If your loved ones' love language is food, you've come to the right place (because that's OUR love language too).

Whether it's a surprise treat or something that you can bring along to any potluck, we've shortlisted these gift options that have been sure hits throughout the years!

1. Braided Miwa Somen 

A Zairyo exclusive from a small Somen maker in Nara, Japan. These are one of the best Somen we've tried, so they're not just all looks!

2. Zairyo's Best-selling Side Dishes

We may be best known for Uni, but the ones that get the most word-of-mouth are our side dishes. Just thaw and serve! There's something for everybody.

3. Uni

An obvious pick on our site. We've got the regular ones that we can make special with a card 

or get these special editions that come in limited quantities (based on availability at Toyosu Auction).

4. Zairyo's Daifuku Mochi

Our Daifuku Mochis have been gaining a lot of attention since last year and for good reason -- it's quality you can taste. Be sure to thaw them before serving so they are soft and chewy~

5. Whiskey and Gin from Kyoto

The fabric on the bottles are removable! They're a traditional craft known as Nishijin-ori was used to produce the fabric label. This craft originated in the city of Kyoto.

These are our favourite items to bring to a dinner party because they're not only beautiful, they're darn tasty too!
