I've read different answers about origin, Japan/China. Is there a problem with The China origin?

Just looked again, and it still says Japan. The thing works great on leaves and now on snow too. Chuck

Mine was built in Japan. I have more confidence in Japanese products than Chinese products.

I personally prefer Japan.I would not paid that much for the one made in China.

As with so many products, country of origin is China. Unless there are major issues with origin, it is still a good product.

My research indicates that some of the production might take place in China. Best thing to do is look at Webbers website and contact the 800 number to validate.

yeah, I can't find the country of origin on their products, site, catalogs, or the net. I'd email them directly, but my guess is China. Makes sense with little to no labor laws and .15 cent an hour wages.

China. Atleast if you buy it from M.V. trading company it is. Unless anyone else got it from that seller and got a Japan made one. If that's the case then M.V. trading company is unreliable therefore I will never buy from them again. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

Not all packages have country of origin on them. Maxell was bought by Hitachi Electric Co of Japan a long time ago and Hitachi sources from many countries. It is one of the largest electric companies in the world and in Japan competes with Mitsubishi, Sony, Matsushita and similar firms. It is not likely they manufactured in Japan, shipped the product to China and mailed them to the states from there. Cost, time and Chinese import duties would make that a non-starter. Hitachi is a very respected Japanese firm.

The origin place is China. You can actually see it in the product details on the main page, it says that it is Imported(China) The item was manufactured in China, and imported. Hope this answered your question! :)

I wouldn't worry. The Japanese are so particular about the quality of their food! If these came from China, I'd be concerned.

My china, which in my opinion is of poor quality, does not state its place of manufacture. I find that odd. The china is very susceptible to scratching from silverware and requires cleaning with bar keeper's friend. I also find that troubling.

The ad clearly states "Our Organic Matcha, both Culinary and Ceremonial are now sourced directly from Japan." NOT CHINA anymore (as indicated in the first of 28 answers above).

Good question... Hasbro is a USA Company, but they made all his products on China. His quality process are very strictly and very reliables... So, the answer is YES Origin: China.

I rechecked information and found country of origin specified as Italy at http://www.reliablecorporation.com/Products/Home-Tables/The-Board-C60. This should stop inference that country of origin is China. Just bad info by someone who does not investigate fully. The same information is given for the C-30 Board (which my wife has been using for about a year and just loves).

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

Sony is from Japan (Ive driven past their headquarters in japan. However, whether they outsource to other countries like the u.s. does (probably) is beyond me.

Please - China makes everything. If it were made in Japan, the staff would be Chinese.
