Our Sweet Story
How It Started
Have you ever had a craving for something so specific, a taste so tied to a memory, that nothing else will do?
For us, that taste was the sweet and savory world of Japanese candy and snacks. These treats aren't just food; they're a source of joy, a connection to the Japanese culture, and a way to make any day a little more fun.
The international aisle at the local supermarket just couldn't compare to the real thing.
TRIP TO TOKYO
Surrounded by the vibrant sights and sounds of Tokyo, we were reminded of the incredible variety and creativity of Japanese snacks.
From the fizz of Ramune to the satisfying crunch of senbei, each treat was a miniature work of art, a burst of flavor that sparked instant happiness.
Seeing the smiles on people's faces as they enjoyed these snacks, a powerful idea took root.
A BIG DREAM
Why should these amazing flavors be confined to Japan? Everyone, no matter where they lived, deserved to experience the joy and wonder of authentic Japanese treats.
We decided to bridge the distance, to create a direct line from the heart of Japan to snack lovers around the world.
The journey wasn't always easy. We navigated language barriers, learned about the intricacies of Japanese culture.
DREAM COMES TRUE
It started with a simple website and a passion for sharing a taste of Japan.
We carefully packed each order, imagining the excitement of someone opening a box filled with Pocky, Kit Kats in flavors they've never seen before, and fun DIY candy kits.
Word began to spread, and our small shop grew into a global community of people who share a love for Japanese culture and its delicious treats.
