Snakku brings you the best, high-quality snacks from Japan. Each box includes 10 – 15 expertly curated Japanese snacks delivered right to your door.

Snakku ships via USPS Priority Mail on a monthly basis.  This gorgeous box (seriously this packaging ) comes inside of a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box and was so fun to open.

The cut-off date for that month’s Snakku box is the 10th of every month. They try to ship out all the boxes by around the 15th of every month.

The July 2016 Snakku box included the following items:

~Wasabi Ranch Snow Pea Crisps: I think these are the exact same ones we have in the States, except with different packing.  If anything, these are better.  They aren’t crazy hot, but they have a great flavor.

~Hato Sabure: These are butter cookies.  They aren’t quite like butter cookies in the US – they are lighter.  But very very good.

~Bakauke Aonori:These are rice crackers covered in “Aomori” which is a blue seaweed.  Honesty if I didn’t read that they were seaweed, I would never have known.  I didn’t find them to be super flavorful, but they were okay.

~Fukkura Okoge: How do you think you say the name of these?  LOL!!  They are “rice grain sense glazed lightly with soy sauce then baked in a clay kiln”.  They were play.  Again, not something I would go out of my way to find.

~Moringa Cookie: These cookies are green (like Christmas cookie green)!  They have a green tea flavor with a Hokkaido red bean cream inside.  They were interesting.  Not good, not bag – interesting.

~Honey Apple Pie: These were delicious.  They are flaky apple pie and honey flavored cookies.

~Bourbon Baum Rolls: Hmm.  This is a “vanilla glazed mini baumkuchen roll”.  I almost felt like I should be sculpting it into something. Once I got past the texture, I did find them to be tasty.

~Kurumiko and Kintsuba: Kurumiko (the one with the squirrel on it) is a caramel and chestnut snack and is amazing.  Now, let’s talk about the Kintsuba.  That’s the other one.  According to the information card it’s a red bean paste wrapped in a thinly stretched flour dough and then baked on a copper plate to give it it’s shape.  I just can’t though.  It looks so unattractive and I am scared. LOL!  If you have tried this, tell me if I am missing out!

~Kamakura Hydrangea Cookie: These cookies are made out of hydrangea essence. They have a light floral taste and, while for sure a new taste for me, I enjoyed trying them.

~Flower’s Kiss Candy: These are creamy apricot-plum hard candies infused with flower essence.  I have no idea if the different packaging means they taste different, but I thought they were all the same.
