Kyō Ceramic Platter and Cherry Blossom Mochi 

The first spoiler for this Journee is the Kyo Ceramic Platter! Ceramics from Kyoto, known as Kyo ware, have been famous for their color and beauty for hundreds of years. This platter is inspired by that legacy, which continues today!

In this JourneeBox you’ll find traditional, cherry blossom flavored mochi, made in Japan just for you. Their traditional red bean paste filling and rice cake texture will transport you to ancient Kyoto. They’ll serve as a reminder to celebrate the sweet things in life!

The Kyoto Jewelry Collection (choose 1 out of 4)

Springtime in Kyoto is one of the most beautiful times of the year: the city comes alive with sakura (cherry blossoms), pink petals falling through the air like warm snow, and many people go flower viewing. Intricate sensu or Ogi (folding fans) can be seen as the heat grows, and at many kinds of ceremonies. Carry a piece of Kyoto from this Kevia jewelry selection! Choose from 1 of 4 options when you customize.

Kevia Matcha Tea!

To carry a bit of that sweetness and Zen home to you, this JourneeBox includes two packets of matcha. Made in Japan, this matcha is perfect for contemplative mornings or slow summer afternoons. 100% green tea leaves, use this matcha to make tea, or add to your cooking for an authentic Kyoto flavor.

Kevia Papaya & Seaweed Scrub

In this JourneeBox, our Kevia Papaya & Seaweed Scrub will bring the rejuvenation of the Kyoto Journee right to your own home!

Traditional Furoshiki Wrapping Cloth

    Did anyone else get two shipment emails? Hoping they aren’t accidentally sending me two boxes!

    Got an email last night saying customization was open and inviting me to subscribe. Umm, I am a subscriber. I emailed to request the link and password and haven’t heard back yet. Just crossing my fingers my choices aren’t sold out when I hear back.

      Amy – I had this experience too – waiting for a response to my email!

        I’m glad I’m not the only one!
        It’s frustrating when we’ve looked forward to this box for so long. I texted my husband last night with “big news—here’s a hint: 🏯” and he immediately responded “Kyoto box customization is open??” 😂. Then when I realized I couldn’t do it yet, I was, shall we say, disappointed.

    Heads up that customization emails have gone out. Mine was in my spam folder.

    Another spoiler was announced on 7/30: Papaya Seaweed Face Scrub.

    This is one of the boxes I’m *always* looking at but not buying. To be fair, I’m kind of on box restriction between a big move and a new job so I’m stretching my peenies a bit more than normal. But every time I look at the spoilers/reviews for this box, I get excited.

    I like all the spoilers for this box. Might have to spring for it. I’ve been obsessing over the Furoshiki bags in particular.

    I love the video add ons- wish they were both free. Interesting concept that adds to the experience.
