Something Japanese operates online and is based in Tokyo, Japan. We sell Japanese snacks, figures and even traditional Japanese products. We’re dedicated to bring you only the very best products from Japan.

For the time being and due to current world events, the best place to get ahold of the latest Japanese snacks is our store.

SomethingJapanese.com was made by avid fans of Japanese candy and pop-culture. The majority of our products are hand picked because we love them! All of our products are purchased from local vendors here in Japan and shipped directly from Tokyo!

You can find all ingredients information for a product in the section under a products images. You can also find information for allergies and dietary requirements in a products description also. If you still have any concerns for whatever reason please feel free to contact us at any time.

Due to the scarcity of some of our products and the increasing difficulty of exporting products internationally due to current would events. We do not offer wholesale/ bulk discounts on our products at this time.

JP POST EMS: A fully track super fast international postal service that arrives at its destination within a week. (Japan  to UK takes between 2-4 business days) (Japan to USA takes between 3 to 5 business days) *not counting any delays due to customs delays*

Why EMS?  Due to recent events regarding the ongoing conflicts around the European Continent shipping options offered by JP Post and other Japanese shipping companies have been heavily restricted. EMS is our only shipping option until world events settle.

Due to the current shipping service we use (JP Post EMS) having such a high initial cost regardless of the size of the parcel. We  found that shipping costs on small orders were far too high. At the moment shipping anything from to Japan to the rest of the world is extremely difficult. But we didn’t want you the customer to miss out on your favourite Japanese snacks and collectables.

The AmaiBox is a monthly subscription service and is dispatched on a schedule every month (usually the 28th of each month), if you’ve placed your order before the 20thth of that month your AmaiBox is being prepared to be send to you. If you have ordered after the 20th of that month it may be sent the following month. if there is an unforeseen delay in dispatching your AmaiBox you will be contacted immediately, this is extremely rare though.

For customers with extreme allergies of nut, soy or other commonly used food ingredients. We don’t recommend ordering this product as it’s often very hard to know if a product has trace levels of a specific ingredient or manufactured in a factory where that ingredient is also used.

If you have ordered the AmaiBox mini or GIGA for either 3 months or 6 months your order cannot be refunded after your first AmaiBox has been dispatched. This is due to the discount saving you’re getting from ordering a multiple month AmaiBox plan, once your first AmaiBox has been dispatched you are obligated to complete your entire subscription.

Our goal is to make every AmaiBox as good or even better then previous boxes so you never need to worry you’re not getting the absolute best snacks Japan has to offer.

Unfortunitly due to to the lack of variety and difficulty to get high quality Japanese snacks that are also suitable for vegans, we don’t offer a vegan box at this time.

The contents of each months AmaiBox will be different. We want you to try as many different Japanese snacks as possible and to get the most variety out of your subscription. Please let us know if you particularly liked an item and we will try including it in future AmaiBox’s.
