Let’s take a look first at the Japanese candies! Lotte Pikachu Gummy are Pikachu-shaped gummies in grape flavor. They are soft and sweet, totally a win not just for Pokemon fans but also for gummy candy lovers like me. Another grape-flavored candy is Meiji Kaju Gummy! This one is shaped like a bunch of small grapes. The refreshing fruity flavor is bursting in every chew. The next candy is Coris Whistle Candy, and I received them in cola flavor. In case you’re wondering, yes you can whistle your favorite songs through its hole. Each pack also comes with a fun surprise toy!
Here’s a look at the gummy candies in the box! The Pikachu gummies are lighter and color and the Meiji ones are darker. Both are sweet and refreshing.
If you loved the whistle Coris whistles, here’s another unique candy for you: Meisan Pachi Pachi Panic Candy! It’s a popping candy, which means when you put the crunchy candy pieces in your mouth, they will start popping.
It has a combination of grape and ramune soda flavors! They are fun to eat, and a hit with the kids as well.
It’s time to munch on the chips! Calbee Sapporo Potato is a pack of small potato sticks flavored with vegetables. They are light and flavorful, making them a delight to munch on while watching TV! Another snack from Calbee is JagaRico Hokkaido Butter. They are also potato sticks, but they’re crunchy on the outside and crispy inside. They’re also flavored with delicious Hokkaido butter.
Of course, we also have a traditional snack, the Japanese Rice Crackers. They were deep-fried and they look like crunchy golden shells. The flavor is a great balance of sweet and salty! Craving for potato chips? There’s Calbee My Potato Chip Himalayan Pink Salt in the box, which can be enjoyed alone or with any dip you like. The Himalayan pink salt gives the chips flavor without being too salty or overpowering.
The box also includes a bunch of biscuits! There’s Petit Demon Slayer Langue de Chat, a limited-edition snack that features characters from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. I received Tsuguko! Also, these tasty biscuits have a yummy chocolate filling! From the same company that produced the langue de chat, we have Bourbon Biscuits Choco & Coffee. It’s perfect for coffee lovers as they mixed creamy chocolate with coffee for the filling. The Meiji Fran Cacao Chocolate Butter Biscuits reminds me of Pocky, except these are thicker! The biscuit sticks have a dark chocolate coating, and they make a perfect pair with a hot beverage.
Here’s a look at all the biscuits! My favorite among them is the langue de chat. They are small, but they are so yummy!
Great choice of snacks in this month’s Treats box! The goodies from Japan included everything from candies to chips to cookies, which appeal to snackers of all ages. As promised the Premium box has more than 10 snacks, which is great if you’re sharing the box with a friend or a loved one. If I have to choose a favorite, it would be the langue de chat and the potato chips with Himalayan salt, but the rest of the Japanese snacks were also pretty good. Overall, I’m happy with this box and I’m excited for future international snacking adventures with Treats!
