We had an unbelievable time at Japan Expo 2015!
A very big thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to visit our booth last week! It was an absolute joy to finally meet our customers in person after exchanging e-mails for so long. With so many orders coming in from Europe, your enthusiasm for Japanese culture was never in doubt - but even so, we never could have imagined the response would be so positive!

Men and women,
Infants and adults,
Individuals and businesses,
Families and friends...

The number of visitors to our store far exceeded our expectations!
In fact, by the time the end of the final day rolled around, our booth was all but sold out!
Thank you all so much for making that happen.

The whole experience was exciting, challenging, and most of all, very rewarding!
With one of the biggest Japanese expos under our belt, we’re definitely interested in showcasing our items in other parts of the world.

How did you like our booth? Did you enjoy getting a taste of traditional Japan?
