Bokksu Seasons of Japan Snack Box - 1-Piece Tea + 22-Piece Snacks from Japan - Authentic Japanese Food Box with Cookies, Chips, Mochi, Crackers, Tea, and More

Ok, so I got the first box here half price with the rare Black Friday sale. I figured I’d get one box then cancel before the full price subscription starts (make sure you do this as soon as it ships if you plan that). Well, I did that, then got the box... finished it in 3 days and haven’t stopped thinking about it since! Like any uncustomizable service, you might find some percentage of the set not to your tastes. However, if you are a true connoisseur of Japanese snacks, I think you will be impressed by the quality and variety of the offerings. No, this is not cheap, although I did think it was definitely worth it for the sale price... full price, it is rather extravagant. On the other hand, I don’t think you would find some of these unusual snacks anywhere else… Not at most nearby asian grocery stores (I live near 5, including large supermarket types with many Japanese snacks). A few of these can certainly be classed “artisan” and not that mass-produced. For example, the white chocolate infused strawberry. I still cannot figure out how they made that. It’s like the strawberry was actually injected with chocolate as it was freeze-dried, perfectly melded together. That big spicy cracker thing and the pear cream biscuit were amazing, too. Many of the other savory snacks also had a lot of complexity and depth to their flavors. They deftly combine subtle sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and umami notes together. They put American snacks to shame because these seem to be very one-note in comparison—just sickly sweet or too salty. I think it’s cool how Bokksu includes a booklet so you can learn more about the snacks and Japanese culture, too (every box has a theme). To be sure, these are ‘high end’ fancy snacks not for bargain shoppers or those with unadventurous and unelevated palates. Look, I have easy access to Asian supermarkets within 5 minutes from me and I’m Chinese American—I’m well familiar with shrimp crackers, dried seaweed rice crackers, Pocky, mochi, etc; in contrast, these boxes are not run-of-the mill and is not for everyone. You have to be willing to try different flavors and clearly, some of the reviewers who didn’t like it weren’t. Anyway, after I finished the box, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. After trying to ignore the cravings for a week, I ended up going on the website and purchasing a 6 month subscription for $230. I never would have thought I’d pay that much for monthly snack boxes before, but it is officially an addiction now! I’m sure it’s a luxury that I’m not going to be able to afford eventually… however, I’m going to just try it out for a few months. I don’t know if I can say $40 a box is “worthwhile” to most people, but for me, I must feed the obsession!

They often rotate their packs for different tastes around japan from various artists and places that make them. Asuka bean I love.They vary in tastes in styles. I also like the strawberries and the white chocolate, which is something I actually used to make dehydrated strawberries myself.There's very intense from the Green Tea influences to certain beings. Other herbs in taste, just sweet candies. Ratsaki, flavor and other things that make them wonderful.I also need to wash my sugar. And the good thing about japanese treats is there so much lower in sugar than stuff we get in the united states or other countries. And in some cases, they have health benefits for once made from different herbs or grasses or Green Tea. And other things are the beans that actually settle people's stomach if they have things like ibd.We'll usually have something for dinner or if I make homemade sushi or gimbap or another thing like yakkatori rice, we will have these along with some more green tea or my green tea and green herbal detox matcha.Definitely error nice treat. That is more on the healthy side. Then the sweet side, or naughty side of by treats.

I wanted to give my kids something interesting since we are all stuck at home during lockdown, so I decided to spring for a snack box subscription. I chose Japanese snacks because I can't eat gluten and on occasion, they have rice-based snacks so even I can join in the fun sometimes. Through a series of bizarre circumstances I accidentally ordered a "Tokyo Treat" brand box AND this Bokksu in the same month, and it was too late to cancel when I found out. I can say that this box is absolutely better. I has full descriptions, interesting information, allergen info, and a really nice selection. It says they are premium quality and they really are -- this isn't gas station crap, it's delicious. The kids love it, and I like it, too. As far as value for money, it's a little pricey but it's coming from Japan, and in my box everything arrived whole and in good condition. I like that it comes with tea, too.The short version is that this is definitely better than Tokyo Treat, and it's cheaper, and it's a really nice and interesting thing that kids enjoy and so do I. Not really the best budgeting choice, but I justify it to myself because I'm only buying gas for the car once a month now.

These fruit Gummys are direct from Japan. They are wonderful. The flavors are so incredible.

On a whim I purchased a subscription to the Bokksu Authentic Japanes Snack & Candy Subscription Classic Box. I purchased it during a special promotional deal and had it sent to my daughter who is a senior in college, minoring in Japanese. She had just returned from a summer in Japan and I high hopes she'd appreciate the goodies in this box.It took three weeks from the time I ordered until the box arrived. That seemed like a long time to me, but I think I must have ordered the subscription at a time in the month when one box had just shipped and the new month had yet to start.When the subscription shipped I saw it in my Amazon orders and could track it there. There was no notification of the shipment. Because the cost-per-month of the subscription was higher than i wanted to pay, I cancelled the subscription after the box shipped, knowing I could restart the subscription at a later date if desired.My daughter received her Bokksu Classic Box and enjoyed all the snacks and candy contained in it. She said there was a good selection of high-quality products and it was a nice surprise that put an exclamation mark on her time spent in Japan.This is a fun way to send a creative gift.

This is an excellent assortment of Japanese candies. My granddaughter just started her first year of college and the mininKitKat bars were a big hit
