For those who appreciate Japanese culture or simply have a love for all things delicious, there’s something charming and festive happening at 1 Utama Shopping Centre that truly shouldn’t be missed. Shojikiya, Malaysia’s favourite Japanese food specialty store, is bringing the vibrant tradition of Hina Matsuri—or Girls’ Day Festival—right to the heart of Petaling Jaya. From now till 4 May 2025, they are rolling out a special limited-time promotion packed with exclusive Japanese treats, festive bundles, and incredible Buy 1 Free 1 offers that promise to delight all ages.
Hina Matsuri is a beloved cultural celebration in Japan that symbolises happiness, prosperity, and good health for young girls. It’s typically marked with decorative dolls and colourful sweets. At Shojikiya’s pop-up-style promotion, the spirit of this celebration has been tastefully recreated—not only with the imported festive goodies but also through the enticing promotions that invite visitors to indulge in Japan’s culinary delights.
Why should anyone go and enjoy this deal?
1. A Taste of Japan Without Leaving Malaysia
One of the biggest draws of this event is the rare opportunity to sample seasonal Japanese delicacies that are typically only found during Hina Matsuri in Japan. Think sakura-themed mochi, colourful rice crackers, delightful sweet-and-savoury senbei, and Japanese candies that are both adorable and delicious. These are not your everyday supermarket finds—many of these treats are specially imported just for this festive promotion and available in limited quantities.
Instead of booking a flight or scrolling through Japanese online shops with costly shipping fees, shoppers can walk into Shojikiya and enjoy authentic snacks curated for this traditional event, right at 1 Utama. It’s a genuine cultural experience with none of the hassle.
2. Irresistible Buy 1 Free 1 Deals
If there’s one thing Malaysians can’t resist, it’s a good Buy 1 Free 1 offer—and Shojikiya has several. Selected Japanese snacks, sweets, and packaged delicacies are part of this limited-time promotion, making it perfect for sharing with family or stocking up for future cravings.
Many of these items are premium Japanese imports, so getting two for the price of one is a deal worth talking about. Whether it’s crispy seaweed snacks, chocolate-coated biscuits, or delightful jelly desserts, there’s something for everyone in the mix. These offers are only available while stocks last, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
3. Exclusive Hina Matsuri Bundle Deals
Apart from the Buy 1 Free 1 offers, Shojikiya is also presenting festive-only bundle sets that are perfect for gifting or sampling a variety of products in one go. These bundles are specially designed to reflect the spirit of the season, combining both traditional and modern flavours into curated packs that are visually beautiful and delicious to eat.
For families with young ones, the bundle sets also serve as an educational and cultural experience. It’s a chance to introduce children to a different tradition through taste and story, encouraging a deeper appreciation of Japanese customs in a fun, flavourful way.
4. Limited-Time Offer That Adds Urgency
This Hina Matsuri celebration is not a month-long campaign—it’s brief, running only from 22 April to 4 May 2025. That short timeframe means shoppers must act fast to grab the best items before they run out. Events like this, hosted by Shojikiya, are often very popular, and limited edition products tend to sell out early.
This makes the visit not just a shopping trip, but a bit of a treasure hunt—those who go early will have the widest variety of snacks and bundles to choose from. And because the deals are available exclusively at their pop-up in 1 Utama’s Promenade (beside Baskin Robbins), it’s worth making a dedicated trip for it.
5. Perfect Gift Ideas for All Ages
Whether you’re looking to surprise a friend who loves Japanese culture or need a quick gift that’s both thoughtful and delicious, these seasonal treats make excellent presents. Shojikiya has thoughtfully curated their bundles and displays with a touch of traditional charm, making it easy to walk away with a beautifully packaged snack set that looks as good as it tastes.
It’s not every day that a snack becomes a conversation piece, but during this Hina Matsuri promotion, many of these treats double up as mini artworks—ideal for both snacking and gifting.
6. A Convenient Shopping Location
Held at Promenade@ 1 Utama, the promotion benefits from being in one of Klang Valley’s most accessible and well-loved malls. Located on the First Floor beside Baskin Robbins, Shojikiya’s festive space is easy to find and welcoming to browse through, even during peak hours.
1 Utama itself offers plenty of parking, MRT access, and other food and retail outlets to turn your visit into a full-day outing. After exploring Shojikiya’s goodies, shoppers can take a stroll through the many shops or enjoy a meal with friends and family.
7. A Cultural Outing That’s Easy on the Pocket
One of the most appealing parts of this event is the pricing. For what could be considered luxury imported goods, Shojikiya’s promotion offers real value. From Buy 1 Free 1 to bundle packs, there are many chances to save while still enjoying premium-quality snacks.
This makes the promotion perfect for students, families, or even corporate buyers looking to pick up some gifts for clients or colleagues. In a time when prices are rising across the board, this event is a refreshing example of how one can enjoy indulgence without overspending.
8. A Brief but Beautiful Celebration of Spring
Although Malaysia doesn’t have the four seasons, the Hina Matsuri celebration brings a touch of Japanese spring to the country. With pastel colours, cherry blossom motifs, and festive packaging, it creates an aesthetic escape that lifts the spirits.
In a world full of daily routines, it’s these small seasonal surprises that make life just a bit more enjoyable. Shojikiya’s thoughtful presentation, combined with their authentic food offerings, makes this more than a promotion—it’s an experience that brings culture, tradition, and joy into everyday life.
