I just received the very first OyatsuBox from Oyatsu Cafe in Chiba, Japan! It took a little over two weeks to get here, but I think the weather and President's Day slowed down the shipping process. This box is $25 a month, with free world-wide shipping. Since shipping is free, there are no tracking numbers or shipment notifications. February's box contains 11 unique candy and snack items.
Thank goodness the box comes with a description sheet!
Dagashi Super Pack ~ This big multi-pack lets you try 10 kinds of Dagashi (classic Japanese snacks). Included are Umaibo (mentai & cheese flavors), Mochi-taro, Choco Daifuku, Kakinotane-Choco, Classic Grape Gum, UmaiJelly, Happy Pandaro, and a very cute and rare Mini-Umaibo (roasted corn flavor).
Festival Pineapple Hi-Chew ~ This special edition of Hi-Chew tastes just like the pineapple eaten at Japanese Street Festivals. Each piece is infused with sweet hard candy bits, which give each piece an extra burst of flavor.
Black Black Mints ~ Black Black Mints are super strong with a big dose of caffeine! Perfect for studying or long nights of work. Each pack contains 50 mints in a cool plastic case.
Russian Roulette Gum ~ A totally unique invention and great fun to play with your friends! Each pack contains three pieces of chewing gum. Two pieces have a sweet and delicious liquid center and one piece is insanely sour.
LOOK Sparkling Lemonade Chocolate ~ Each piece of delicious chocolate is infused with a Lemonade flavor that actually fizzes and sparkles as you eat it.
BIG Black Thunder ~ Black Thunder is a Japanese chocolate bar with the tagline, "Delicious taste in a flash of lightning!" This BIG version is for the serious fan and bears the tagline "Double the lightning strike!"
Big Katsu ~ This fun snack emulates the breadcrumb coating on Japanese Katsu (cutlet). The large flat strip is slightly spicy, with a texture similar to American beef jerky.
Peach Pocky~ This peach flavor Pocky's packaging features a character from Kobito-Zukan (Dwarf Encyclopedia), which are little dwarves inhabiting Japan.
One Piece Gum & Poster ~ One Piece is the anime series that has taken the world by storm. OyatsuBox is proud to present the awesome box of One Piece gum and a bonus collectable poster.
Strawberry Kit Kat ~ This Japanese only version of the world-wide favorite features the classic Kit Kat wafer biscuit covered in a deliciously sweet strawberry cream chocolate.
Pokemon White Chocolate Corn Puffs ~ Pokemon shaped corn puffs with a white chocolate flavor! Each pack comes with a limited edition sticker featuring your favorite Pokemon characters.
Overall, my whole family is very excited to try everything in this box. I really don't care about the value of the Oyatsubox, because I'm more interested in the experience it provides. My kids have now received a package from Japan, seen Japanese products (writing and all), and will get to try some very different candies and snacks. I consider this experience worth the $25!
