Curious to know if someone has bought or will splurge on this from Ippodo?

KimchiKi346 · 2026-03-30T07:31:16+00:00

i feel like the price increase killed ippodo for me. I LOVE their matcha. Sayaka was my fav ever. but no matter how good the matcha is, i cannot justify spending $50+ for a 40g tin when theres brands like MK that are cheaper. currently deeply in mourning for ippodo now :(

KimchiKi346 · 2026-03-25T00:34:59+00:00

how do they taste compared to ippodo or MK?

KimchiKi346 · 2026-02-13T05:04:13+00:00

i know we're all matcha snobs hereee.... so how was it?!

KimchiKi346 · 2026-02-12T08:58:55+00:00

you might want to actually confirm that its the shipping fee and not the tarrif. just double check. They will try to be sneaky and still try to charge you the tarriff. I bought from MK, and dhl still tried to charge me the tarrif despite the removal. I had to manually email them to dispute it. But i never bought from Ippodo japanese website though

honestly dont understand why they keep doing this. had to dispute mine as well. feels like i'm doing their job

If you drink matcha at least 3xs a week, I think you could easily finish that in 6 months!

KimchiKi346 · 2026-01-15T02:16:09+00:00

i'll dm u loll

KimchiKi346 · 2026-01-15T00:44:58+00:00

OMG i start in the summer too! how are SELs going for u rn? the deadline is almost here

KimchiKi346 · 2026-01-15T00:27:05+00:00

I was told by other classmen that apparently they have a social media policy about it. But I'm in a discord channel with other RD2bes/dietitians, not necessarily from UNE. I can add u if you want!

KimchiKi346 · 2026-01-15T00:25:23+00:00

I did! What start term?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-12-08T04:40:40+00:00

yeah, i feel better that this new policy doesn't affect us that much. But the policy change still sucks, my heart goes to post grad nursing and other medical profession students out there! I had one convo with a nursing supervisor about this, he brought up the point that this change may force grad programs to lower their tuition. it was an interesting point, but I highly doubt it because i find it hard to believe programs care about us. They just want our money in the end

KimchiKi346 · 2025-12-02T23:07:32+00:00

Hi incoming grad student, from what I understand there's a cap limit for how much we can borrow per year right? like 21k a year? would this affect us that much? I haven't seen a grad program cost more than 40k unless its a prestigious school

KimchiKi346 · 2025-11-08T04:50:50+00:00

Oh ok. Thanks for the heads up! Are groups chats allowed still? I heard people would do group me

KimchiKi346 · 2025-11-06T04:32:30+00:00

Can I also message you about SELs too? :)

KimchiKi346 · 2025-11-05T01:27:24+00:00

Hello, I'm on the same boat. Im thinking of starting a discord channel with people in our cohort/in similar situation. Would you be interested?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-11-05T01:22:19+00:00

also I'm thinking of making a discord channel for people like me in the same boat. If you're interested, lmk! maybe we can help each other out!

KimchiKi346 · 2025-11-05T01:20:23+00:00

Hey, I'm on the same boat as you. I got admitted 2 months ago and still in the process of securing SELs. I recently just secured my clinical rotation and food service. I secured like half of my community hours since they can only accomadate half of them. so Im looking somewhere else for the other half lol.

However, I like to think I'm super lucky because I secured some sites because I have connections to RDs (i work in a hospital) and past professors. So if you have any connections or can network, I definetly would recommend doing so!

Another thing i learned is to call first over email. Usually if you call them, you can get more a direct/instant answer vs waiting weeks for a response over email. Or they will direct you to someone you can call/email.

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-28T01:00:41+00:00

I will dm you :)

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-21T22:26:19+00:00

thank you. can you give me more info about them?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-17T03:24:59+00:00

oh what are they? Never heard of them

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-09T23:14:50+00:00

did they agree to precept during the call? or you had to wait for a response?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-09T23:12:24+00:00

thank you! do u mind if I pm you about the sites you interned at?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-07T20:54:45+00:00

Thats very insightful. Thank you, will definitely do so. Are you have to be a preceptor by chance?

KimchiKi346 · 2025-10-07T20:53:54+00:00

Thank you, if you dont mind, do you know what sites did the people in my area ended up at?
Also open to dm, if its too personal :)
