Ochinity lays out mail-order Japanese food products in one consistent format. What matters most to us is that every product page shows the same points, in the same order.
What this site does
- We check the same five points, in the same order, for every product: portion size / storage and shelf life / ingredients and allergen labelling / suitability as a gift / what reviews tend to say
- Every article states where the information came from and the date it was collected
- Where the maker does not publish something, we write “not confirmed” rather than fill it in by guesswork
What this site does not do
- We do not buy or taste the products we cover, so we do not rate flavour
- We do not use unsupported superlatives such as “the best in Japan” or “guaranteed delicious”
- We do not certify halal, kosher or vegan status
Where the information comes from
- Product specifications (portion size, origin, storage, best-before date, shipping method): the maker’s official website
- Reviews: Min-hyo, Rakuten Ichiba product reviews, and comparison media. When we quote, we write “reviews say that…” and name the source site and the date we read it
About prices
Prices change often, so we do not publish them in articles. Please check the purchase page.
About advertising
Articles on this site contain PR and affiliate links. If a product is bought through one of them, we may receive a commission from the seller. Whether a commission exists does not affect which products we cover, or the order in which they appear.
About the accuracy of what we publish
What we publish reflects the information-collection date stated in each article, and the maker may change it afterwards. If food allergies or dietary restrictions affect your health, always check the latest labelling on the maker’s site or the purchase page.
