Grape Shop: Delivering to the world

Some of our readers may have already noticed, but in the past few months, we have been introducing unique and high-quality products which are not based on company press releases or other similar public sources. For a long time now, Grape Co., which operates grape Japan and our sister Japanese site Grape, has also run an e-commerce site called Grape Shop.

So then, why the sudden increase in articles introducing Grape Shop items on grape Japan, you may be wondering. That's because we have now partnered with World Shopping to deliver Grape Shop items internationally!

As we explain in every article introducing items from Grape Shop, the original page within Grape Shop is in Japanese, but if you see the World Shopping widget appear at the bottom of the page in your browser, that product can be shipped overseas.

From flatware, plateware and tea bags with cute and whimsical animal designs or traditional Japanese motifs to accessories, stationery and home decoration items highlighting Japanese craftsmanship, to Japanese beauty products and space and time-saving practical items for your home or kitchen, you're sure to find something unique to liven up your life.

Grape Shop items are curated with particular attention to quality, featuring many products made in Japan, so you can rest assured when you make your purchase.
