Beware of fake websites and social media accounts

Important 2023.01.18 (Last updated: 2023.01.19)

We have confirmed the existence of several fake websites (fraudulent websites) and fake SNS accounts that pose as our store by stealing information such as our product images, wording, and company name without permission, or by using the same or similar name as our store. We have actually received inquiries from customers about these sites.

Please be aware that these "fake websites" and "fake SNS accounts" have absolutely no connection to our store, so please refrain from placing orders, making transfers, or exchanging personal information with them.

*We are not responsible for any troubles that may arise between customers and "fake sites" or "fake SNS accounts."
