Tokyo Treat box Review

I was so lucky to have been chosen as the winner in Tokyo Treat giveaway this month, and I just received my box yesterday! My family was so happy - they couldn’t believe we have received a box all the way from Japan! What a treat - hey, it’s Tokyo Treat! This is something I will remember forever! I may never be able to visit Japan, and have only seen it on TV. Our stores do not carry all the multitude of snacks and treats from Japan, so getting this was so precious, especially since I love to review subscription boxes!

This box is from December this year, 2015. So far we haven’t tried everything in it yet, so I will be updating my review as we try more products in it.

I have received their premium box with 14 items in it. This box retails for $34.99 per month, which is not that much considering it comes with candy and snacks, specialty items, and is shipped for free!

The box came with all authentic snacks, and with a guide in English as to what is in the box. That is great since nobody in our house speaks any Japanese, and we are thankful that someone will hold our hand through understanding this foreign language, and explain what to expect in each package. It also helps if you were to give some of the treats away if you don’t like some flavors, or know someone who would want to try them. I know it will be hard for me to try any of these, as my kids will probably fight over them as it is.

Here is what came in the box:

Chirin color chocolate pen
Meiji Banana Chocolate
Meiji Cotton Soda Gum
Glico Light Potatoes
Fun Christmas Caramel Powder Snow - perfect for the season!
Majomajo Neru Neru - this is some sort of DIY candy. I am not familiar with DIY candy, but sounds like a fun way to eat, and they are popular in Japan, so it says.
Lotte Star Wars Bikkuriman E123 - even Japanese candy box is about Star Wars!
Meiji Gochi Gumi Cola - sounds delicious!
Coris Sharitto Puru Gums
Calbee Hard Fried Potato Ride
Snowman Ramune Special
Riddle Puchitto - another DIY candy
Matcha Collon - love matcha tea, so looking forward to this treat!
Meiji Cream and Caramel

I can’t wait to try these treats, and write about them, and for now enjoy the pictures!

Japan has some of the best treats. Thanks for the review.

Sounds like a good box for me as I like Anime and Japanese culture, but would only would like to buy an individual box just to try every one and a while instead of a sub.

I’ve tried winning one of these before, a lot of interesting items in each box.

THis treat box sounds interesting and it was certainly full of different Japanese candies. I am eagerly awaiting your review of the different types.

The candies were all great in the box! I hope to find the time to describe them

I just love subscription boxes, and would love to see similar boxes from other cultures. I’m fortunate enough to have a large Japanese market (including bookstrore, grocery store, food court, and some other businesses) so we can get whatever we want. I really like the idea of this box, though, since not everyone has access to things like Ramune (which, by the way, is an awkward take on the word lemonaid, in case you didn’t know). My daughters and I have a lot of friends who are into anime and manga, and we know quite a few who just don’t have access to these items like we do. I’ll have to share this with them.

For me, the biggest attraction in the Tokyo box is actually quite lame - it is the selection, and the sheet that comes with it with a little bit of explanation as to what the flavors are. As I don’t speak Japanese or any Asian language, even though we have an abundance of stores around here that sell mysterious products, I wouldn’t know where to start trying those, and we usually end up not getting anything out of fear we’d get something we would not want to try.

Certainly some interesting products in their box that I would like

chesketh on April 9, 2016 at 11:56 pm

This one is one of my favorite boxes - it is great!
