Beautiful product and amazing service

As a recent customer of Made in Japan I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The plates I ordered are beautiful to look at and lovely to use. Delivery was very prompt and the parcel was so well wrapped that safe delivery was guaranteed. A query I had was dealt with promptly, courteously and professionally. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be a repeat customer

I tried to order a mug online & it…

I tried to order a mug online & it always rejects the 10% discount code. It happened before Christmas in 2023 & it continues in 2024. I called head office back in 2023 they informed me that their IT department will sort it out. Well that hasn’t happen!!

Loved the copper swirl collection but after 3 months everything was holding up well except the flat plates which started getting these white oval patches (washed by hands, not washing machine and it doesnt look/feel like anything was scrapped off?)

I have made 3 purchases from MIJ and I love the items I have gotten and I will definitely be buying more from them. The plates/bowls are always extremely well wrapped up and you can see the care that goes into packaging each item.

Beautiful products and great customer service

Purchased dish plates from their online store. Despite the issue we had problem with courier on the first delivery, the team resolved the problem promptly and we received the beautiful plates. I felt the staff care about their customers and also the quality the products they offer. Absolutely top notch brand!!

gorgeous plates!

I ordered for cobalt blue dinner plates and serving bowls. The package arrived within a couple of days with a hand written 'thank you' note on the bill. The plates are absolutely gorgeous and classy and so are the bowls. Identical to what is shown on the pic! Simply loved 'em.
