Bokksu is a premium snack box that features authentic Japanese snacks, as well as a tea pairing to go with it. The items are what you can’t easily find here across the pond, so trying them is a real treat and always a fun experience! I love learning about the different regions of Japan, too. Last month’s box was my first and I really enjoyed it, so I’m excited to see what this month has in store.

Bokksu also ships to Canada! And shipping is only $5 which is super reasonable!

First look! The bright orange color of Bokksu always makes me smile.

October focuses on autumn and the delicious food that is at its freshest during the autumn months. The fold out card is laid out clearly and includes translations of all the items as well as interesting facts about why they were selected. A new addition to the page is allergy information on some of the basic allergens, which is appreciated!

Golden Sweet Potato Cake: I love sweet potato, but I have never had it in a cake form before. It’s got a touch of cinnamon and rum in it as well.

20th Century Pear Langues de Chat: Two thin sugar cookies with pear infused white chocolate in the middle. This is a light and sweet treat. I really love Japanese sugar cookies.

Hazelnut Cake Rusk: Rusks are baguette slices that are double-baked so they’re extra crispy. This one is smothered with nuts and tastes of hazelnut and a hint of espresso.

Persimmon Monaka: This monaka is made of a light wafer outside and sweet persimmon inside.

Honey-Glazed Apple Pie: Oh my god, these are my favorite items in the box. The pie is soft and flakey, and there is a dollop of apple right in the middle.

Bokksu always includes a tea pairing! This month’s tea is an apple green tea! It’s a flavored green tea containing apple and rose.

Bokksu put together a great box exploring fall flavors from Japan! The fruit-themed treats were all amazing and perfect for autumn. I especially enjoyed the apple pie and the hazelnut rusks.
