About Mikan

Beyond products

Mikan brings Japanese craft and food to Europe, together with the story of who made it and where.

01 — What we believe

Things mean more when you know their story.

Who made it. Where it comes from. What kind of care went into it.

We believe these are what truly make a product worth choosing, and worth keeping.

02 — Why we do it

Too often, only the product crosses borders.

Japan is full of craftsmanship, culture and intention, much of it kept alive by small family workshops.

Yet the story behind their work rarely travels with it, and few small makers can sell abroad on their own.

03 — What we do

From Japanese workshops to European homes.

Our team in Japan finds makers and tells their stories. Our team in Germany brings their work to customers across Europe.

We look after stock and shipping, so makers can start small and grow step by step.

Mikan means "unfinished".

Because we are always evolving, with every product, every story and every connection we create.

From Japan to the world, beyond products.
