Everything inside my March 2021 box!
Pokemon Hinamatsuri Choco Corn. These Pikachu shaped chocolate puffs are perfectly delicious straight from the pack but you can also enjoy them with a tall glass of milk. The packaging features a limited edition design to celebrate Japan’s Girl’s Day, and it’s just too cute!
Calbee Osaka Ginger Tempura Flavor. This pack of potato chips features the flavors of Osaka’s soul food, which is red pickled ginger. Each piece is crunchy, with savory and slightly sour notes that I loved.
DoraChoco. Here’s a traditional Japanese treat known as dorayaki! These pancakes are filled with a generous chocolate filling to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. They make an ideal breakfast snack, especially when paired with a hot drink!
Baby Kaki Mochi. They also sent me a pack of rice cracker snack that makes a good addition to any bento box. These salty pieces are really fun to eat and the crunchy texture is truly satisfying!
Caramel Corn Hinamatsuri Peach Flavor. Tohato’s caramel corn is often featured in Tokyo Treat boxes. This time, they sent the peach variant and they were pretty good. Each piece was light and airy, plus the sweetness is not overwhelming!
Texas Corn Okonomiyaki. This soft corn snack is inspired by the popular Japanese food called okonomiyaki, which is traditionally made with cabbage, egg, meat, cheese, onion, and seafood. I liked how savory it was! It also makes a great pair with soda!
DonDonYaki Sauce Flavor. Here’s another pack of savory munchies, and this time, the crackers are infused with tonkatsu sauce flavor which is similar to Worcestershire sauce in taste. It was good and the crunchiness of the crackers is simply satisfying!
Tarō-Beans.This pack also contains crackers with a deliciously salty flavor. The packaging features a cute traditional folk tale character, Momotaro or Peach Boy!
Porickey German Potato Flavor. Porickey is similar to Pocky! These pretzel sticks make great on-the-go snacks since they are easy and not messy to eat. The Porickey pack I received is in German potato flavor, and it’s perfectly salty.
Yakisoba Tarō. These dried noodles are meant to be enjoyed as is. They are yakisoba-flavored, so they are on the savory side!
Umaibō Tonkatsu. Umaibo is a cylindrical corn snack that comes in different flavors. This month’s featured umaibo is tonkatsu sauce flavored, which tastes savory with a hint of sweetness.
Melon Pandaro Cookie. It’s a panda-shaped cookie, infused with a refreshing melon flavor. It’s not just cute, it’s also pretty sweet!
Spicy Japanese Grain Crackers. They didn’t forget to add a spicy snack as well! This one is a pack of grain crackers that boasts of intense heat, making it a great snack to munch on with a glass of cold beer.
Pudding Daifuku. This is another familiar sweet treat, which I’ve also received from previous boxes. It’s Daifuku, a soft marshmallow that has a pudding filling. It makes a nice dessert for a bento meal!
Pringles Miso Cup Ramen Flavor. This is Japan’s first miso ramen flavored Pringles and it’s a limited variant! The crunch and the texture of the potato chips are good, and I think they did a great job of capturing the salty, savory, and tangy flavors of an authentic miso ramen. This would be a great treat for ramen fans!
Asahi Melon Cream Soda. Since this is a Premium box, it includes a delicious drink from Japan! This month, it’s melon cream soda, which tastes exactly like fresh melon juice with added vanilla ice cream on top. It’s a sweet drink and I enjoyed every sip of it!
KitKat Peach Parfait. My box would not be complete without KitKats! This time, they sent the peach parfait variant which is only available in Japan. The wafers are as crunchy and delicious as always, while the coating tastes like a mix of vanilla ice cream and peach! They came in individual wrappers, which is great if you want to share snacks or simply save some for later.
Delicious Japanese snacks are within our reach, thanks to Tokyo Treat! I’m loving the spring-themed March box, which includes a lot of savory crackers, plus some peach flavored snacks and a refreshing melon drink. There are a lot of familiar snacks as well, such as the umaibo, pretzel sticks, and melon cookie. I’m not complaining though, because they are really good! If you’re a heavy snacker, you’d probably love the Premium box because of the amount of snacks it has. Meanwhile, if you prefer to receive fewer snacks, you can opt for the Classic box instead. Either way, it’s a fun and exciting snack box and they only send authentic goodies from Japan!
