And as promised the Pagoda that’s in my home town!
Cream Rusk Do-n Tarou Neri Ume Chocolate Umaibo We were nice and shared these with the kids! Awa Dama This grape flavored gum is suggested for blowing bubbles but we tried it and have to say it’s more like a fizzy hard candy! We received one piece in August’s Box which came in the both the regular and family boxes
These little cookies from lotte have pandas printed on them and contain a strawberry chocolate filling that is sweet and tasty. A great treat for the kiddos these came in all Freedom Japanese Market Boxes for August Mini Bottle These mini soda bottles contain a fizzy candy. We love the package and the characters on the package! Definitely a great snack for the kids – this was included in the regular and family boxes for August Mike Popcorn We thought this was going to be root beer flavored and after trying it… realized it’s soy sauce flavored! Totally caught us off guard. Salty and fun this popcorn was included in all regular and family boxes And because the bag is so large there is enough to go around! Melon Soda Gum A box bonus this extra long gum is flavored like melon soda! This gum was included in the regular and family boxes for August Fried Potato These potato sticks are made to look like french fries and have a mild dough-y flavor. These are a great snack for your lunch box and were included in all boxes for August! Baby Gang
This interesting little pack of candy has a hilarious label and the contents are green apple flavored candy that both fizzle and pop… wow! This was in the regular and family sized august boxes
Okashi Na Mizu Ame
This DIY Candy kit mixes together strawberry, soda and lemon flavor candies to create a surprise grape! While typically the candy kits are reserved for the regular and family boxes this kit came in all three boxes this month!
Support Kumamoto Umaibo
This umaibo contains pumpkin corn pottage flavored puffed corn which is sweet and savory all at once!
A yummy treat, this was included in all boxes for August!
So in summary
We look for three things in a subscription box; quality, curation and presentation. The Freedom Japanese Market Box is an awesome way to get the best and most authentic snacks from Japan sent straight to your door each month and shipping is entirely free (worldwide)! The presentation is awesome – we love the list of items as well as the origami and despite our boxes long journey it arrives unscathed. The quality is super. Everything is a real, authentic, Japanese snack! And curation is perfect! We love the variety, that there’a mix of both sweet and savory and that we receive the same items in a different iteration of it’s many flavors which makes it very interesting and almost like a Japanese Pop Culture lesson! We love Freedom Japanese Market!
