Daiso Korea Best Sellers: Top 300 Ranking, September 2026

This is the third round of our monthly snapshot of Daisomall’s weekly sales ranking, all 300 places of it. After July 29 and August 31, we pulled the list again on September 30, 2026 with the same method and matched it product by product against August.

August’s conclusion was that this ranking has two floors: the upper floor is nailed down with tissues, wipes and scourers, while the lower floor turns over by half every five weeks. September confirmed that once more — and overturned a couple of other things.

What is the #1 best seller at Daiso in September 2026?

Hello Daily Facial Tissues, 280 sheets, 1,000 won. It was #1 in July, lost the spot to the sea grape skin pack in August, and took it back a month later. It carries 21,718 reviews and a 4.9 rating.

🏆 Daisomall weekly sales ranking, top 10 (collected September 30, 2026)

4	Tempo Roll Toilet Paper 24 m	500 won	Toilet paper	★4.9 · 5,316	7th
5	Embossed Wet Wipes 110 ct	1,000 won	Wet wipes	★4.8 · 4,870	5th

10	Puffy Moist Cushion Puff	1,000 won	Beauty tools	★4.8 · 7,427	not listed

Only one product is new to the top 10: the Puffy Moist Cushion Puff at #10. Only one left: August’s 10th-place Urine Scale & Limescale Remover (3,000 won) slipped to 16th. The other nine just swapped places.

Paper products — tissues, kitchen towel, toilet paper and wet wipes — hold 5 of the top 10. That was true in July and in August too. The crown changed hands twice; the view from the top floor did not change once.

What changed at Daiso in a month?

120 of the 300 items were replaced (40.0%). The previous round saw 143 replaced over five weeks. Even allowing for a window one week shorter, turnover slowed a little.

📊 Items by category (September 30, 2026; August 31 in brackets)

Category	Of 300	Share	In top 100	Median price	vs August

Food	5	1.7%	1	1,500 won	▲2 (3)
Insect control	2	0.7%	1	2,000 won	▲1 (1)

The gainers are storage & organising (+5) and bags & disposables (+5); the losers are other household goods (−8) and supplements (−4). Most of the drop in other household goods is the Detective Conan stationery leaving (more below).

23 products are new to the top 100, and many are classic Daiso household consumables: Ottogi cooked white rice 200 g at 24th (1,000 won), plain paper cups 100 ct at 35th, disposable pillow covers 3 ct at 61st, and three Japanese-made Tanabe toothbrushes arriving together at 33rd, 36th and 82nd (2,000 won each).

Did Daiso get cheaper?

The average price across the 300 fell from 2,280 to 2,075 won, down 9.0%. The “prices moved up a tier” story we reported in August reversed within a month.

💰 Items by price tier (August 31 → September 30)

Price	August	September	Change
500 won	10	13	▲3
1,000 won	111	126	▲15
1,500 won	6	6	—
2,000 won	64	66	▲2
3,000 won	57	48	▼9
5,000 won	52	41	▼11

The 5,000-won tier lost 11 items, but 5,000-won skincare held steady at 24 in both months. What left was non-cosmetic: 5,000-won supplements (6 → 1), hair and body (6 → 4), makeup and beauty tools (4 → 1). Daiso’s 5,000-won ampoules, toners and creams keep selling; the other 5,000-won goods gave way to 1,000-won consumables.

The median price in the top 20 is, once again, 1,000 won.

When do autumn and winter items show up?

Not yet. The September 30 list contains no hand warmers, humidifier supplies, anti-static sprays or lip balms. In August we wrote that summer leaves before winter arrives. A month later, the gap still has not been filled by cold-weather goods.

🌡️ Seasonal signals — item count · best rank

Signal	August 31	September 30
Dehumidifiers	7 · 25th	4 · 106th
Deodorisers	2 · 118th	2 · 259th
Mould removers	1 · 116th	2 · 37th
Fruit fly traps	1 · 16th	1 · 52nd
Mosquito repellent	none	1 · 294th
Hand warmers, humidifier, anti-static, lip balm	none	none
Stationery & art	7 · 133rd	4 · 78th

Dehumidifiers fell in both count and rank, yet mould removers climbed to 37th (Homestar mould remover gel 120 ml, 3,000 won). The damp has passed; people have moved on to cleaning up what it left behind.

Character goods fell from 18 items to 10. The 11 Detective Conan stationery items that arrived together in August are all gone — exactly the “launch batch sells at once, then leaves” pattern we suspected. In their place, three Hello Kitty mesh and carabiner pouches entered (18th, 76th, 181st), while Disney again holds six spots on everyday items like wet wipes, bags and scrubbers.

What should tourists buy at Daiso?

Three rounds in, the answer is unchanged: 500-won skincare. Items at 500 won rose from 10 in August to 13 in September, and 9 of them are capsule packs, sheet masks and a peeling pad.

What is new this round is Korean-pattern souvenirs. Four new products from a line called Jeontong-ui Meot (roughly “traditional style”) entered the ranking for the first time: gold-foil masking tape, a dancheong-pattern lens cloth, longevity-symbol stickers and an embossed notebook, all 1,000 won. Light, unbreakable and obviously from Korea — everything a travel gift needs.

Do the most-reviewed Daiso items sell the most?

Not necessarily. 17 items have more than 10,000 reviews. The most-reviewed is Ekkla Clean Wet Wipes (27,132), which ranks 7th in sales. VT Reedle Shot 100 ampoule has the sixth-most reviews at 17,028 but sells at 81st.

Reviews are accumulated history; rank is this week’s sales. High rank plus high reviews means it sold for years and still sells (ranks 1 to 3, and the corn scourer at 9th). High reviews with a low rank means a past hit; high rank with three-digit reviews means a fresh launch. With an average rating of 4.81 across all 300 and a minimum of 4.5, star ratings will not help you tell them apart.

What three rounds of data tell us

1. The top floor really is nailed down. The #1 spot changed twice, but paper products held 5 of the top 10 in all three months, and 9 of August’s top 10 stayed in September’s.
2. August’s move upmarket reversed — outside cosmetics. 5,000-won skincare stayed at 24 items; the 5,000-won non-cosmetics are what shrank. The average price is back down to 2,075 won.
3. Launch waves pass in a month. Eleven Conan items went to zero. The next wave is Hello Kitty pouches and Korean-pattern souvenirs. In October, the thing to watch is whether hand warmers and humidifier supplies finally appear.
