Buying interesting Japanese snacks and food is no easy task when you live outside of Asia, and so we’ve decided to put a list together for different websites you can buy or subscribe to. Hopefully, you will find these related to your interests in Japanese culture. We’ve searched the web high and low, searching for the best places to shop for Japanese snacks online. Every site we have listed ships anywhere in the world, so let’s check them out.
Japan Fun Box
Japan Fun Box is a snack box subscription service that is based in Japan and each box includes a hefty variety of snacks from Japanese crisps, biscuits, ramen to other really obscure items we’ve never heard of. The amazing thing about Japan Fun Box is that they label and describe everything in great detail on the blog and also a downloadable PDF each month.
There’s three sizes you can pick from; the “mini” box is great for the curious minded to find new snacks, the “original” is perfect for snacking on through the week and also as a gift, and the biggest one “family”. The original and family box includes special items which could be a Japanese toy, gachapon toy, special DIY, drink, adult candy and also premium quality noodles (ramen, udon, soba, and yakisoba etc). You can cancel the subscription easily using our site which is perfect for one-off orders. Check out the site for more details.

Japan Candy Box
Japan Candy Box is a subscription service for boxes filled with a carefully selected mix of quirky Japanese snacks and sweets.

This sounds great for people trying to find something new to try. The 1-month plan can be canceled anytime so you can send one to yourself to try before subscribing for the long run.
