Your questions, answered

The basics

No. You send the gift to their email address, and they choose where it ships when they claim it. You never have to ask.


Never. A gift is a single payment for a set number of shipments — one, two or four. When the last one arrives, that is the end of it. Nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel, and neither of you is charged again.


A Sake Flight is a single delivery of three 300 ml bottles plus tasting tools that vary by flight. See each gift for what’s included.

A Palate Discovery Project gift is three bottles per box (six with Complete Discovery), with one box every three months, for one, two or four boxes.


Your recipient gets the gift email straight away, or on a date you choose when you add the gift to your cart. Once they claim it, the first box ships within a few days.


Shipping and the legal bits

This is alcohol, so someone 21 or over has to sign for the delivery — it cannot be left at the door. Your recipient chooses the address themselves, so they can send it somewhere they will actually be.


Within the U.S. only. We can’t ship to Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi or Utah. Please make sure your recipient lives in another state before you send a gift.


Yes. What you pay covers every shipment in the gift. Your recipient is never asked for a payment method.


If something goes wrong

The gift does not expire. We remind them, and if it is still unclaimed we let you know too, so you can check we have the right email address.


Reply to your order confirmation and we will fix it, as long as they have not claimed the gift yet.
