Questions

Where in Japan can you deliver this?
Anywhere in Japan. Shipping is ¥1,320 (frozen delivery) and takes 3–6 business days after dispatch.
Can you deliver to my hotel while I am in Japan?
Hotel front desks hold parcels at room temperature, so chilled and frozen items cannot go there. We send those to an address instead.
Can you ship this abroad?
Shipping alcohol out of Japan needs an export licence for liquor wholesalers, which we are still obtaining. Until then we cannot send it abroad.
Does it need refrigeration?
It travels frozen the whole way. Redelivery keeps the cold chain, but please pick a date you can be in for. Chilled and frozen items cannot be sent to a hotel.
Can I change what is in it?
You can swap the sake for the Hibiakari junmai or the ten-year koshu; we will email you about the price difference after you order. The beef can also be changed to the 500g sukiyaki slices.
Can someone under 20 buy or receive it?
No. The set contains alcohol, so both the buyer and the person receiving it must be 20 or over. Age is confirmed at checkout and again on delivery.
Ingredients and allergens?
The beef is beef from Iga and nothing else; the sake is rice and rice koji only. Declarable allergen present: beef. The processing facility also handles wheat, egg, milk and soy.
