From whiskey glasses designed by a world-renowned Japanese designer to natural fragrances made from Hiba wood, our collection is full of meaningful pieces Dad will actually love (and use).
Here are our top picks for Japanese Father’s Day gifts that are guaranteed to make him smile.
1. Makoto Komatsu Frosted Whiskey Glass – A classic Father’s Day gift
When it comes to gifts for men, the Makoto Komatsu Frosted Whiskey Glass is one of our most popular. Designed by Japanese artist Makoto Komatsu, this glass features his signature crinkle-like texture, making it tactile, elegant, and unlike anything else Dad already owns. Perfect for enjoying Japanese whiskey neat, or on the rocks, it’s a gift that pairs beauty with function (pair it with a bottle of Japanese whiskey and you’re guaranteed a gift he’ll never forget).
2. Hiba Wood Chopsticks – Perfect for larger hands
Practical yet refined, our Hiba Wood Chopsticks are an excellent gift for dads who love Japanese food. Crafted from Aomori Hiba wood, these chopsticks are slightly thicker than standard, making them especially comfortable for larger hands. The hand-carved notches fit perfectly in the hand. Plus, the natural antibacterial properties of Hiba wood make them not only beautiful but hygienic and easy to care for too.
3. Hiba Wood Fragrance Roller – A masculine, earthy scent
For the dad who appreciates subtle, natural fragrances, the Hiba Wood Fragrance Roller is a perfect everyday essential. With its warm, woody notes, a little of this fragrance goes a long way. This pocket-sized fragrance is calming yet grounding, making it a thoughtful and practical Father’s Day gift.
4. Hiba Wood Candle – A warm and masculine aroma
Bring the same grounding fragrance into the home with the Hiba Wood Candle. Its earthy, masculine aroma creates a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a long day. Plus, the natural materials and clean design mean it looks as good as it smells.
