Snack subscription boxes are the best. They bring all kinds of wonderful tasting items to your door. There are quite a few snack subscription boxes, but the best of them, in my opinion, come from Japan. Japan Crate is one of several snack-filled subscription boxes and you can get. After enjoying the November box, I was really looking forward to what the December Japan Crate had in store.

I’m really becoming a fan of subscription boxes. Once a month, a box arrives at your door filled with goodies. Boxes that give you snacks are the best.

Like other Japanese snack subscription boxes, Japan Crate is full of different candies, treats, and a drink from Japan. Each month contains new items. As a bonus, the pamphlet includes information on events happening in Japan for the month plus a few Japanese phrases to learn. This is great, as I have made itRead More →
