Stocking Fillers
Japanese stocking fillers for food lovers
For anyone who loves to cook, a jar of something new is always welcome. Our Wasabi Mustard is made with fresh English wasabi and was awarded 3 Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards. Its warm, clean heat is wonderful with cold meats, cheese and leftover turkey sandwiches on Boxing Day.
Yuzu kosho is another favourite. This punchy paste of fragrant yuzu and fresh chilli brightens soups, noodles and grilled fish with just a dab. For something to sprinkle, our furikake and sesame seeds with wasabi or yuzu add crunch and flavour to rice bowls, salads and roasted vegetables. You’ll find plenty more ideas among our Japanese condiments.
For a sweet tooth, our Yuzu Marmalade, a Great Taste award winner, brings bright, floral citrus to breakfast toast, whilst a bag of candied yuzu peel is a lovely nibble with an after-dinner coffee.
Small Japanese gifts for drinkers and tea lovers
Our own craft spirits come in 5cl bottles that slip neatly into a stocking. Shiso Gin is made with purple shiso grown in Dorset, Wasabi Vodka brings a clean heat that clears quickly, and Sansho Spiced Rum and Yuzucello each have their own bright, aromatic character. They’re a lovely way to discover a new favourite, and you’ll also find full-size bottles in our craft spirits range.
Tea lovers will enjoy a pouch of finely ground matcha, or the Maple Leaf Tea Set, a pretty tin of tea bags and dried maple leaves. Pair either with a handmade Japanese tea cup for a gift they’ll use every day.
Gifts for the table
Chopstick rests are one of the simplest ways to bring a touch of Japan to the dinner table. Choose a graceful origami crane or a smooth Minoyaki pebble with a swirling water design, and add a pair of chopsticks to go with it. For the cook in the family, the Yugeta Shoyu apron is a fun, practical present.
Shopping on a budget? Many of our Japanese stocking fillers cost less than £10, and you’ll find more ideas among our gifts under £10 and gifts from £10 to £30. Every order is packed in fully recyclable packaging, and UK orders over £75 qualify for free delivery.
