This time, we’re introducing the unique “fun erasers” you can buy at DAISO. These miniatures capture Japan’s playful culture and are crafted with such detail they look almost real. Not only are they practical, but they also make wonderful souvenirs to collect.
Fun Erasers from DAISO
Operated by Daiso Sangyo, DAISO offers everything from kitchenware and stationery to hobby goods—all usually priced at just 100 yen. From kitchenware to stationery to hobby goods, DAISO has become a favorite shopping destination in Japan.
And among all these items, you’ll find fun erasers that look just like Japanese food samples! Their cuteness and realism have been catching the attention of visitors from abroad, making them a hot souvenir choice right now.
Even with their incredibly detailed quality, each one costs just 100 yen (plus tax). They’re a fun and affordable way to bring home a piece of Japan’s creativity and craftsmanship.
Now, let’s take a look at the fun erasers I found at DAISO—one by one!
Japanese Food
Among all the fun erasers, the ones that really caught my eye were the Japanese food designs!
The most iconic is, of course, SUSHI—a perfect souvenir from Japan. Even Japanese people would find these adorable. They look so real that they might make you hungry just by looking at them, and the careful craftsmanship truly reflects Japanese attention to detail.
＜Sushi① Tamago & Salmon＞
The soft yellow tamago (egg) and bright orange salmon look just like real sushi. Hard to believe they’re only 100 yen each! Definitely one of the best-value Japanese souvenirs.
They look delicious, don’t they?
＜Sushi② Tuna & Shrimp＞
Even the grains of rice in the shari (sushi rice) are carefully recreated—it’s incredibly realistic!
Each pack includes two pieces—but once you have one, you’ll want to collect them all. Since the lineup may differ depending on the store, if you can’t find the one you want, try checking another DAISO location.
＜SUSHI Set＞
This set includes five items: tuna, shrimp, salmon roe, tamago, and even green tea. Compared to Sushi① and Sushi②, these are slightly smaller and more miniature in style, which makes them even cuter.
The fact that they come on plates or with tea makes them feel even more authentic as sushi.
When you line up Sushi①, Sushi②, and the SUSHI set, here’s what they look like together:
Even though the sizes differ, they look great side by side. A whole table full of sushi erasers—just looking at them makes me happy!
Chinese Food
The fun erasers aren’t limited to Japanese food—you’ll also find Chinese cuisine favorites like ramen and gyoza, both of which are very popular in Japan too.
The “Chinese Food” erasers come in two types: main dishes and dim sum.
My favorite is the gyoza—it looks so real, I almost want to eat it! Even the steamer basket and the delicate dumpling skin are recreated in fine detail, showing the precision and craftsmanship of Japanese design.
Burgers
There are also two different burger-themed eraser sets, and what’s interesting is that the hamburgers are made differently in each.
The Burger Shop set includes fried fish, cheese, and lettuce, while the Hamburger Set features a patty, tomato, and lettuce.
Each piece is made up of separate parts that you can take apart and reassemble—just like the real thing! It’s a playful detail that makes them look delicious enough to eat, and you might even get hungry while playing with them.
Sweets
The parfait actually appears in two different sets, but they’re not identical—so no need to worry about duplicates. The pudding comes in a case, and you can actually take it out. Only the pudding itself is an eraser, which makes it even cuter!
Of course, sweets are always adorable to look at. Donuts and crepes are made from multiple parts, so you can take them apart and put them back together again.
And let’s not forget traditional Japanese sweets, Wagashi!
This set includes taiyaki (fish-shaped cake with filling), dango (sweet dumpling skewers), and green tea. These are uniquely Japanese sweets, making them a perfect souvenir.
When you place them next to the sushi erasers, the Japanese vibe really comes alive—it’s just too cute!
Other Themes
Besides the ones introduced above, there are also drinks and even cute animal-themed erasers.
This set includes milk, orange juice, and grape juice.
Each package is carefully detailed to look just like the real thing. Even the cap of the grape juice is made as an eraser! The milk carton even has Japanese writing on it, giving it that authentic Japanese touch.
There’s also an adorable animal series, which is sure to be a hit with kids and collectors alike.
Do the Fun Erasers Actually Erase?
We know these erasers are cute and fun, but since they are erasers, it’s natural to wonder about their functionality.
Tested with an HB pencil, they erase cleanly without smudging
And yes—they erase perfectly!
The pencil marks were completely gone, and the paper didn’t get smudged. I even used the rice part of a sushi eraser, and it didn’t leave any noticeable dirt on the eraser itself. These erasers truly work as stationery while still being adorable collectibles.
Storage Cases for Fun Erasers Are Also Available at DAISO
You can also find cases to display your cute erasers at DAISO. Special display cases protect them from dirt and are perfect for showcasing them neatly.
DAISO also sells single- and double-tier display cases, plus compact boxes that keep each eraser scratch-free and neatly organized.
Each eraser fits into its own slot, preventing scratches or dirt caused by friction. Lining them up like this even makes storage look cute!
Buying a display or storage case along with your erasers is very convenient.
Fun Erasers: The Perfect Japanese Souvenir
DAISO’s fun erasers make a great souvenir while also perfectly capturing Japan’s charm and creativity—tiny treasures that bring a smile every time you see them.
At just 100 yen (plus tax), they are incredibly realistic and detailed. They’re small and lightweight, so you can pack plenty in your suitcase! Give them to friends or family, and they’re sure to love them.
From sushi and wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) to hamburgers and more, these food-sample-style erasers can actually be used, but even just displaying them brings back wonderful memories of your trip to Japan.
