Beware of counterfeits Yamatomichi products (Updated: March 17th, 2025)
Hey everyone,
Thanks as always for your support and love for Yamatomichi!
We wanted to share a quick update on the counterfeit product situation. Since our last announcement, so many of you have reached out with helpful information—we really appreciate it!
Unfortunately, we’ve spotted more imitation products out there, and our team is working hard to address the issue. These counterfeits are still popping up on online marketplaces and auctions, and they often don’t meet our quality standards (and might not be safe to use).
Keep an eye out when shopping. And as always, thanks for being part of this journey with us!
