Review on 🍵 Matcha Bowl - Kaneta Tenmokunagashi Matcha Chawan (Standard) by Lucia Ingalls

This is my second matcha mug. My first lasted almost a year, I dropped it in the sink while washing and it cracked. The first was definitely real. It also came boxed. However, this one I just received is similar to my first one. I knew immediately that it was some kind of copy. Came in a matte green box, cheap, no paper, the lid was open. Luckily it didn't break. Looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff. We argue to go or not. If I had known it was from Japan and not China I would have kept it, but you just don't know. Lead certainly comes to mind. If you order this I hope you will receive the original like my first one. If it arrives in a dull green box that just sits there with no protective paper, then I can tell you that you haven't received an A+ item. Whether I return it or not, I assure you that I will not risk ordering another one.
