Japanese convenience store snacks have been transformed into hyper-realistic stationery items by stationery maker King Jim. Their new Jim Mart lineup brings a playful twist to everyday desk supplies, turning rice ball packets into onigiri erasers and clips. These edible snacks come wrapped in realistic pull-strip packaging that, when opened, reveals a reusable rice-ball-shaped case containing two erasers or clips, each priced at 650 yen (approximately $4.10) excluding tax.
The collection also includes Onigiri Letters, featuring onigiri-shaped envelopes with clear perforations, styled after authentic package labels. Recipients can enjoy the experience of peeling open the snack to read a message, with each set containing two cards, envelopes, and stickers for 540 yen (excluding tax). Additionally, Hot Snack Card and Envelope Sets mimic real hot snack bags, with four tasty styles including fried chicken, corn dog, karaage, and French fries, available for 540 yen each.
These edible stationery items are available in eight total varieties, capturing the essence of Japanese convenience stores' quality, variety, and satisfying packaging. The Jim Mart collection serves as an ideal gift or souvenir for those looking to experience a taste of Japanese culture or brighten up their study desk. The entire lineup is available for purchase through King Jim's online store.
