June 2015 Item List

Mini Item Contents:

Ramune Marble: 

White Chocolate Big Bar Z: The first time I saw the chocolate version, I was skeptical about it, but it tasted great! So when I saw a white chocolate version in this box, I was happy. And yes, it tasted great! (: Edit: 8/16/15 I just found this in an Asian market for $1.45.

Little Gang Grape: Okay... the title... I'm not the only one who read it differently, right? The gum package does say Little Gang, and it's grape flavored...

Red Potion/Black Potion: Eat either the red/black gum, and your tongue will be red/black!

Soy Sauce Mochi/Snow Pea Chips (Calbee Sayaendo Sappari Shio Aji): I got the Snow Pea Chips and it's great. Ate the whole bag. :D

Original Item Content:

Choco Kinako Mochi DIY (Coris Choco Kinako Mochi): 

Kirby Blend-Blend Mix Gum (Marukawa Hosahi no Carby Mix Gum): There is a variety of flavored gum (yogurt, soda, orange, and a flavor I don't know...). You can eat two/three flavors of the gum at once to create a new flavor (e.g. orange+the flavor I don't know+soda gives you cola flavored gum). Watch out for the gray ones! They don't really have a taste to it.

Matcha Green Tea Pejoy: Meh. These are alright. These are just wafer rolls filled with green tea flavor.

Talking Puppy Chocolate: This tastes like a Crunch bar, just less sweeter. When you open from the back, there is a dog card (mine was a Pomeranian), with a heat detected bubble. Rub it, and you'll a get a Japanese line (which answers the question on the other side of the card).

Premium Item Content:

Kawaii Ramune (Sangaria Kawaii Ramune): I think I'm done with the ramune drinks and anything with ramune in general.

Magic Bubble Jelly DIY (Meiji Majic Awa Jelly Grape):

Happy Paws Gummy (Senjaku Nikukyu Gummy Peach): If you like gummy peach rings, you'll definitely enjoy this! (It's not sour though)

Choco Banana Pocky: No. Just no. If you like bananas, you'll probably enjoy this.

Matcha Green Tea Kit Kats: It would be nice one day if we can get a full bag, haha. But a bag of Matcha Green Tea Kit Kats (or any other special Kit Kat flavor) is quite expensive (almost $10 a bag!).

Totoro figure (Bonus Item): This time, the bonus item is a figure from the anime, My Neighbor Totoro. This is one of the ten figures you can get (the camera got a sharper view of the plastic instead of Totoro. :(). Japan Crate also has an event for this!

And here's a picture of everything and the bottom of the box!

If you've subscribed to Japan Crate, what Totoro figure did you get?
