Kohakutou (Japanese crystal candy) based on the crystals from Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) will come out in Japan in August 2025. You can put in your pre-orders through Isetan’s online store, and you’ll have until April 25, 2025 to do so. Worldwide shipping is available. The last time this candy came out was in December 2021, and they sold out on the first day. So if you’re in Japan and you’re interested in this candy, you should make sure to get it while you can.
The kohakutou will come in a box that has the FFXIV logo on the cover, as well as a little chart of the crystals inside. It costs 3,201 JPY ($21.65). The candy inside resembles crystals that Warriors of Light in the game can collect or mine for. As a note, Moo:D Mark does offer international shipping via WorldShopping. However, the pop-up doesn’t appear on the page for the kohakutou. This is likely because it’s food, which is one of the items that Isetan has shipping restrictions on even within Japan.
This candy is a collaboration with harapeco, which is a candy company in Japan that specializes in kohakutou. Kohakutou, or Japanese crystal candy, is a traditional sweet that you can make with agar agar powder, water, and sugar. It creates crystal shapes with a crunchy exterior and a soft interior. Because of their fragile nature, Isetan warns that you may see some damage such as cracks on the candy, which is a result of shipping. However, it does not accept any exchanges and reassures customers that this kind of damage has no negative effect on the candy’s taste.
Final Fantasy XIV is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and macOS. Upcoming game events include Hatching-Tide, which will run from April 9-24, 2025.
