I had to get my TokyoTreat review up quickly and didn’t have time to try everything so here’s some mini reviews of a few other items. This box is still available to buy for one more day!
I loved the Kobe sparkling apple juice, even though it isn’t really any different from normal fizzy apple juice. It’s fun to try unexpected flavours but familiar ones are nice to receive too.
Nicolette & my mum weren’t impressed with the Mini peach ramune but I really liked them. Just little crumbly sweets with a nice peach flavour. It’s a shame the container isn’t resealable as they’d be perfect to pop in your bag.
I’ve had the Yamato curry senbei before and would buy them all the time if I could - crunchy sticks with a strong Japanese curry flavour.
I’m usually fine with what Japan considers spicy but these Wasabi potato snacks were way too much for me. I could barely manage a tiny nibble!
If you’re a kawaii maker, designer or shop owner we’d love to hear from you! Fill out our submission form and tell us a little about you and what you do and we’l keep you in mind for future blog features.
