Sakura Mochi KitKats. Limited edition KitKats are already a staple in every Tokyo Treat box! This month, we got Sakura Mochi, which features their trademark crunchy wafer cookies covered with luscious milk chocolate blended with sweet red-bean flavor. There’s a total of 12 individually-wrapped bite-sized KitKat in each pack, perfect for sharing with your family and friends!
Sakura Milk Caramel Corn. Here’s another staple snack in our box! This version of Tohato Caramel Corn features delicious caramel puffs blended with unique sakura and milk flavor. These corn puffs are light, airy, and very sweet, making the perfect snack to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings!
Sakura Scented Nectar Peach. Japan’s most popular peach juice is made from the unique combination of white peach puree and Japan-grown sakura extracts. We got a bottle of this drink this month and we absolutely loved it. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, just the perfect refreshing taste that fits the season!
Mr. Onion Snacks. These puffed balls are strongly flavored with onion. Each piece is crispy and tasty, once you start popping it in your mouth, it’s hard to stop. This snack also pairs well with soda!
Mashrō. It’s a fluffy Japanese marshmallow snack with cute pastel colors that resemble flowers blooming in spring. This is definitely one of the softest, chewiest, and most flavorful marshmallows we have ever tasted.
Sakura Pocky. It’s a limited edition version of Pocky, which is also sakura-themed! Each crunchy pretzel stick is coated with creamy and tasty sakura-flavored chocolate. The box contains four packs, making it great for sharing as well.
Wasabi Cheetos. If you love spicy snacks and Cheetos, this is definitely the perfect snack for you. This version of Cheetos features their trademark crunchy corn stick snacks blended with spicy wasabi and luscious cheese flavor that makes each piece so enjoyable. It’s totally satisfying.
Aji Curry Chips. These crispy twisted chips feature a well-balanced taste from the blend of cheese and curry flavor. Each piece is airy and flavorful. It has a kick of spiciness in every bite and it’s really good.
Yamato Salty Fries. Potato stick fries are one of the most famous snacks in Japan. They do taste like regular French fries! Each piece is crunchy and tasty, with just enough saltiness. It’s a great snack for when you’re watching TV!
Turtle Crackers. This turtle snack doesn’t really contain turtle or any turtle-related ingredients. It’s just that their shape resembles that of a turtle. Each piece is a bit salty but definitely tasty!
Taiarare Crackers. Each cracker is shaped like Tai, a traditional Japanese red snapper fish, and packed with complex flavor. They actually have a sweet glaze over them and reminded me of a sweetened puffy cereal.
Chocolate Umaibō. Umaibo is a popular corn snack! This is the sweet and chocolatey version, which makes a great picker-upper or an on-the-go snack.
New Mochi Tarō Snacks. Mochitaro is a known dagashi snack, or an inexpensive and relatively small Japanese snack. They are normally made with wheat flour and starch, deep-fried to become crispy and crunchy. The one’s we received are yummy and addicting!
Banana Man. It’s another marshmallow snack and this time it features a sweet banana-flavored coating and creamy chocolate filling. This was so fluffy!
Sour Cider Gummies. This cola-flavored gummy candy is showered with mouthwatering sour sugar. It’s refreshing and easy to chew on!
Salty Full Moon Pon. Sweet and spicy soy sauce made this crispy rice flour cracker quite flavorful. It’s may be a small snack but it’s definitely satisfying. It’s also a perfect snack to pair with any type of cold beverage!
Pandaro Butter Cookies. This panda-shaped biscuit is too cute! Each cookie features a different mood, like happy, sad, perplexed, etc. I absolutely like its sophisticated and delicious butter flavor, it’s so rich and creamy!
Tokyo Treat is always jampacked and this month is no different. The theme Sakura Snacktime was well-represented by a variety of sakura-flavored snacks as well as other sweet and delicious treats. We loved everything in the box, most especially the KitKat that features a scrumptious blend of sakura and milk chocolate. It suits the season well and it makes us more curious about the Japanese spring traditions. If you love Japanese snacks, this subscription is a great way to discover authentic goodies from Japan!
