Start Here — Three Ways In

Three ways in: a single bottle, a complete first dinner, or a full pantry — all shipped straight from the makers in Japan.

One bottle

Tsuru Bishio · $34

Four years in cedar barrels, on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea. One drop over sashimi, cold tofu, or even vanilla ice cream — the single easiest way to taste what we mean.

Gentle Umami Table Set — dashi, barrel-aged soy sauce, and soba

One dinner

Gentle Umami Table Set · $58

Dashi from Kyoto, barrel-aged soy from Shodoshima, buckwheat soba from Tokushima — a complete first dinner in one box, ready the night it arrives.

Japanese Pantry Starter Kit — soy sauce, dashi, miso, rice vinegar, and shichimi

One pantry

Japanese Pantry Starter Kit · $79

Soy sauce, dashi, miso, rice vinegar, and one spice from five family producers — everything a first Japanese kitchen actually needs, in one box.

Shipping from Japan, explained

International shipping is based on the packed weight of your order, not the number of items. That means adding a carefully chosen extra can sometimes cost nothing more in shipping — because it stays in the same weight band as what you already have in your cart.

Example order	Packed weight	Estimated US shipping
One Bottle (Tsuru Bishio)	1.00 kg	about $43
One Dinner (Gentle Umami Table Set)	1.35 kg	about $49
Gentle Umami Table Set + Tsuru Bishio	2.35 kg	about $49 — same band as the set alone
One Pantry (Starter Kit)	1.90 kg	about $49

These are estimates in USD at today's exchange rate, based on current packed weights — not a fixed price. Your cart calculates the exact shipping cost for your address before you check out.
