Sakuraco kindly provided me with a New Year’s subscription box to taste some delicious snacks. In Japan, New Year is a time of reflection and rejuvenation. Check them out here.
I greatly enjoyed the treats such as the yuzu sencha (a refreshing blend of citrus and green tea), yuzu shiroko biscuits which had a subtle taste of yuzu, savoury senbei, sesame daikaki, soft niigata okaki and cheese curry arare.
Additionally, maple cashew nuts added some sweet crunch, strawberry daifuku added some sweetness, sweet potato kintsuba were baked to a golden brown hue, matcha dorayaki is always a perenneial favorite and red and white plum kohakuto added some crystal scents.
Other treats included shichifukujin tetra arare and kokuto donut. There was even a nishijin-ori coaster which showcases the beautiful intricacy of nishijin-ori, designed with precision and care to showcase Japanese craftsmanship.
Overall, this was a great subscription box to try some traditional Japanese pastries. I love the theme of Japanese culture, and it has made me want to try more Japanese snacks which are tasty and also educational regarding culture.
