I suppose the best sweets for souvenir is Shiroi koibito (White Lover)!

http://best.ciao.jp/ohkashi/database/database.cgi?cmd=dp&num=1&dp=

This is the most popular souvenir from Hokkaido which has been popular for over 30 years since its birth. It’s a Langue-de-chat-type sweet, whose cookies are baked to golden perfection and sandwiching white chocolate. The crunchiness which is a key to this cookie is produced under strict quality control in the factory performing thorough hygienic management.

Please dip this Shiroi koibito in cold milk! It's yummy!

If you on a budget or even if you are not, the 100 yen shop is where you sshould be heading. You can get a range of great Japanese stuff which can double up as sovenirs. From Travel goods to stickers, from slippers to toys the 100 yen has it all. Main store is Daiso there are stores in virtually every city. The flagship store being in Takeshita Dori in Harajuku.

If you have a bit of cash to spend then a scaled down replica of a kimono and samurai sword may just be the best souvenirs from Japan for yourself or a loved one.

If you happen to be in the sleepy backwater of Obama Japan, then you may be in for some of the best souvenirs you could take back for your family...

Other good ideas for Japanese souvenirs

Best Japanese souvenirs from the supermarkets are:
1) Nori seaweed. Sheets of dried seaweed. Delicious on salad and sushi. Healthy too!
2) Natto. Smelly fermented beans. It's refrigerated so may be even smellier by th time you get home so buy the day before.
3) miso soup. Good as an apetizer.
4) sake is great if you like alcohol.
Good luck and itadakemasu!!
