February 2015 Item List


Kizami Dried Squid: I love these! In the markets, I would get these kinds. I enjoy the spicy flavor ones too.

Liquid Mixing Candy: I don't think I will be trying this. You're basically eating syrup (imo).

Otana Milk Pocky: There are two packets, and wow. I like them. The chocolate flavor tastes better than the regular chocolate Pocky.

Morinaga Choco Peanut Balls: You taste the peanut more than the chocolate, unlike M&M's.


Doraemon Choco Balls: This reminds of Cap'n Crunch cereal, just chocolate flavored. Included inside was a Doraemon sticker. It's quite sweet in my opinion.

Kracie Colors Animals DIY: This DIY was very fun! I had a robot, dolphin, shooting star, and a planet. I didn't eat it, but it was fun creating colors and coloring the shapes!

EveryBurger Chocolate Biscuits (Bourbon Every Burger): Basically tastes like Meiji, just in burger form.

Animal Pops: It basically tasted like Saru no Mori from December's Japan Crate (with strawberry flavor). Didn't enjoy this.


Pokemon Sparkling Apple Drink: Basically the title!

Zoo Gummy DIY: This one is messsy! This DIY is lemon and grape flavored. The animals I got were a flamingo, two koalas, a lion, and a rabbit.

Ensky Collectible Card Gum: When I opened this, I was surprised to see just two small pieces of gum. I received a Nami card (No. 123) and card No. 141.


Overall: The items are getting better and better! And due to the delay, Japan Crate promised to include a special item in March's Crate! Along with that and the recent trip to a candy trade show, I hope to see more interesting candy!



If you've subscribed to Japan Crate, what do you think of the snacks this month?
