Here are our top 10 gifts from Japan to give your friends and family. Although I love Japanese senbei (rice crackers), wagashi (Japanese sweets), Matcha and Origami I know my family and friends do not want to receive those items for their holiday gifts anymore. The gifts below are all Japan made and items that can be used every day in Japan or overseas. All recommended gifts are available to ship today from Amazon Japan.
