FAQ

Is SHIOKURI BOX shipping free?

Yes, the shipping cost is already included in the plan's price, so the total at checkout will not change!

Why can we only buy the SHIOKURI Box from the 1st to the 25th of each month?

Our service uses an on-demand system. This ensure we provide fresh food items without wasting products.

From the 26st to the end of each month, we pause orders for the SHIOKURI Box to focus on packing and shipping. Our SHIOKURI Box services reopens on the 1st of each month.

If you are trying to make a one-time purchase or subscribe during the period where we don’t accept orders, please subscribe to our email list. We will notify you by email when orders resume.

When will the SHIOKURI Box arrive?

We prepare packaging and shipping from the 26st to the 28th of each month, regardless of whether you have a one-time purchase or a subscription. Delivery typically takes 2 to 5 days after dispatch, so your box should arrive in the first few days of each month.

You can always find the tracking number and check the status of your shipment by logging into your My Account page on our website.

In which countries can the SHIOKURI Box be purchased?

It is currently available only in the United States. However, Ask Japan Locals allows purchases from all over the world, not just the U.S.

What should I do if I have allergies?

Each product inside the SHIOKURI Box has a label in English with allergy information. Please check each product’s label before consuming it.
