The February Kawaii Monthly has arrived from Japan! It took a little longer to get here due to the snow in both Japan and the United States. This box is $18.99 with free world-wide shipping. Kawaii Monthly is a project of Oyatsu Cafe. Every month you get five kawaii themed items.
Tohato Caramel Corn Chocolate ($3.49) ~ This is a bag of chocolate flavored puffed corn. It tastes great! The caramel corn is sweet and very light. If you're intrigued with Japanese food, you have to check out OyatsuBox by Oyatsu Cafe. It is a monthly subscription box jam packed with Japanese candy and snacks.
Japanese Calligraphy Pen ($3.99) ~ This is a modern version of the traditional calligraphy pen. It is known as a "Fudepen". It has a brush-like nib that writes directly from the ink reservoir.
Shugi-Bukuro ($5) ~ We have gift card holders, the Japanese have Shugi-bukuro. This is a special envelope for money. These gift envelopes are usually given at weddings and other Japanese festivities. The outer wrapping of the envelope is very thick and elaborate. The ribbon (mizuhiki) is crafted from rice paper.
Hello Kitty Face Mask ($2.45) ~ Face masks protect against dust, pollen, and germs. They are very popular Japanese accessories. There are three white disposable face masks with pink pictures of Hello Kitty in the package. They have two ear loops to fasten around your ear.
Konnyaku Sponge ($6) ~ This is an all natural luxury face sponge made from the konnyaku or konjac potato plant. It has a great water-holding ability and special elastic properties that massage your face as you wash it. The konnyaku sponge is considered to be a natural exfoliator and suitable for all skin types.
This information sheet was also in the Kawaii Monthly box. It is very detailed and easy to understand. We have learned quite a lot about the Japanese culture with this box. My daughter loves beauty products and will enjoy the konnyaku sponge. She is already using the fude pen. All of the prices listed are estimates. In my opinion, this is a fun box worth trying out!
