After a long-anticipated wait, Japan’s Don Don Donki has finally opened its Lot 10 outlet to eager shoppers looking to score fresh goods imported from the Land of The Rising Sun.
But, if you have seen photos or have actually been there recently, then you’d know about the snaking queues taking place, all the way from the entrance of Don Don Donki Malaysia to the outside of Lot 10. We heard that some had to wait up to two hours just to get in!
Here’s the good news: You can now shop safely and comfortably from home or anywhere else through Don Don Donki Malaysia’s Shopee store! The digital outpost serves as a one-stop-shop for exclusive Japanese goods, sourced and imported exclusively by the company. Here are some of the items you can get from there right now.

Beverages
Mitsui Nourin Nitto Royal Milk Tea
Made with handpicked black tea leaves and Hokkaido milk, this fragrant concoction is a delicious beverage that promises a rich and satisfying taste, perfect for afternoon tea or breakfast. It’s packed in convenient 3-in-1 sachets for a quick and easy pick-me-up.
Jonetsu Kakaku Soda Water
Choose between grapefruit and lemon for a refreshing soft drink to cool you down when the weather gets too hot, which is always the case for Malaysia. Jonetsu Kakaku is actually a subbrand of Don Don Donki, and it focuses on creating affordable and high-quality products for the masses.
Snacks
Salted Cashew Nuts
Cashew nuts are healthy snacks. They’re low in sugar and rich in fibre and heart-healthy fats. They’re also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese. Basically, all the good stuff necessary for a healthy and strong body. So, grab one or two of these slightly salted ones for a delicious and guilt-free afternoon munch.
Jonetsu Kakaku Dried Swordtip Squid
Dried squid is a delicacy in Japan. It’s got an acquired taste, but those who love it know the snack to be addictive and also surprisingly healthy. After all, squids are rich in calcium and iron with relatively low calories. Don Don Donki Malaysia uses the swordtip squid, which is distinguishable by its hammer-shaped head.
Calbee Chocolate & Banana Cereal
Calbee is one of Japan’s most popular snack producers, and its line of crunchy cereal is one of its many claims to fame. This flavour that combines the perfect union of chocolate and banana is topped with baked oats, rye, brown rice, and other grains.
Daily Essentials
Face Masks
Face masks have become an essential part of day-to-day life, largely due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. These washable and reusable Pita masks are great because they’re made with stretchable mesh that offers a customised snug fit. Available in black, white, and grey as well as different sizes, these face masks will protect you from unwanted dust and germs when you’re out and about.
Jonetsu Kakaku Dehumidifier
Neutralise odours—not just mask them—with this charcoal dehumidifier for your home. By absorbing moisture in the air, it prevents mildew and mould to form in dark and humid conditions, further reducing the risk of moisture damage to your furniture. The compact size lets you place it anywhere without any obstructions.
What Else Can I Expect To Buy At The Don Don Donki Malaysia’s Shopee Store?

At Don Don Donki, you can get bento sets with the protein of your choice, whether that’s lightly salted grilled mackerel or teriyaki chicken. If you prefer something light, an onigiri is always a good option.

No More Queuing Up For Hours, Get Japanese Products From Don Don Donki Malaysia’s Shopee Store
With Don Don Donki Malaysia setting up its own store in Shopee Mall, you can avoid the crowd and shop with just a swipe of your finger. The store is constantly being updated with new products, so give it a day or two if your item isn’t on there yet.
However, we highly recommend that you quickly add your items to cart and check out ASAP because judging by how things are selling out, they won’t be in stock for long!
