What I love about ZenPop Japanese Ramen + Sweets Mix Pack is the variety of ramen and snacks I get! There are too many types of snacks and cup noodle out there and sometimes I just don't want to hand-pick them myself. (Physically at a market or online shop) By getting a ZenPop mix pack, I get a cute box sent to my doorstep and it often brings great surprises!

JAPAN YUM BOX FEBRUARY 2016 REVIEW

JAPAN YUM BOX FEBRUARY 2016

Last week, I received Japan Yum's February snack box. Japan Yum is a Japanese snack subscription company. Since they work directly with Japanese candy suppliers and store their candies in a US facility, as a result subscribers can receive a great selection of snacks easier and quicker. 

Their box is petite and light, but the selection of candies are just the ones that I like. Let's check out what kind of snack they offer in February! :) 

SNAKKU BOX JANUARY 2016 REVIEW

SNAKKU BOX JANUARY 2016

For the new year, Snakku introduces a set of snacks made by a popular Japanese snack company called Chidoriya 千鳥屋. The company was established since 1630 at Nagasaki, which was the port-city where western goods were available at the time. Influenced by the baked cakes and sweets from the Portuguese, Chidoriya was one of the first snack stores that sell western snacks made with sugar. (Sugar was rare in Japan at that time)

Tirolian チロリアン Roll Cookies with Coffee flavored cream filling

My favorite is the Tirolian Roll Cookie, which according to Snakku these roll cookies have been using the same recipes and making methods since Chidoriya opened in 1630. Other than the roll cookies, the rest of the Tirolian snacks are also very yummy too! Let's check out each and see how they taste?

OYATSUBOX PREMIUM DECEMBER 2015 SUBSCRIPTION BOX REVIEW

JAPAN CANDY BOX NOVEMBER 2015 SUBSCRIPTION BOX REVIEW

Japan Candy Box

Japan Candy Box is a Japanese candy subscription service who will select around 8-10 hand-picked quirky Japanese sweets & snacks for your candy box. It has a nice variety of popular Japanese candies that I remember having when I used to live in Asia. The proportion is just right to try out each snack. It doesn't make me feel "too filling" when having these smaller packages of candies and caramel corn puffs.

FREEDOM JAPANESE MARKET NOVEMBER 2015 SUBSCRIPTION BOX REVIEW

Original Subscription Pack

Origami of the Month

For this review, it is going to be about the November 2015 "Original Subscription Pack" by Freedom Japanese Market.

After opening my snack box, I am delighted to see an adorable origami. I really appreciate these kind of small things. Actually folding origami for each subscription box can be very time consuming, this is something that I love to see when it comes to details.

I am also very surprised that I actually never seen many of these snacks before. Usually, I am familiar with half of the snack box! Especially this "pipe choco" that I am holding, (photo below) I can almost imagine a kid holding it and role-playing with it while enjoying the mini chocolate balls. It makes you feel like childhood.

WOWBOX (by MogMog) NOVEMBER 2015, "Original Fun & Tasty" Box, LARGE

SNAKKU BOX OCTOBER 2015 REVIEW

October Snakku Box - Hokkaido themed snacks

What a traditional and cute packaging for snack bento!

Snakku is a Japanese snack subscription service founded by Shigeki-san, who was born in Tokyo and values authentic Japanese snacks made by actual snack makers in Japan. When I first received my Snakku box, it leaves a deep impression from the way Snakku packages their snack box with a "furoshiki", a piece of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth for bento (picnic box), gifts, grocery goods, etc.  

JAPAN CRATE PREMIUM OCTOBER 2015 REVIEW

JAPAN CRATE PREMIUM OCTOBER 2015

This is the first time I've ever received a Japanese snack subscription box. It feels like Christmas already just to receive a box full of goodies! Japan Crate includes all kinds of snacks: savory ones like chips, sweet ones like candies and DIY snacks, sour gummy candies, crispy corn snacks, etc! For Premium box, they even include a Japanese drink. 

Bireley's Orange Drink - a discontinued drink from 1920 California and
is still available in Japan made by Asahi drink manufacture

Meiji - Poifull - Assorted Soda Jelly Beans

My favorite snack is a jelly bean by Meiji. I used to have it a lot when I was young in Hong Kong, where Japanese snacks are widely available. After moving to the America, this is one of the few times that I get to try this candy for a long time. The texture of this candy is hardened only for the outer layer. Once you eat it, the outer layer will soften and blend with the rest of the candy. It is sweet, but not overly sweetened like many American candies. (American food doesn't go easy on sugar!)
