Do you like this set? Take a look at the cup, bowl and tea pot.Have you checked out new Hakoya boxes & chopsticks caps?We couldn't import as many as we ordered from Hakoya, which means they are selling them out and will probably not manufacture any more. Again we are offering great prices on these boxes you cannot find anywhere else!Bio Keeper Containers are food containers our buyer highly

Read about a really "cool" lunch box in Japanese news over the weekend.Gel Cool (only in Japanese) is a bento box product line that has gel ice inside a lid. You simply freeze the lid over night and it will keep the boxed meal evenly nice and chilly for 3-4 hours under an 80F degree environment.If any of you has a friend/family member in Japan or is planning on visiting Japan, you can purchase

Some frequently asked questions:#1: What happened to Clickety Click?As announced several times before, Clickety Click has ceased and the TomoTomo line has replaced CC.Due to its discontinued status, we are no longer able to import CC.What's up with the inconsistent animal designs of TomoBoy and Girl?

Made Thai Clear Noodle Salad! I used shrimps, one shalott and cilantro. Looks good, doesn't it?It was very easy and took only 10 minutes. The lemony salad sauce contains fish sauce, but it didn't taste or smell much fish sauce. My husband is not a fan of fish sauce, but he didn't complain about detecting it in the salad. Rather he was surprised that it was spicier than it looked. If you

Bath salts with capsaicin, an active heat-producing component of chili peppers, are our newest additions to the growing Japanese Bath Salts category.The rather radical Japanese product names suggest that these bath salts create an intense heat and burning sensation, so we were very intrigued by the products. We also wanted to make sure product safety before selling them to our loyal customers.

Children's Day falls on Tuesday, May 5 in Japan.This holiday is part of the "Golden Week," a period of several successive national holidays. People commonly take the entire week off and go on vacations. Children's Day is a holiday to celebrate children's well-being and happiness.The name Children's Day is misleading, though, as this is a day for boys celebrated with carp kites and the traditional

Hakoya is the brand by Tatsumiya Shikki (Japanese-only).Tatsumiya is a lacquer ware manufacturer located in northern Japan.While they've become well known for high end lunch boxes since 1991, they do produce other lacquered products, such as 2-tier Jyubako Boxes and Shokado Bento Box available at our store.Hakoya 2-tier boxes have inner lids that close tight and prevent leaks.In addition to

Just wanted to assure you that inexpensive items will not disappear from our store. :)We decided to import high end Hakoya lunch boxes because those boxes are highly popular in Japan and perfect for someone who are interested in boxes of better quality than $1 ones.Since most of our items are priced between $1 and $3, anything more than $5 stands out and looks expensive.

It's not the best timing to close business temporarily, but the online store had to be offline due to warehouse reorganization that has affected web operations.

We made real takoyaki balls and waffle balls using takoyaki pan. We actually did half of this a few weeks ago and procrastinated completing everything until now...Since octopus isn't everyone's favorite, we wanted to create fluffy balls out of waffle mix.(The lighting for photos are not so great and consistent as cooking was done in our own kitchen.)========================================Wisdom

We started seeing very large images at random on our web store on Wednesday, although the image setting had been kept the same since the store opened in last April. We haven't utilized any irregular digital camera features, either.Initially the problem was only seen in some of the new items. We immediately contacted the tech support and a support person asked us to change the setting a bit,

We use crumpled brown paper and styrofoam peanuts as void fillings and cushioning.Brown paper is our preferred material because it's environmentally more friendly and easier for you to clean up when opening packages.Then why do you occasionally receive packages full of peanuts from us?Our vendor of cosmetic items delivers products using tons of peanuts.

The "remove out of stock items from the web store" function worked fine for several days. Then the setting started acting up and stopped displaying items in the associated product categories when we replenished out of stock items on Friday.Initially we thought the server needed some time to catch up with all the updates, but in a long story short, we are back to the "not accept back orders and

All of sudden the "out of stock" message display disappeared from our web store last Thursday or Friday (we noticed it on Friday). If you placed an out of stock item in the cart, the system showed a message in red and didn't allow you to buy it, but we could foresee every customer's frustration.Since our service provider could not give us any solution on Friday, the system was set to turn off

When we took a poll in April, we received fairly overwhelming responses from you. We did go through many catalogs from Japanese vendors to look for affordable thermal lunch box sets which would be comparable to, but not as expensive as Zojirushi ones.Unfortunately, thermal lunch sets we found appeared too small for adults. That's why we haven't offered any thermal sets.We will keep it in mind,

To the best of our knowledge, no food sold at Ichiban Kan (both retail locations and online) has been found to contain melamine.However, Koala Cookies (aka Koala's March) manufactured in Japan were cleared from the shelves as a precaution after Chinese authorities detected melamine in Koala's March made in China.Our staff in charge of food will continue to keep tabs on this issue and ensure that

If you are not a big fan of paper food cups, Extra-tight Food Containers R 4P and S 4P are sturdier alternatives. These plastic containers are small enough to fit inside bento boxes with covers.
