The Japanese are famous for being highly inventive with technology, and the same goes for their sweets.
Japanese sweets ( known as wagashi) are a real delight if you're passionate about candy. They not only look wonderfully intriguing, but offer all kinds of exciting flavours and textures. These are sweets which are both artistic and attractive.
From iconic chewy mochi to their unusual KitKat flavours, there’s something utterly captivating about Japanese confectionery.
Whether you have a special event or simply want to sample Japanese candy, our online shop means you can easily order popular favourites in the UK. Along with specialising in American candy, we also offer treats from all over the world.
What Makes Japanese Sweets So Unique?
Japanese sweets aren’t just about indulgence, they’re a result of a unique culture.
They look amazing at all types of events because they’re so beautifully presented. Wagashi, for instance, is traditionally handmade to reflect the seasons, with shapes inspired by flowers, leaves, and nature in general.
Even mass-produced snacks, like Pocky or Hello Panda, come in vibrant packaging that’s almost too gorgeous to open.
Discover Innovative Flavours
You won’t find such unique flavours in candy from any other country. From green tea to cherry blossom and sweet potato paired with chocolate, you can try sweets which are surprisingly tasty.
Whether you’re into delicate matcha or bold wasabi KitKats, there’s always a new flavour to try.

Must-Try Japanese Sweets
If you’re new to Japanese confectionery or just looking for inspiration, here are some top picks from the **CandyMail UK collection**:
- Matcha KitKat
These are true icons! These KitKats are infused with real matcha (green tea) powder, giving them a delicate, earthy flavour that’s surprisingly addictive. Although Halloween is over, we also have apple pie flavoured KitKats.
- Hello Panda Biscuits
These cute, crunchy biscuits come filled with creamy chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla. They’re fun, delicious, and perfect for snacking on the go.
These wafer-thin, chocolate-coated biscuit sticks come in a dizzying array of flavours. From classic chocolate to strawberry, and even unusual options like almond or melon, Pocky is a great introduction to Japanese sweets.
- Mochi
Chewy, soft, and oh-so-satisfying, mochi is a Japanese dessert staple. Try flavours like red bean, taro, or matcha for a traditional experience, or opt for something fruity like mango.
- Wasabi KitKat
Feeling adventurous? These KitKats combine creamy sweetness with a hint of spicy wasabi. It’s the perfect snack for those who like to try something out of the ordinary.
- Ramune Candy
Inspired by Japan’s iconic fizzy drink, these candies are tangy, sweet, and effervescent. They dissolve in your mouth like magic.
- Dars Chocolate
Smooth, rich, and decadent, Dars chocolate is a popular premium treat in Japan. It’s like a posh version of your regular chocolate bar.
- Shrimp Crackers
Okay, these aren’t sweet, but they’re too good to leave out! These savoury snacks are light, crispy, and utterly moreish.
- Yokan
For a more traditional option, try yokan—a firm, jelly-like sweet made from red bean paste. It’s less sugary than Western sweets and pairs beautifully with tea.
- Calbee Potato Chips
Although they’re technically not sweets, these quirky crisps are real favourites for a reason, coming in flavours like seaweed, soy sauce, or butter.
