The July 2017 Freedom Japanese Market included the following items:
~Sugar Rusk and GyuTan Umaibo: Sugar Rusk is a twice baked sugary bread flavored puffed corn while GyaTan is a Cow Tongue flavored. Yep, you read that right. For whatever reason I decided to sample these before I read the descriptions. Probably for the best as I never would have tried the GyaTan had I known what it was. Spoiler Alert – it wasn’t good. LOL! I don’t know what cow tongue tastes like, but the Umaibo was an interesting combination of salty and spicy. The Sugar Rusk was great though. Very tasty and I would certainly have that again!
~Ichigo Mugi: These are strawberry flavored chocolates. Quite tasty and the kind of snack you could eat an entire bag of without realizing.
~Onigiri Senbei: Soy sauce flavored rice crackers shaped like rice balls. They were more triangles than balls, but they were soy sauce flavored. Not bad, but not the best either.
~Lucky Cone: These don’t have much of a flavor other than salt, but I loved them.
~Cream Collon: Stop everything. These are amazing. They are light and flakey and have an incredible lemon flavor. I’d say they rank in the top 10 subscription box snacks ever.
~Suica no Tane Ramune: Watermelon flavored ramune candies that look like seeds. They didn’t look like watermelon seeds to me, but I liked the flavor!
~Uracara Corn: These have popped up in a few Freedom Japanese boxes in different flavors, and I love trying them. These particular ones are garlic flavored, and I couldn’t get enough. These are another snack I would love to see sold in the US.
~Gummy Vitamin C: Your daily dose of Vitamin C in a gummy! I’m game for these!
~Cocoa Bolo: I found Cocoa Boloto be similar to Cocoa Puffs, with a tad less flavor. Still yummy though!
~Umi no Ikimono Gummy: We have the worst luck with making gummy snacks. I think our water ratio is off? They are always fun to attempt though.
~Ostumami Time: Another soy sauce flavored snack! The shape makes them look almost like walnuts, but they are a crunchy rice snack.
~Soda Gum: This is a long stick of soda flavored gum! I don’t even like gum, but I liked this!
I didn’t do a cost breakdown on this box, but I loved the variety! What do you think of Freedom Japanese Market? If you are interested in subscribing, you can check them out here.
