Starting Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Lawson in Japan will release special original merchandise to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the beloved story “Moomin.” The highlight of this release is the “Moomin Strawberry Candy Tin,” featuring an irresistible design with charming autumn and winter scenes.
Moomin was created by Finnish author Tove Jansson, and the stories have captivated many fans in Japan for years through animation. Because of this, limited-edition Moomin goods frequently appear in Japan and are highly popular as collector’s items. This time is no exception, with wonderful products that live up to the expectations.
Get the Heartwarming Candy Tins in Stores
First up are the limited-edition items available for direct purchase at Lawson stores nationwide in Japan (excluding some locations).
Moomin Strawberry Candy Tins (Autumn & Winter)
The main charm of this product is undoubtedly its design. It features the Moomin family in an autumn forest and characters enjoying a winter snowscape, creating a heartwarming feeling just by looking at it. Inside, you’ll find sweet and sour strawberry-flavored candies that are sure to brighten up your snack time.
In Japan, there is a well-established culture of repurposing beautifully designed tins as containers for small items or as interior decor after the contents are finished. This Moomin tin might just become an item that continues to bring a little happiness to your daily life.
The price is 994 yen (tax included), and they will be available starting Tuesday, December 23rd. As quantities are limited, it’s recommended to visit a Lawson store early if you’re interested.

Online Exclusive! A Special Gift Set with Wa-Kocha Tea
For dedicated fans who want “even more special Moomin goods!,” Lawson has also prepared a luxurious online-exclusive gift set.
Moomin Strawberry Candy Tin (Autumn & Winter) + Wa-Kocha Tea Set
This set includes the previously mentioned candy tins paired with a special “Wa-Kocha” (Japanese black tea). The price is 3,280 yen (tax included), and a nice bonus is that the shipping fee is included.
The Special “Wa-Kocha,” Selected by a Historic Shizuoka Shop
The tea included in the set is selected by “Honme Asakichi Shoten,” a tea wholesale manufacturer from Shizuoka Prefecture, known as one of Japan’s leading tea-producing regions. “Wa-Kocha” is a type of black tea made from tea leaves grown in Japanese soil, and it is characterized by a mellow and delicate flavor that differs from black teas from other countries.
The set contains a total of six tea bags, and their packaging is unified with the same Moomin design as the candy tins. During the cold season, why not spend a relaxing time with a warm cup of Wa-Kocha while reflecting on the world of Moomin?
How to Purchase the Online Gift
This special set is available for purchase only through Lawson’s online gift service.
The order period is from Tuesday, December 23rd, to Thursday, January 15th, 2026, with product delivery scheduled for late January. Of course, this is available for residents of Japan, but it might also be possible to obtain it from abroad by using a forwarding service that supports international shipping.
For travelers visiting Japan in the winter, this would make an absolutely wonderful souvenir. For more details, please check the Lawson Online Gift page for purchases (Japanese Link).
Japanese convenience stores, or ‘Konbini’, are not just convenient; they are also epicenters of pop culture, constantly releasing high-quality and attractive limited-edition products like these. Even if you’re not a Moomin fan, we recommend taking this opportunity to search for treasures packed with Japanese “kawaii” culture at your local Lawson.
