TokyoTreat is a Japanese treat box that is shipped directly from Japan. For 2018, TokyoTreat has once again revamped the box.
- There are now only two box sizes — Classic ($22.50) and Premium ($31.50). As always, shipping is free worldwide.
- The Classic box includes 12 items altogether — 4 popular snacks, 4 share packs (new), 2 dagashi snacks, 1 DIY candy kit, and 1 kinosei (quirky) snack.
- The Premium box includes 17 items — 5 popular snacks, 1 party pack (new), 4 share packs (new), 3 dagashi snacks, 1 anime snack (new), 1 DIY candy kit, 1 kinosei snack, 1 drink.
- There is no longer a paper magazine included, it is all digital/online now.
It’s an interesting change. The DIY kit was previously exclusive to the Premium box, so now all subscribers can enjoy it. The guaranteed anime snack might now be motivation for someone to pick the premium box, as well as the party pack. The share packs are basically small pouches of one snack to share with friends in a smaller size, while the party pack seems to be one big bag of something to share.

This is a review of the Premium box. The magazine has been replaced with an info card.
There’s a password to access the snack info, but to be honest this seems pointless — I received my box December 15, and by that point the password protected section was actually for January – the December box was listed and revealed in multiple locations on the website.
Rich Matcha Kit Kat Party Kit (Premium Only) — Japan is famous for their crazy Kit Kat flavours. I’m not a huge matcha fan so these aren’t my absolute favourite but they’re still nice and light. This is a big bag of them, plenty to share!
Savoury Salt Potato Chips — I first tasted just salt in these potato chips, but they actually have a light seaweed flavour as well. It’s barely noticeable but it’s there. I liked these chips even if they were a bit plain.
Happy Turn Rice Crackers Party Pack — Four pouches of rice crackers. They are light and salty. Four packs are included so you can share with friends.
BBQ Skon (Premium Only) — One of my all-time favourites. Skon are a hard and crunchy corn snack (think Cheetos) and have a Japanese BBQ flavour that’s so addicting.
Kimchi Rice Cakes — Japan and Korea met in a kimchi flavour rice cake treat! I am excited to try these.
Strawberry Flavour Corn Crisps — Corn snacks with a strawberry flavour. These aren’t my favourite but they were still fun to snack on.
Memory Enhancing Gum — This gum contains gingko biloba which is an herb that can help with memory. It’s a cool idea!
DIY Kit — I have done this kit before, and it’s a bit tedious! You definitely need patience. You use candy in various colours to fill in the little dots, creating drawings and pictures. Then you pour another layer of clear candy overtop to combine everything into one big gummy.
Pokemon Gummy and Card (Premium Only) — The Premium box will always include an anime item now. We were sent a Pokemon gummy with a card for the trading card game. My friend’s kids loves Pokemon, so I think he will love this treat from Japan!
Sour Cider Candy (Premium Only) — A long and flat cider flavoured gummy. In Japan cider isn’t alcoholic, it’s basically a lemony drink. It’s sweet and sour and this was really fun to eat.
Christmas Umaibo — A corn potage flavoured umaibo with a holiday packaging.
Strawberry Hard Candies — Hard candies with a wild strawberry flavour.
Pear Fanta (Premium Only) — Sparkling pear-flavoured soda. I loved this and didn’t find it overly sweet.
Grape Chocobi — Corn snacks with a sweet grape flavour.
Tokyo Treat continues to evolve but still delivers a solid snack experience. I’m happy to see some larger sizes included to share.
