Best Japanese Snack Box Subscription? Our TOP 4 Picks Reviewed

As Japanese snack lovers, we love buying Japanese snack box subscriptions because they’re tasty and just so much fun to open up every month.

Over the past few years, we’ve tried and reviewed over 20+ Japanese snacks and candy boxes. From all our happy munching, we’ve come up with our top four favourites to help you decide which one is best for you, or if a Japanese snack subscription service is even worth it.

In our unboxing video, we review TokyoTreat vs Bokksu vs Sakuraco vs Japan Candy Box based on 7 key factors.

1. Amount of nibbles in each Japanese snack subscription box
2. The balance between sweet and savoury
3. Is it worth your money? 
4. Unique features
5. Overall experience
6. Who is it best for? 
7. Taste test (probably our favourite part of making videos)

🎁 Link to each mystery Japan snack box subscription we tried*: 

Our best Japanese snack box review is based on the subscription packs we've received so far. Each month’s nibbles are entirely different from the previous months. So, use our review as a rough guide to making your own decision on what's best for you in terms of budget and preference.

✍️ As we mentioned in our Japanese snack review, we really wanted to showcase more variety. But unfortunately, we couldn't get them to arrive all at the same time for video recording. You can find our full review (including some cheaper Amazon options) on our site here:

I actually really like that Japan Candy and Sakuraco use the original packaging; to me, it's part of the "real" Japanese experience. I want to see what other people would see.

I tried to guess what you would pick as your #1 pick and while i agree with you that Sakuraco would would be my personal favorite, i think Tokyo Treat has the widest appeal to the most people with such a WIDE variety! I especially like the drink and ramen in the Tokyo Treat box, as it gives you a chance to kinda try a quick and kinda cheap Japanese themed meal. However i LOVE the more elegant and relaxed overall theme of the Sakuraco box. I have been seriously wanting to try and revive my intrest in tea and i love the little tea cup or saucer or whatever little extra item comes in that box. Honestly, before this year is over I'll probably be subscribed to both Tokyo Treat and Sakuraco. Thank you for all your wonderful research!

We went to Japan this past Summer and loved it so much. We would love to find a way to relive some of the culinary experiences we had and try ones we missed. Love your videos.

Great review guys! Didn't know about Japan Candy Box until now

[claudenewton]

For the Bokksu shipping is free. The others shipping is not. So when you add in the shipping, Bokksu is not that expensive.

[DamZFXBeats]

This is such a good video, UK too! Perfect, thanks for reviewing! :)

Thanks for this video! A really good review that actually helped.

Very thorough video. My wife is Japanese-American and loves shopping in Asian markets for treats. Which one do you think she woukd like for most authentic experience?

[poopikins]

Just what I needed. Looking forward to your future uploads 👍

[rayna]

You should base price points with shipping included. You indicated that Sakuraco was cheaper but they charge about $13 in shipping which puts them average with the others. My only issue with Sakuraco is it's the same snacks month after month just different flavors. I would like to see new items. And my kitchenware is plastic mass produced bowls that are already scratched.

Good video, thanks! I've just subscribed to TokyoTreat but may have to give Sakuraco a try, some time!

[byronchandler]

All those Japanese snacks are just too good to resist, cuz I'm a Midwestern American who love international snacks, especially from Germany, Japan, Sweden, and Brazil. 😋😋😋

[shadowblaze]

The first box you get from Bokksu is an intro box, that's why there was no theme.

[francejoseph]

I must agree that the Seasons of Japan box is kinda weak, but their actually themed boxes are AMAZING.

[mellowtofu]

Bokksu got beautiful packaging, but the price is too expensive and doesn't live up to what they claim.

[SoulKilla]

I tried tokyo treat and mashi box both were good.
