Needed something to make a proper ramen night for my mate's birthday and this kit had everything in it. Ordered on a Monday, it was at my door by Thursday, which was quick. The broth base is rich and the noodles are chewy in a good way. Didn't have to hunt around for missing bits either, the instructions were clear and it was all in one box. Mate loved it, we'll be ordering again for sure.

The pickles and the sesame seeds were fine and the flavours are authentic. Delivery took a good five working days though and the postage added quite a bit to the total, so I'd only order when I needed a few things together.

The matcha I wanted was out of stock so they suggested a similar one and explained the difference clearly. I was very happy with the way it was handled and the tea itself was lovely.

I needed a gift for my flatmate who loves Japanese snacks so I went for a mixed box. Ordering was dead easy and the box turned up looking nice. Some of the biscuits were a bit crushed though, which was annoying. Taste is great tho.
Had never ordered from here before so went for the starter bundle to see what it was like. The stuff was good quality and the mirin tasted proper. The order page took a while to load on my phone though. Would give it another go.
Really good stuff, the sake they sent was smooth and the bottle was well wrapped. Only thing is it took three days to dispatch even though it said one. Still, arrived fine and I'd order again.
