This year, recipients from all over Japan were selected to showcase their artisanally crafted products with a focus on the spirit of omotenashi, the Japanese spirit of selfless hospitality and dedicated craftsmanship. The OMOTENASHI Selection is a curated list that highlights the highest-quality products and services offered by Japanese companies that best represent the spirit of Japan’s culture of omotenashi.

We always love hearing about all of the products that make the cut and picking up some for our own homes, and we hope you’re just as excited and ready to find out what fantastic awards and winners OMOTENASHI Selection has in store for us for 2025!
