra mile

I ordered a deba knife and a chopping board from Japana. After a slight initial mix up, they actually got me a one-off order in from Japan, and I was given quite a lot of choice. The girls went through a lot of effort to get it sorted and it was a wait that was worthwhile. The aomori hiba chopping board arrived together and they're a dream to use together. s
Totally worth shopping with them, it's rare to come across customer care that'll be done this personal nowadays.

Worth the wait

Worth the wait. I ordered my handmade magnetic stand the walnut version and it came within 2 weeks. A real masterpiece. It's made with care for every detail, the quality you feel just by looking at their accessories

Fantastic quality and service

Fantastic quality and service.
I bought a pair of Kintsugi Japanese Plates. They are superb and compliment my minimalist kitchen very well. I can't wait for the continuation of the series.
The only reservation I had before the purchase was the price, but the quality is well worth it. Plus there is real gold in the plates!
