Dear Mark Waters,
Thank you for contacting us! We have tried to get in touch with you via email (perhaps it was sent to your spam folder), but your package was returned to us by Japan Post early this week. Unfortunately, due to the new customs rules in effect in the United States as of August 29, 2025, Japan Post is no longer accepting packages destined for the United States. Your package was shipped before this date but because it did not leave Japan prior to the date Japan Post stopped shipping to the US, the package was returned to our warehouse. We are preparing it for shipment via DHL Express, so it should reach you within a week or two if all goes smoothly. You should also receive a confirmation email with your new tracking number as soon as we have shipped it via DHL. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused, but please understand that the decisions of Japan Post and the US government are unfortunately far beyond our control. Please feel free to get in touch with us via email if you have any other questions or concerns!
Greetings from Japan,
The Japanese Food Craftsman Team
