Everyone loves Japanese snacks! Many foreign tourists enjoy shopping and eating during their trips to Japan, and MUJI’s selection is a top choice for travelers. They are high-quality, uniquely Japanese, and exactly what you want for souvenirs. In 2026, MUJI has updated its lineup and shopping experience, making it even better for international visitors.
What makes MUJI snacks so exciting?
Among many kinds of Japanese snacks, MUJI offers something truly different for souvenirs.
Sustainable Quality: The popular “Irregular” (Fuzoroi) series minimizes food waste by selling unevenly shaped but delicious snacks.
Interactive Shopping: Flagship stores now offer frozen foods and even fresh-made local treats.
Minimalist Packaging: Clear packaging makes it easier to see and choose your favorite snacks.
Modern Tax-Free Rules: As of November 1, 2026, Japan is shifting to a refund-based tax system. While you pay the tax in-store, you can now open and enjoy your snacks in Japan, as the strict “sealed bag” rule for consumables is being removed!
