That's what my box contained and as you can see, they already filled up my tummy haha
Coming to their individual things.. 1. Christmas Stocking This contains Japanese Sauce Corn snacks and Apple,Grape and Ramune candy! Look at the super cute red shoe :D! I really liked it so much that I am already thinking of a DIY with this.

2. Chibi Thunder Black Thunder's little brother - this one is the white chocolate edition. I have got two of these and the milk chocolate totally tastes like milkmaid and melts in the mouth. It has a center stuffing filled with wafers.

3.Pierre's Roll Cake He's back! As everyone loved the cream version we decided to include the strawberry one too! This looked like a cake to me but in reality it is more like a cream roll. It didn't taste too sweet and hence I liked it too.

4.Shinkansen Lolly Pop A Shinkansen (Bullet Train) themed Grape Lolly Pop. Who'd have thought these existed!? I'm not really a fan of candy style lolly pops as they hurt my tongue especially the candy ones. I am yet to eat this one.

5. Ramen Shop Tarou Chicken Flavour fried Ramen Noodles. Knock-out Snacks! I was a bit confused on to eat them directly or make maggi style noodles. However,the pack is tiny and I ate them just like that and they smelled like normal masala noodles but tasted a bit weird. Chicken flavor may be. But I didn't really liked them.

7. Taiko no Tatsujin Gummies Gummies from the video game! Orange and grape flavor. At first sight they looked like caterpillars but they are actually a set of drums and they resembled the gummy bears in taste.I liked orange flavor more and my mom liked the grape flavor.

8. Choco Balls! The famous choco balls snack - this version is Strawberry. These are kind of ok ok. Chewy balls. I wish they were of a different flavor as I already got the cake in strawberry flavor. Still you can have these when you are bored and want to have some candies.

My Take: The box contained 10 different snacks and in my pack nothing melted. The idea is basically cool. There are people who are crazy over Asian Stuff and they don't really know how to get their food/snacks to try..to taste. Not everything can have a recipe online. So, this guy "Rich" offered me a box to try and I just couldn't say no. For everyone else, the box is available to buy. The TasteJapan is maintained by two British guys who live in Japan. Hence the box is priced in Pounds. That way, it is easier for them to convert the currency etc etc . Each month they send out boxes with the traditional and most desired snacks of Japan. It is a big task and I must say they are doing a wonderful job. The snack packets are written/described in Japanese. Even the ingredients. So, it can be difficult to understand but the Taste Japan is making the things simpler for us by sending out a sheet of paper with few facts regarding Japan and the contents/description of each snack.  Overall Rating: 4.5/5 This is because, you don't really have any clue regarding what snacks you are going to get. It can be vegetarian, non-vegetarian etc. They do not have a theme so everything is picked just random and you can not customize. Rest all, PERFECT! You can subscribe to their box Subscribe Here You can always buy a single box if you are not sure of subscription. **The box is sent by the Taste Japan Club for review. However, my review is honest.
