Tokyo Treat box

A look inside the a Japanese snack box called Tokyo Treat:

It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a subscription box on the blog, but I’m excited to share one today! This one is called Tokyo Treat, and it’s a Japanese snack box that you can get monthly.

While this subscription box isn’t directly Disney related, it reminded me strongly of Epcot’s Japan pavilion. I love walking around the Mitsukoshi Department Store! Especially the snack section. There are so many unique treats with all sorts of fun flavors that we don’t normally have here in the US.

If you’ve ever wanted a taste of Epcot at home, Tokyo Treat is a really fun way to do it. I also think this subscription would be great for all ages. I know lots of adults who like trying new things. And of course kids will love all of the candy and treats!

Each month’s box is curated around a theme, and it’s impressive how well they find treats and items that work together. Also included is a little booklet, which tells you about all of the items in your box. The booklet also had fun facts about the theme and some of the snacks consumed in Japan.

They crammed a lot of treats into this box! I had 15 different snacks to try, and they were not just sample sizes either.

There were many snacks to try, so I had my husband try them with me! Jason loves candy, and he also loves anything unique or out-of-the-ordinary. Part of me wanted to keep the snacks all to myself, but this way I also had a second opinion to share with you.

Let’s take a look at what was inside!

DIY Candy Apple – this is a pretty tasty treat, but the best part is it’s fun! Even Jason got a kick out of it. It’s very sweet, of course, but the variety of textures makes it interesting. The candy itself is very chewy – I almost thought it was gum at first.

Ramune gummies – if you’ve ever had the ramune soda, these actually taste just like it! They are similar to jellybeans but with a slightly different texture.

Mini sugar donuts – these are about what you’d expect. They are very tiny sugar donuts. They were not the freshest, but they were okay.

Soy sauce corn puffs – definitely a bit different. I thought they tasted like corn pops with some soy sauce flavoring. I liked them pretty well, but I preferred the other crunchy snacks in this box more.

Orange bar gum – this is a fun flavor for chewing gum! It was very very soft gum.

Snack Gacha – snack surprise – I love the idea of a surprise item that could vary from box to box. There were a bunch of items on a QR code that told you about what you got. I ended up with the Yame Gyokuro Chocolate Sandwich. It’s like a wafer with layers of green tea. Jason thought it tasted more like seaweed. It was not our favorite in the box.

Chocolate orange KitKats – I think orange and chocolate is a highly underrated combination, so I was thrilled to see chocolate orange kitkats! The flavor was great. My bag was slightly melted when it arrived, but a little time in the fridge helped. This was one of my favorite things in the box.

Strawberry jelly marshmallows – another top treat from this box. The marshmallows are super fluffy, and they had a tasty jelly filling in the middle!

Kakigoori Jelly – the booklet recommended freezing these, which I did. They were interesting! The texture was unique. Though it was frozen, it still maintained some of the jelly consistency. I enjoyed it and thought the flavors were fun (I really liked mango and blue hawaii).

Strawberry cotton candy – nice and fluffy and a fun strawberry flavor. I appreciated that it fit well with the summer festival theme.

Eggplant miso soup – it’s nice to have a more savory option! It’s a little on the salty side, but I like salt. It’s about what you might expect if you’ve ever had a miso soup before a hibachi dinner. A pleasant little treat or appetizer for a meal.

Edamame bites – another favorite! I’ve had wasabi peas before, and these are very similar. I thought they were slightly spicier than the wasabi peas we normally get here. After sampling them Jason declared we need to get more.

Honey fried rice cracker – I think these were my favorite out of the crunchy snacks. The honey brings a bit of a sweetness, but not too much. Really good.

Don Don Yaki Crackers – these are salty, crunchy bites with a unique flavor. I rather liked them, but Jason hated them. He said it tasted like barbecue sauce. (He’s right – they are made with a Japanese barbecue sauce). I thought the flavor was subtle and made them more interesting.

I also liked how everything was picked based on a theme, but there was still many different flavors and types of treats. You had sweet, spicy, crunchy, salty – a little bit of everything. The box was well curated and if it sounds at all like something you might enjoy, I highly recommend checking it out!
