Qrie Wins Rakuten Shop of the Year Computers & Peripherals Prize

— Back-to-back recognition in a highly competitive electronics category and fifth overall Shop of the Year honor —

 Qrie Ltd. announced today that its Rakuten Ichiba store, Ink Chips, has received the “Computers & Peripherals Category Prize” at the Rakuten Shop of the Year 2025 awards.

Rakuten Shop of the Year is an annual program hosted by Rakuten Group, Inc. that recognizes outstanding stores among more than 50,000 merchants on Rakuten Ichiba, one of Japan’s largest e-commerce marketplaces. Winners are selected through a comprehensive evaluation that includes customer voting as well as performance indicators such as order volume and sales growth. The 2025 awards marked the 28th edition of the program.

Ink Chips earned this category prize for the second consecutive year, following its recognition in 2024. Achieving back-to-back wins in the electronics segment—where competition is especially intense—is uncommon, making this recognition particularly meaningful. In addition, Qrie has now received Rakuten Shop of the Year honors five times in total—an achievement reached by only a limited number of stores across the marketplace.

Qrie views this award not as the result of short-term campaigns, but as recognition of consistent operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement over time. The award underscores the long-term trust customers place in Ink Chips and its commitment to delivering a reliable shopping experience.

“We are deeply grateful to our customers who continue to support us, as well as to the manufacturers who provide outstanding products, our trusted partners who help sustain daily operations, and above all, our employees who work hard every day,” said Koichi Yoshizuka, Founder & CEO of Qrie Ltd.

Qrie remains committed to providing customers with high-quality products and service, while continuing to enhance the shopping experience on Rakuten Ichiba.
