Miyao-Toki Factory Sale of Mikasa Dinnerware

Lots of design to choose from

Last month, I got a tip from a Penang expat FB group about a dinnerware factory sale. Apparently, the brand Mikasa houses their factory at Miyao-Toki (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd at Kulim, Kedah.  Since I was on the lookout for bowls, I took note of the weekend sale date and wazed ourselves to the address.

Sale items were actually those that didn't pass quality control (QC).   Tiny speck of black dots, very subtle paint smears, very small chips, minor deformities, etc caused plates/bowls/cups to be on the sale bin.  If not for the red marks around the defect area, it's quite difficult to see why it was tagged 'no good' (NG).  I buy dinnerware for everyday use, not to show it off only during special occasions, so these minor defects do not bother me at all.

I got a a pretty good haul of 5 big bowls (RM10 each) and 6 medium sized bowls (RM5 each).  Sarah chose one cup and saucer for her tea (party) set.  Ravi picked one big mug for himself.  Total cost was slightly over RM90, a fraction of the cost if I buy all those items in a mall!

When we reached home, I googled more about the Mikasa brand.  Their online site showed very expensive prices.  The RM5 bowl I picked up sells $39.99 each or RM177, while the RM10 bowl costs $59.99 or RM265!  Felt really proud of my bargain purchases =)

Next sale weekend is 19-22 May, 2017.  I've informed friends and colleagues about it and some are very interested to visit.  I've listed the factory address below.
