How did you spot it as fake?

this and this give some sure signs.

This bottle meets all the "fake" markers.

I first noticed because the lid seems super wobbly, like it was cheaply made, when these are meant to be quality products

The lid is really loose and moves side to side when open, and it opens when it's locked! I'd heard great things so it put up a big red flag!

I don't think I can buy direct in the UK? I'll have a look and see if I can!

Try going to Asian grocery stores that have a small home / appliance sections. I often see Jojirushis in Korean Hmarts in Canada.

Try Rakuten Global maybe? It gets you a Japanese address and you can shop for anything on Japanese sites, gather your goods there and ship them together to where you live. Sorry I haven’t tried it myself though and can’t tell you how it exactly is.
