Frequently Asked Questions

Now that you’re feeling literally and virtually like a kid in a Japanese candy store, you might have a few questions before you load up your cart.

What’s special about Japanese candy?

Japanese candy is a delightful arrangement of traditional sweets, from nostalgic dagashi to treats that blend Western-type candies like gummies, chocolate bars, and cookies with traditional and even anime elements. Japanese candy is generally known for being mildly sweet and always celebrated for being incredibly creative and fun.

How do I know if it’s authentic?

Plaza Japan only sources from and partners with other Japanese companies, which means that you can trust that what you are ordering is exactly what you could find off a Japanese candy store shelf or special boutique in Japan, with the only difference that it is shipped straight to your door.

But you’re shipping food products from Japan! Will that be tricky with customs?

We take great effort in our products and shipping methods to ensure that your product will arrive at your door as efficiently and quickly as possible. Ordering Japanese candy online through Plaza Japan means taking the guesswork out of customs and international shipping, so you can focus on the fact that it’s already tomorrow in Japan, but tomorrow can’t come soon enough for your treats.
