About JapanBargain
Founded in 2003, JapanBargain began as a small retail store and Japanese restaurant in Northern California. In those early years, we worked closely with chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks — learning firsthand what makes a product truly reliable and timeless. That experience shaped who we are today.
Over the past two decades, we’ve built strong, lasting relationships with restaurant partners who have been shopping with us for more than 20 years. Many of them continue to trust JapanBargain to supply their businesses with dependable, high-quality restaurant essentials. As our community grew, we evolved from a local shop into a trusted online destination, serving restaurants and homes across the United States.
What Makes Us Different
We understand the challenges restaurant owners face — from finding consistent quality and reliable restocking, to balancing beauty and practicality in tableware. That’s why we hand-select our collections to meet the standards of professional kitchens and hospitality settings. Our popular restaurant items include bamboo sushi rolling mats, sushi serving boats, melamine tableware, soup spoons, sauce dishes, and even decorative green sushi grass dividers — small but essential details that bring every Japanese dish to life.
At JapanBargain, we specialize in a wide range of Japanese-inspired products. Many of our items are Made in Japan, such as our sushi-making kits, porcelain dinnerware, and handcrafted pieces like Kutani Yaki Ware (九谷焼) and Mino Yaki Ware (美濃焼) — known for their rich tradition and craftsmanship.
We also offer high-quality goods from other trusted Asian manufacturers, chosen for their durability, design, and value — so you can find everything you need in one reliable place.
From Kitchens to Dining Tables
We understand what professionals need: consistency, durability, and authentic presentation. That’s why we carefully curate products that meet the daily demands of restaurant kitchens — from bamboo sushi rolling mats, sushi serving boats, and green sushi grass dividers, to melamine tableware, soup spoons, and sauce dishes.
Each item is chosen for its functionality, beauty, and long-lasting value, helping chefs create dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious.
A Blend of Tradition and Everyday Use
Our collections bring together both Japanese craftsmanship and practical design. Many of our products are Made in Japan, including sushi-making kits, porcelain tableware, and handcrafted pieces such as Kutani Yaki Ware (九谷焼) and Mino Yaki Ware (美濃焼) — each known for its artistry and rich heritage.
We also source select items from other trusted Asian manufacturers who share our commitment to quality, ensuring we can offer a full range of Japanese-style products at accessible prices.
For Home, Restaurant, and Beyond
Beyond restaurants, JapanBargain serves those who wish to bring a touch of Japan into their everyday lives.

Whether it’s for a tea ceremony, a cozy dinner at home, or restaurant table service, our products add authenticity and calm beauty to every setting.
