How to Buy Shokugan (Candy Toys) from Japan

Shokugan — toys packaged with a piece of candy — span surprisingly detailed figures and kits. Here’s how to import them from overseas (candy caveat included).

Quick answer: Shokugan (食玩) are “food toys” sold with a small candy — from figures to mini model kits — often in blind assortments. Use a proxy, and note the candy (food) may be import-restricted, so the toy often ships without it. Buy specific pieces or full sets secondhand to avoid dupes.

What shokugan is

Technically toys sold with a token candy, shokugan include figures, mini kits and detailed collectibles — many high quality and series-based, frequently Japan-only.

The included candy is food and may be restricted to import. Many proxies ship the toy without the candy to comply with rules — the collectible part is unaffected.

Specific vs set

Blind series produce duplicates; buy the specific item or full set from resellers via a proxy.

Shipping & customs

Small and light (minus candy). Total cost = item + (domestic shipping) + proxy fee + international shipping + possible customs.
