Elegantly understated, aesthetically pleasing, reasonably priced, effortlessly functional - just some of the things we have come to associate with Japanese design. It usually begins with just a couple of items - a mug that condemns all previous mugs to a life on the shelf, a ramen bowl that makes you want to cook ramen three times a week - and before long you’ll want your entire kitchen to match.

For this timeless design and products made to last, Made in Japan needs to be on your radar. It’s a small, independent team with a passion for Japanese craftsmanship, and the UK’s leading destination for Japanese tableware and homeware.

Offering an extensive range of over 1,500 items all in stock and shipped directly from its Yorkshire warehouse, it works closely with trusted makers in Japan to curate pieces that combine thoughtful design, everyday function, and enduring quality.

Working directly with skilled makers across Japan to source exceptional products that marry form and function, each item is selected for its design, durability and ability to elevate the everyday whether that’s a ramen bowl, a serving platter or a coffee cup.

From home cooks to Michelin-starred chefs, customers choose MIJ because they want more than just something nice to look at, they want pieces that feel great in the hand, wear beautifully over time, and help create memorable moments out of everyday life.
