Japanese DIY candy kits: a quick guide
Japanese DIY candy kits (called chiiku gashi, "educational sweets", in Japan) are small boxes of powders, trays and moulds that you mix with water to make tiny sushi, burgers, doughnuts, gummies and color-changing candy. They come from Japanese confectioners such as Kracie, Bandai and Meiji, and are sold in supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan. We buy them in Tokyo and post them to you.
Which kit should I start with?
- First kit ever: the Popin' Cookin' Hamburger Set or Nerunerunerune Grape. Two easy places to start.
- No microwave: most kits only need water. See which ones.
- For a group or party: the DIY Gummy Lab Set (7 kits) gives everyone a different kit.
- Still not sure: the best Popin' Cookin' kits for beginners.
What age are they for?
The boxes are written for Japanese children, but the steps depend on the kit. Some are pour-and-stir, others need careful cutting and piping. What age is Popin' Cookin' for?
Are the instructions in English?
The boxes are in Japanese. We publish free, step-by-step English instructions for every kit on our site.
What about ingredients and allergies?
Each product page lists the allergens printed on the Japanese label. More detail: are they safe to eat? · vegetarian · gluten-free · halal and gelatin · shelf life.
How is shipping calculated?
Every kit is posted from our shop in Tokyo by tracked airmail. Half-price shipping on orders of $25 or more, free shipping on $100 or more. Delivery usually takes 1–4 weeks. US orders ship duties-paid.
