Let's move onto the box, shall we?

Here are the items inside the box: (Link to the premium list of items)


Tanoshii Cakeya-San: I preferred the vanilla flavor than the strawberry one. This was a fun DIY! Too bad the cones and wafer tasted stale :(.

Happy Kitchen Hamburger


Kiss Mint

Cool Mint Gum: Ooo, this will be useful when I'm studying.
The bottom left item was was not listed on the gashapon list. (Bonus item?): I definitely liked this one.

Saru no Mori (Doki Doki Puchi Saru): I'm not even sure if this is gum, since the texture tasted like it. But, I did not like this one. It had more of a banana like flavor than pineapple.


Pokémon Gummy: A Pokemon snack! Yay! :D I feel sorta bad, it's as if I'm eating a Pokemon egg (I believe it's Diancie's headpiece?). But I really enjoy the lemonade flavor.

Pokémon Ramune: Another one?! C: Eh. Even though it's Pokémon, I didn't eat all the flavors. The cola flavor was okay.


Bikkle Bin: I'm glad I got this milk tea drink. It is not a milk tea drink, but a yogurt drink. I would also prefer the lemonade drink too than the peach and energy drink.

Arare Nori: Usually, I get the mixed rice crackers, but this will suffice!

Overall: This month's crate is much better than last's month. There is a much more variety of snacks that I would definitely eat. I would like to thank Japan Crate again for working hard to give their subscribers the best quality snacks!
