Most of Made in Japan products are sourced from small, family-run kilns in Gifu on the central island of Honshu, with the rest of our collections sourced from all over Japan. Our products make their way from Japan to our lovely warehouse in Yorkshire, where we keep them safe until it’s time for them to head to their new homes.

Explore the artistry of Japanese tea from buds to brew in this comprehensive illustrated guide to the tea industry that includes the Japanese growers, their craft of tea making, and how the tradition of tea has had an influence on cuisine, art, design, and health.
This visual exploration of one of the world’s most popular beverages tells the stories of tea and tea making in Japan: how it is grown, harvested, and dried, as well as how it is prepared and enjoyed. Through interviews with tea growers, information on health benefits from Dr. Andrew Weil, and amazing recipes from chefs David Bouley, Hirohisa, and Cesar Ramirez, you will discover all there is to know about Japanese tea.
This perfect gift for tea lovers shares the stories of tea from its origins to the present, packaged in a beautiful photographic book compiled by Zach Mangan, the founder of Kettl, a New York City- and Fukuoka-based tea and teaware company.

What’s in the box?
Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
A beautiful small dish - exactly what I wanted. It’s charming and a beautiful blue. Delivery was very rapid and the dish was carefully wrapped in Japanese newspaper and bubble wrap. Very pleased!

Fantastic experience with Made in Japan. Beautiful plates, carefully packaged and very fast shipping with excellent customer service.
As a business it’s great to find a supplier that clearly have a lot of passion for what they do. Will definitely be using in
the future.
