I received the box featured to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
I was a picky eater when I was a kid and since growing up, I’ve completely turned that around. Now I absolutely love trying new foods- I’m making up for lost time! I love trying foods from all different countries and all different ingredients, but my favorite thing to try is new treats. I have a major sweet tooth and I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy something sweet!
The Japan Candy Box subscription box is absolutely perfect for discovering new sweet treats. The box comes with 10 carefully curated snacks from Japan every month, sometimes following a theme. A wide variety of snacks are included so there’s something for everyone!
The boys and I had the chance to try the October box which was Halloween Party themed. We got a large variety of items, from Halloween Caramel Corn to Mystery Gum {which was way better tasting than it sounds}.
The box comes with a booklet describing each treat, but we decided to blind taste test everything first. We took turns sampling all of the different treats in the box and passing them around! There was only one of each thing, since it’s really meant to be enjoyed by one person- but with such a large variety of snacks we were able to share and still have more than enough to try over several different tastings.
Most of the treats in the box were a hit, though there were a couple we didn’t like. Even those were fun though because they were totally new experiences- some reminded us of American treats but many were unlike anything we’d had before! I was particularly happy to find the Koala snacks- I grew up eating those and haven’t been able to find them anywhere!
If you have a treat lover on your holiday shopping list, this is definitely a unique gift that keeps on giving! They will receive a box each month with different treats each time. Each box has 10 treats and a booklet that explains what everything is, so they can learn more about the treats and take note of which ones they want to enjoy again.
