You can find the low-hanging of the Japanese pop snacks (Pocky, Yan-yan, Koala's March) at any Asian market in a top 100 major US city; but you won't find, for example, limited edition Soda flavored Kit Kats or Meiji Wintertime Fuwafuwa chocolate or anything crazy cool like that.

That's where a service like this would shine, I reckon.




Are there candies sold only in Japan that I can't find here?

Last time I visited Tokyo I couldn't really see a difference (then again, I'm not exactly a candy coinesseur).


Dunno, I haven't been in a candy shop in the US in a long time. Do you have choco-mochi?


There are lots of seasonal and limited edition candies in Japan that I think is difficult to find elsewhere.
