The small rituals of daily life, your morning coffee, a quick lunch, or that rare dinner you actually have time to linger over deserve things made with care. The pieces you use every day can change how those moments feel. And when they also happen to look beautiful on the table, all the better.

That’s what Made in Japan UK is all about. From their base in Yorkshire, they bring the craftsmanship and quiet beauty of Japan to homes and restaurants across the UK. Every piece is sourced directly from family-run makers in Japan thoughtfully designed, built to last, and made to matter.

With over 1,500 pieces in stock from ramen bowls and side plates to incense burners and chopstick rests it’s no surprise their tableware is found in Michelin-starred restaurants and the homes of design lovers alike.

To celebrate the art of everyday dining, we’ve teamed up with Made in Japan UK to give one lucky Foodism reader a beautiful bundle worth over £250. Inside you’ll find ramen bowls, plates, mugs, chopsticks, a traditional tempura pan, a Japanese cookbook, and even a furoshiki wrap - everything you need to cook, eat, and enjoy every meal in style.

Want in? Of course you do. Enter now, then head to mij.co.uk to explore the full collection.
