My Favorite Snacks From This Month’s TokyoTreat Box

Salted Caramel KitKats

• Salted Caramel KitKats

  KitKats are generally a safe choice, though I'm not always a fan of salted caramel. However, this one was well-balanced, sweet without being overly sweet or salty, and it had a strong chocolate finish.

• Pai no Mi Maple Butter Bites

  This snack kind of blew my mind. First, as soon as you open the package, the intense aroma of maple syrup hits you, truly mouthwatering. The crispy, flaky exterior made it awesome to bite into, then revealing a soft, sweet, and melting interior. Absolutely delicious! My favorite snack hands down.

  
  

  

  Pai no Mi Maple Butter Bites & Karinto Fried Bites

• Karinto Fried Bites

A crispy snack that's both savory and sweet. At first, I couldn't quite identify the flavors, but now I'm eager to try real Karinto because it reminded me of a sweeter, fried curry.

Sour Lemon Gummies

• Sour Lemon Gummies

This was a refreshing and sour treat. The lemon flavor was natural and zesty. The sourness was intense yet pleasant. I can't wait to find this snack when we go to Japan and enjoy it throughout our trip!

Is TokyoTreat Worth It?

I would say yes!

Pricing Breakdown:

My box for a monthly plan, a base price of $37.50 increased to about $57.78 due to shipping, taxes, and duties. If we divide $57.78 by 13 snacks, it would be about $4.36 per snack. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering finding these snacks at home are difficult or impossible to find and if you do they are expensive. At our local farmer's market, they sell Japanese KitKats that are imported between $12 to $17 alone.

Best For:

• This box is ideal for individuals who actively seek out and buy Japanese-exclusive snacks in their own country. They understand how rare these snacks are and how quickly the costs can accumulate.

• It's perfect for those wanting to sample and become acquainted with these snacks before their trip, or for those who dearly miss the convenience store snacks from Japan and need them immediately to survive between trips.

• It's also a great gift for your friends or family in those situation.

Not For:

• I wouldn't recommend this box to anyone who isn't open to trying new flavors.

• Those looking for more budget-friendly subscription boxes or has easy access to reasonably priced Japanese snacks in their own country.

Final Thoughts on TokyoTreat

My overall experience was fun and satisfying. Just seeing the vibrant box at our door was exciting, and sampling all the snacks brought back memories of our visits to the conbini in Japan. Experiencing new snacks without knowing their taste and being surprised by their texture and flavor is incredibly fun. My favorite aspect is finding new snacks to try on our next visit, which builds the anticipation for our upcoming trip to Japan. I would recommend this to all my fellow nostalgic Japan travelers and newcomers who want to be prepared with some experience.
