When we started Shonen Soda, our dream was simple: bring the nostalgic taste of Japanese soda to as many people as possible. Today, that dream took a huge leap forward and now... we're officially in over 150 Daiso stores across the country!
If you’ve ever wandered through the pink aisles of Daiso, you know it’s not just a store, it’s an experience. From quirky gadgets to stationery to snacks, Daiso is Japan’s answer to the modern-day treasure hunt. And now, you’ll find Shonen Soda on those shelves, sitting alongside some of our favorite childhood snacks and treats.
This launch means a lot to us. Daiso has always held a special place in our hearts. It's where we’d go to get that quick hit of Japanese culture when we missed home, or when we just needed a moment of joy. To now be part of that experience for someone else? It’s surreal.
Where You Can Find Us
Most Daiso stores are in the western U.S., California (our home turf), Washington, and Texas. But we’re also stocked in places like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Wisconsin, and even metro areas like New York City and Chicago. Please check out our store locator!
This isn't just about soda. It’s about building a bridge between cultures, one can at a time.
To everyone who’s been supporting us since day one, thank you. If you’re new here, welcome to the story. Japanese-inspired beverages aren’t just a trend. They’re a movement. And we’re honored to be part of it.
