Art-level snacks: Yoshitomo Nara’s limited-edition Guai Guai is finally here, and you can buy it online
Only 4 bags per flavor!
For people in Taiwan, Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara feels especially familiar. He has held a series of major solo exhibitions in Taiwan and visited places around the island in social media posts. Now, he’s teamed up with Taiwan’s iconic snack, Guai Guai. After a quiet teaser last August, the Yoshitomo Nara limited-edition Guai Guai has finally officially launched!

From Taipei National University of the Arts and Jinguashi to Chiayi, Yoshitomo Nara has always chosen exhibition settings that reflect Taiwan’s local culture and landscape, often creating special works for them as well. For fans of Nara’s art, the merch shops are just as unmissable as the exhibitions themselves. His recent exhibition, “Following the Vagueness and Humidity in the Air, A Walk to the Old House in Chiayi,” coincided with the lively Lunar New Year holiday, and Nara prepared a limited-edition Guai Guai collaboration as a surprise.

The limited-edition Guai Guai comes in the brand’s signature corn puff sticks, in classic five-spice and butter coconut flavors. There’s also an “Aomori Apple” flavor, a nod to Nara’s hometown. The packaging comes in simple, eye-catching solid colors and features classic characters from Nara’s work, including the little girl and dog. It’s so cute, you’ll hardly want to open it.
It first went on sale at the “Following the Vagueness and Humidity in the Air, A Walk to the Old House in Chiayi” exhibition during Lunar New Year, but the good news is that you no longer need to make a trip to Chiayi to buy it. It’s available through Yoshitomo Nara’s official website, where you can choose whichever Guai Guai flavors you like. Orders are limited to 4 bags per flavor, with each bag priced at NT$80, so those interested may want to keep an eye out.
