A classic Japanese snack in a cute, mini-ramune bottle shaped container that’s been around for over 40 years, these tablet candies have proven to be a long-seller with both adults and kids. This time we bring you the mix fruit soda flavour that comes in cute colors and promises to add a touch of fruitiness to the signature soda flavour.

KitKat Sakura Kinako

We know you can’t get enough of Japanese KitKats so this month we bring you the very special Sakura Kinako (cherry blossom & roasted soy flavour) variety that’s only sold in shareable snack bag size. How do these uniquely Japanese spring flavoured KitKat compare to the others you’ve tried?

TokyoTreat Review June 2017 – Final Thoughts

I can’t get over how much fun this box is to receive. TokyoTreat really does a great job when it comes to curation. They pack the box full every month, and they include a nice mixture of old favourites and new discoveries. This month I am most excited about the KitKats, the Chip Star, the Spicy Peanuts and the Tropicana. This box is always a hit with us and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
