If you love trying Japanese candy and all the weird and wonderful flavours, a subscription box is a great idea. Our guide will help you choose the best box by comparing price, selection and shipping.
For our guide, we’re including Japanese candy/snack boxes that we have personally reviewed. Boxes are listed alphabetically. Prices shown are for a monthly rolling subscription but discounts are usually available if you pay for 3, 6 or 12 months in advance. Most signup links are affiliate links which means your subscription helps support Super Cute Kawaii at no extra cost to you.
