This month’s box is a collaboration with Sword Art Online!
Sword Art Online is a famous Japanese anime that focuses on various virtual reality MMORPG worlds!
As always, there are LOTS of snacks in this box!
The box includes an information booklet!
Featured at the back of the booklet is the newest character of Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, Medina Orthinanos! She has a calm and relaxed personality but an aggressive attitude when it comes to battle.
According to this booklet, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris game will be released on May 22, 2020!
Inside the booklet is a chart of contents that lists all the snacks from three different box sizes. There are 3 different subscription levels available: The Mini includes 5 items, the Original includes those items PLUS another 5 items, and the Premium includes those 10 items PLUS another 5 items.
Instead of its usual food and cultural information about Japan, the booklet includes activities like a word search and a maze!
Featured on the bottom of the box are some cute characters of Sword Art Online!
Everything in my March 2020 box!
Sword Art Online Keychain. This month’s bonus item is an exclusive keychain from SOA, which features Alice Zuberg!
The back of the keychain informs us that this item is a product of the collaboration between Bandai and Japan Crate!
Black Honey And Matcha Tohato Caramel Corn. It’s a limited-edition version of Tohato’s caramel corn snacks! The puffy, lightweight and airy corn snack we love is blended with black honey and matcha latte. If you’re a fan of matcha, you’ll probably like this one because you can really taste the matcha flavor in every bite!
Pudding Daifuku. This soft, creamy, and delicious chocolate pudding is made with marshmallows with sweet chocolate in the middle. It’s the perfect dessert treat!
Constellation Choco Cookie. Each cracker is covered with sweet, creamy chocolate and also features a unique zodiac symbol. The design looks so cute and the taste is fantastic! Only one side of the cookie is covered, which makes them easy and neat to eat.
Tiny Gummy. This cola-flavored gummy features such cute designs based on one of the oldest and most famous games played all over the world, Rock Paper and Scissors game! We got Rock! It was also pretty tasty and flavorful, too bad there’s only one piece in the box.
Choco Animals. The candies came in a cute black cat packaging! When you open the box, you’ll get another plastic packaging containing 12 pieces of luscious and colorful chocolate balls.
Wasabi Cheetos. We love Cheetos and spicy snacks, so we were excited about getting a wasabi-flavored one! This features their trademark crunchy corn stick snacks, with cheese and wasabi flavor that makes each piece zingy. It was really good and satisfying!
Fruit Stand Chewy Candy DIY. This month’s featured DIY kit is fruit shop-themed! It includes 2 molds, soft candies, and cardstock fruit stand. All you have to do is to place the soft candy inside the mold, push both sections, remove, and put the candies on the fruit stand. It’s that easy!
Sour Cider Candy. It’s a long and chewy sour candy showered with sugar coating. This easily satisfied our sour food cravings!
Key Choco. Packed in foil that’s shaped like a key, we got candy-coated chocolate candies in different colors. They’re yummy and tasty!
Lifeguard Gum. To help us get through the afternoon slump, they also included with these amazing energy boosting chewing gums in the box. Each piece contains 7 amino acids to keep you awake, plus a flavor similar to those of Japanese energy drinks!
Truffle Choco And Vanilla Kinokoyama. These mushroom-shaped treats are as sweet and creamy as ice cream! It has a delectable combination of chocolate truffle and vanilla flavor, with a crunchy cookie that serves as the mushroom’s stem. Inside the box are 8 pieces of individually packed treats, perfect for sharing with friends and family!
Bottle Sour. This potion vial contains small pieces of sweet and sour candies. It can be consumed as is or used as toppings on desserts. This is also available in mana (blue) and vitality (green)!
Nuts And Berries Ruby KitKats. KitKat is a staple snack in our box, and this month’s version of KitKats is pretty unique because they aren’t in the usual wafer form but in bite-sized pieces. The flavor is also limited-edition, with the tasty milk chocolate blended with delicious nuts and ruby berries. It’s so tasty and very flavorful, and I think it’s one of the best KitKat versions we’ve tried. They’re also easy to munch on, making them great on-the-go snacks!
Peach Ninja Candy. These are peach-flavored candies with a crispy outer shell and a chewy center. They’re quite flavorful! There’s a refreshing burst of peach on your first bite, and it just gets better as you chew!
Gum Sword. Here’s another treat in unique packaging and it’s perfect for this month’s theme as it’s sword-shaped! Inside the sword packaging is the colorful candies. They’re pretty small but still tasty!
Dutch Candy Flowers. How cute are these flower-themed candies! The cute candy bouquet includes 3 lollipops in different flavors: sweet lemon, peach, and apple flavor. They were also sweet.
Mountain Dew Grape. This version of Mountain Dew is limited-edition! They blended the sparkling lemon drink with grape flavor and it was so good. This is such a refreshing drink to cool you down on a hot day.
Japan Crate is truly fun! We are always impressed with their unique selection of Japanese snacks. This month, there are various flavors to satisfy every craving, like sweet, spicy, and sour. This is also a good box to share with family and friends because it’s always jampacked. The Premium box includes a drink, enough to wash down all the snacks you’ve just tried! Whether you’re a fan of Japanese snacks or you’re just feeling adventurous and you want to try snacks you’ve never seen before, this box is definitely for you! If you think it’s too big for you, then you can also start out by trying the Mini box or the Original box!
