Far better than the usual supermarket sauce

Compared with the soy sauce I've been buying from the big chains, this brewed one has a much deeper flavour and less of that salty bite. I've been cooking Japanese food at home for years so I notice these things. The bottle came well packed and the ordering process was simple enough.

got the ramen kit for a mate

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 customer team sorted my query quickly

What impressed me most was that I emailed about a substitution on my order and had a full, polite reply within the hour, which is more than I can say for some shops. 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.

Honestly really good

Yeah this is a good place. Ordered some ramen packs and a bag of nori, got it all in a couple of days and everything was fresh. The noodles cook up well and the seaweed is crisp, not soggy like the stuff I got before. Would order again no bother, cheers.

Been buying from them for years

I have been a customer for a long time now and I have bought the same green tea more times than I can count. The quality has stayed consistent and the tin arrives sealed and fresh. Ordering through the account is simple. I am happy to keep returning.

Needed a proper gyoza sauce

I needed a decent dipping sauce for a dinner party and didn't fancy making it from scratch. The ponzu was zingy and balanced, the way it should be. Ordering took a minute and it reached me before the weekend.

The matcha powder is spot on

Ordered the ceremonial grade matcha after comparing a couple of other shops for a while. The colour is a proper bright green and it whisks up smooth with no clumps. Delivery was tracked and the tin arrived in good nick. Happy to pay this for something I drink every morning.

lovely first order

Really pleased with what turned up, the tea and the rice crackers were both lovely. The site was easy to use and told me when things were on their way. I'd say it is the best place I have found for this kind of thing in the UK.

The sesame oil is the real deal

I bought the toasted sesame oil and it smells nutty straight away when you open it. A few drops is enough for a whole stir fry, so it goes further than I expected. Packaging was tidy and nothing leaked.

Exactly what i needed for the weekly shop

I needed somewhere to buy Japanese pantry staples without paying high-street prices for a tiny bottle of mirin. The basket came to a good bit less than my usual supermarket run for the same things, and the miso paste lasted ages. Checkout was quick and the order turned up when they said it would. Nothing I'd complain about for the money.

Better value than my usual shop

Compared the price of the sushi rice with what I normally pay locally, and this came out cheaper per kilo once you add up the postage. The grains cook up sticky in the right way. Ordering was straightforward and it arrived on time. Sensible buy.

Would order again

Really good first experience, ordered the starter bundle and everything turned up in about three days. The rice crackers were the best bit, nothing like the ones from the supermarket. Easy checkout too.
