TokyoTreat & Sakuraco create monthly snack boxes to let you experience Japan from the comfort of your own home with seasonal and limited edition snacks and drinks. We’ve teamed up with them to show you what’s inside so here’s a look at the current boxes which are available now, themed around Harajuku & Mt Fuji – look out for a special discount below!
TokyoTreat – Harajuku Snackventure
Harajuku is Tokyo’s trendiest neighbourhood and you can get a taste of some of the cute and colourful treats and flavours at home with TokyoTreat’s fun and exclusive snack box. Each monthly box is filled with limited-edition KitKats, specialty-flavoured Japanese chips, seasonal treats, and occasional Japanese sodas that are only available in Japan for a limited time. This month there are 14 different sweet and savoury items, including a full size bag of KitKats, instant noodles and a DIY candy kit, plus a colour booklet. 5 items in our box are not veggie-friendly (including the ramen).
Marceline’s Favourites
- Mega Marshmallow Stick – it really is mega-sized and almost too cute to eat. The perfect sweet colourful and kawaii Harajuku snack.
- Salted Lemon Pretzel Sticks – an odd but addictive combo with lemon and black pepper that’s really zingy.
- Simply Sweet DIY Ice Cream – a super-easy candy kit (just mix the powder with water) to scoop on top of wafer cones. Good fun with a strong fizzy fruity flavour.
- Garlic Potato Chips – there’s 5 savoury snacks in this box and they’re all good but these garlic chips are something a bit different.
- Kirby’s Crazy Gum Mix – mix and match the 5 flavours to create your perfect gum with guides for melon soda, apple pie, candy apple and more.
Sakuraco – Mt. Fuji Summertime
Treat yourself or a loved one and experience the tastes and specialities of of Mt Fuji’s surrounding areas, with a box of Sakuraco snacks. Each monthly box contains 20 traditional, authentic, and artisan Japanese snacks from local snack makers across Japan, including Japanese teas, a special Japanese tableware item and a full colour booklet. For this month’s box, there’s Fuji-shaped biscuits, sugar candies and jelly, plus Shizuoka green tea and a stunning small plate featuring Hokusai’s great wave with Fuji in the background. Only 1 item isn’t suitable for vegetarians (shrimp crackers).
Emma’s Favourites
- Shizuoka Green Tea Cookie – This is deliciously bitter with a great green tea flavour and it’s so moist and buttery.
- Ako Salt Agemochi – These are SO addictive. They have a fantastic salty crunch but there’s still a slight chew from the mochi in the centre.
- Matcha Genmaicha – I love the toasty flavour of genmaicha and this is actually fantastic cold as well, making it a great summer drink.
- Muscat Konjac Jelly – This jelly has a super refreshing grape flavour and is the perfect snack for the summer.
- Mt Fuji Biscuit – Just as buttery as the green tea cookie, but sweeter and the perfect accompaniment to the genmaicha.
