There is something exciting about getting a box full of snacks every month. Bokksu is a monthly subscription service that brings traditional Japanese snacks to your door. Each month has a different theme and highlights flavors from different areas of Japan. I have been enjoying Bokksu for more than 2 years and always look forward to when it arrives each month. The theme of the June 2022 Bokksu is Midori Moments. Midori means green in Japanese and nearly all of these snacks are green or flavored by a green item, mainly matcha. I have tried a number of matcha-flavored items in the past and forRead More →

Each month, I look forward to the arrival of my Bokksu. The theme of the May 2022 Bokksu is Bokksu Tanjoubi or Bokksu Birthday. Bokksu has been around for 6 years and it’s amazing to think that they have been bringing traditional Japanese snacks to people’s doors this long. This box is unique in the sense that there are repeat items from previous boxes, some are customer favorites and others are staff favorites. I love getting a chance to try some snacks a second time around and see which ones are the most popular. Want to try Bokksu? Use my referral link to get $15Read More →

Sakura season is a major event in Japan that is celebrated with sakura viewings, festivals, and plenty of sakura-themed foods. While these are plentiful in Japan, for those of us outside of Japan, it can be hard to experience the sights, smells, and flavors of cherry blossom season. However, thanks to companies like Bokksu, we can at least get the taste of all those wonderful spring flavors. Bokksu is a monthly subscription box that brings traditional snacks from Japan to your door. Each month is a new theme, highlighting different flavors and areas of Japan. The April 2022 Bokksu brings the many flavors of theRead More →

Subscription boxes have grown in popularity over the years. With subscription boxes for just about everything, you can find one that corresponds with your likes.

Every month, Bokksu sends you a themed box featuring snacks from different prefectures in Japan.

When it comes to subscription boxes, the best ones are packed full of food. That is why I love Bokksu so much. Not only is it full of snacks, but Bokksu highlights the flavors and textures of traditional Japanese snacks, often focusing on a particular flavor or event as the month’s theme. The August 2021 Bokksu was focused on the Moon Festival. The pamphlet includes the folktale of the rabbit on the moon along with a few Japanese words to learn. I have enjoyed Bokksu in the past, such as the July 2021 Bokksu. If you are looking to experience the flavors of Japan withoutRead More →

In Japan, Natsu matsuri, or summer festivals, occurs in July and August. These festivals all have different traditions and origins. However, one thing they have in common is a selection of summer-inspired food.  For those of us who don’t live in Japan or are unable to visit during these festivals may feel like we are missing out. But there is a way to experience the traditional flavors of these festivals at home. The July 2021 Bokksu captured the flavors and textures of the Japanese summer festival and brings them right to your door. This is not my first time trying Bokksu. Back in 2020, IRead More →

Subscription boxes are a great way to explore different items that may not be readily available to you in stores. Food subscription boxes are my favorite, and realistically the only subscription boxes I have tried so far. Who wouldn’t want to receive a box filled with edible goodies from another country? I have tried a number of them in the past couple of years, namely ones from Japan. After giving Japan Crate a try, I really wanted to try the Umai Crate. This month I decided to splurge on the March 2021 Umai Crate to see what kind of noodles I could get – asRead More →

Do you love mochi? The March 2020 Bokksu was all about mochi. Just when I thought Bokksu couldn’t get any better, the Mochi Madness box arrived. If you have never tried mochi, then you are missing out on a fantastically chewy snack that has endless combinations of flavors and textures. Bokksu brings a themed box filled with traditional snacks to your door each month, like the Snowy Hokkaido December Bokksu. It is a great way to experience the tastes of another country from the comfort of your own home. Want to give Bokksu a try? Sign up today! Use this referral link to get $10Read More →
