OyatsuBox, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a Japanese candy subscription box. Each month you will receive over a pound of candy, snacks & authentic Japanese food & merchandise delivered to your door. They also offer an OyatsuBox Jr. Box, which is $7.99/month and includes 2-3 items.
OyatsuBox ships directly from Japan at the beginning of every month. Boxes generally take 2-3 weeks to arrive to their destination.
Just as promised, the box was packed full of candy! I was excited to dig through and se what everything was.
I was quite pleased to see that the OyatsuBox came with an information card! When you can’t read the labels on the items, it’s always nice to have a card to guide you. Here is what was included:
~Japanese Kit Kat Green Tea Matcha: I have gotten these in the past and every time I try them I think I am going to like them. I never do. LOL. L tried them for the first time and, on his first bite he declared them to be amazing. On his second bite he changed his mind. It takes a minute for the green tea flavor to hit you!
~Pocky Kuchidoke: Love these! They are made with rich hot cocoa and taste great in a warm drink.
~Neru Neru Nerune – Otanoshimi: I have never gotten a Japanese candy making kit before, but I have always wanted to get one. L and I “made” the candies (you pour the powder in and mix with water) and he thought it was super fun to do. Love this!
~PuyoPuyo Tetris Gummies: These are gummy candies and come in a bunch of flavors. I am actually saving them for a stocking stuffer for L because they are totally his type of thing.
~Calpis Marshmallows: I wasn’t a fan of these, but L thought they were amazing. He saw them on the counter and NEEDED to try them immediately. They have some odd filling in them which he thought was amazing and I thought, well, I didn’t think it was amazing.
~Doreamon Ramune Gum: This is going to be another stocking stuffer for L. The information card doesn’t say exactly what the flavor of this is, but I am guessing it’s some sort of blue soda?
~Japanese Rice Cracker: This packaging makes even a rice cracker look like candy. Well some people might consider this to be a special treat. I don’t really though.
~Chicken and Egg Lunch Soup: I haven’t made this yet, but I am excited for it. You just put it in a mug and add hot water and it’s done!
I didn’t do a cost breakdown for this box, but I thought it was one of the best snack Japanese boxes I have gotten. The snacks were (mainly) like nothing I have gotten before and like nothing I have seen here. Totally unique and super fun.
