Candy Japan

Paused.Paused shipments in 2020 because of COVID-19, and no sources show it has restarted.

What's in the box: When it shipped, a box typically held a small assortment of Japanese candies and snacks picked by the founder and sent directly from Japan.

Candy Japan is not operating normally: it paused shipments in 2020 because of COVID-19, and we found no sources showing that it has restarted. The website at candyjapan.com is still online, but the homepage currently shows only an email validation error, a contact address, and links to its terms of service and privacy policy, with no visible product or signup information. When it was active, Candy Japan was a small, independently run subscription that mailed Japanese candy and snacks from Japan to subscribers in other countries. It was run by founder Bemmu Sepponen, whose email address still appears on the site. Boxes focused on sweets that can be hard to find outside Japan, and the service became known in tech and startup circles partly because its founder wrote openly about running it as a small online business. Because shipments have been paused for years and the site no longer presents a working offer, we cannot recommend subscribing, and nobody should send payment based on old listings or outdated reviews. If you have a past account or questions about a previous order, the contact address shown on the site is the only channel we can confirm. For a current Japanese snack subscription, look for a service that is actively shipping.
