The TokyoTreat magazine is read right to left like Japanese books and comics. It includes the product information as well as information on Japanese culture, the monthly giveaway, instructions for the DIY kit, and other features.
Most of the popular snack boxes have this sort of tiered system with three levels of size!
Here’s what’s included in the small box!
Tohato White Milk Caramel Corn. Japanese caramel corn isn’t popcorn, but rather sweet and sugar corn curls like Cheezies. This limited edition white milk flavor has special reindeer packaging.
Shimi Choco Corn. More corn snacks! These are star shaped and are soaked in chocolate.
Bireley’s Soft Candy. These soft candies are very juicy, and contain real fruit juice! My favorite was the muscat grape.
Chocolate Umaibo. Special edition Christmas umaibo! I prefer the savory ones; these are only okay.
Christmas Fugashi. Fugashi is a traditional snack soaked with brown sugar. The texture is hard to explain, it reminded me a bit of that foam sugar candy.
Strawberry Roll Candy. I’ve had this before – it’s identical to our Fruit by the Foot. Flashbacks to elementary school!
The regular box includes all of the above, plus:
Puchi Puchi Art Gummy DIY Kit. This one is new to me! It looks to be a bit more advanced in terms of fine motor skills, which I lack. Use colored candy to fill in little dots using a stencil to make gummy art. It kind of reminds me of a mosaic.
Chocobi Ramune. Ramune is Japanese soda. These individually-wrapped star-shaped candies have a chocolatey flavor to them. I didn’t really like these, but I can see how they would be addicting!
Komekko Scallop Crackers. These crackers are very crunchy but have a fishy flavor which I don’t really like.
Corn Potage Umaibo. Yes, real Umaibo! These puffy corn sticks have savory flavors, and these are the corn potage flavor. It’s a bit weird since it really does taste like corn, but I like it.
Tomato Pretz. Made by Glico, this is the savory answer to Pocky. These are pretzel sticks seasoned with tomato flavoring. I really like these and am happy to see them included.
And finally, the premium box, which includes everything in the small and regular, plus:
Mokeke Plush. Wow, this plush is substantial! Mokeke is an alien character and he’s super cute with long arms and legs.
Cream Stew Ramune. Ramune is Japanese soda, and this one is… stew-flavored. I wasn’t quite brave enough, so I took this to work with me for my daring friend Mitch to try. We toasted and tried it – it tastes like carbonated soup broth. I can see why the gimmick would be appealing, but as a refreshing drink, it wouldn’t do much.
Meiji Chocolate Cubes. These chocolate cubes have a special coating so they don’t melt as fast in your hand. Meiji chocolate is amazing.
Mini Choco Chips. These are really small chocolate cookies!
So cute!
Cola Ramune Candy. I looooove anything cola-flavored – these small chewy tablets are probably one of my favorite treats this month!
I love Tokyo Treat – they really have got the balance of a good snack box down. There’s always a good mix of savory and sweet, and the added drink and DIY are my favorite parts to try each month!

Hi, great review!! Have you heard of anyone getting charge duty when ordering from Canada?
I’m from Canada, and I have never had any issue with any of my subscription boxes incurring duty or customs taxes. (And I’ve done over 300 now, lol)
