Sourced from 21 Faire wholesalers · Stocked by Mandarin Gifts, retailing in Michigan since 2012

A family store's love letter to the dagashi shelf

Dagashi District is by Mandarin Gifts of Kalamazoo, Michigan — a family retail business that has been stocking shelves since 2012. Dagashi are the everyday candies of Japan: the ten-yen treasures, gummies, mochi and ramune that fill a Tokyo snack shop. We built the District so Michigan snack hunters don't need a plane ticket — just a trip to the candy shelf.
