What is a Japanese Snack Subscription Box?

TokyoTreat offers a subscription-based product that delivers a delicious mixture of some of the best Japanese snacks to your door every month. In each box, you can expect a range of savoury and sweet treats to enjoy and depending on the theme the items change making it a great surprise for yourself or a gift for a loved one.

Overview of TokyoTreat Boxes

How does TokyoTreat work?

TokyoTreat works either as a subscription box for some time or a single box can be ordered for yourself or as a gift. Inside the TokyoTreat box, all the Japanese treats are edible and are both savoury and sweet products delivered right to your door to enjoy.

In designing the service, the TokyoTreat creator, Ayumi has noted that Japanese snacks sold internationally are quite different from those that you buy in Japan. In Western countries, it’s common for them to use the same popular flavours including strawberry, chocolate, etc. over and over again. However, in Japan, the snack-consuming public is constantly craving something unique and new. Hence, why you’ll most likely see different packing and products changed regularly.

With this in mind, each TokyoTreat box has a theme, whether it be based on a celebration, a Prefecture, or a season you’ll be treated to delicious Japanese sweets that will delight your taste buds.

How much does TokyoTreat cost?

For the full-sized snack box for a one-off purchase, it’s about $37.50. Otherwise, Tokyotreat offers subscriptions from monthly, 3 months to 12 month plans. With longer subscriptions plans you’ll get a larger discount.

📌 TokyoTreat Subscription Boxes Prices

Subscription PeriodPrice per boxTotal Price
1 month$37.50$37.50
3 months$35.50$106.5
6 months$33.50$201
12 months$32.50$390

What’s included in the TokyoTreat box?

The TokyoTreat box typically includes 15 to 20 items balanced with sweet and savoury drinks and a drink. All of the products are generally hard to find outside of Japan, so receiving this straight to your doorstep is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Japan’s snack culture. Each box also comes equipped with a helpful booklet detailing information about the theme of the month’s box and full details on each item that is included, such as what each item is, why they were chosen for the themed box and helpful dietary information including common allergens.

Your subscription box can include various snacks including:

  • KitKat chocolate
  • Chocolates
  • Chip packet
  • DIY Candy kit
  • Dagashi
  • Drink
  • .. and more!

Valentine’s Day Japanese Snack Box

In the latest seasonal box, TokyoTreat’s Valentine’s box focuses on limited-edition treats packed with flavours and delicious treats to bring back memories for many Japanese visitors and inspire visits for others. Even the design of the box has been beautifully crafted with Valentine’s themed patterns making it easy as a gifting option for a special someone. For me, the Valentine’s box reminded me of my past trips to Japan visiting the convenience stores grabbing a snack to enjoy in Japan.

Savoury Japanese Snacks

Some of the savoury options in the box include the Karamucho Spicy Chili Tomato chips and the Pirikara Spicy Ramen which can help spice up your upcoming Valentine’s Day with the bold spices and a tangy kick. Here’s a full listicle of the savoury snacks in the Valentine’s Box:

  • Pirikara Spicy Ramen – A bold spice and umami tonkotsu-style both ramen.
  • Corn Potage Puffs – Sweet and salty puffs flavoured with corn potage and combined with a buttery and creamy undertone.
  • Mentaiko Potato Crisps – Umami potato crips flavoured with mentaiko or spicy cod roe.

Sweet Japanese Snacks

For those with a sweet tooth, you’ll be delighted that this seasonal box features a limited edition Strawberry Shortcake KitKat of mini 10-pack individually wrapped double mini sticks. Other sweet options this month were the Bake Chocolate – a cocoa-rich bite-sized chocolate treat that was delicious and melty mess-free. The Cutie Pie Donuts also charmed their way into my taste palette with a sweet kick of maple syrup and coated with crunchy sugar crystals. Other sweet Japanese treats included:

  • KitKat Strawberry Shortcake (my personal favourite!)
  • Caco no Megumi – Luscious and rich dark chocolate bite-sized snacks.
  • Sweetheart Fruit Juice – A fruit juice featuring the pure essence of fruits.
  • Bake Chocolat – Cocoa-rich bite-sized chocolate snacks.
  • Pokemon Candy Hearts – Sweetly tart hard candies with cute Pokemon designs.
  • Cutie Pie Donuts – Seet maple syrup doughnuts coated with crunchy sugar crystals.
  • Ichigo Mugi Puffs – White chocolate and strawberry puff snacks.
  • Strawberry Milk Candy – Strawberry and milk hard candies.
  • Cola Bubble Candy – A fizzy sweet cola bubble candy.

Why I Liked TokyoTreat Box (as a Frequent Japan Traveler)

Authenticity

As soon as you open the box you’ll be treated to numerous Japanese treats that are authentically true to its culture. Whenever I’m in Japan I’m always so excited to grab treats from the konbini (convenience store) and opening the subscription box allows me to relive the memories and joy of trying all my snacks in Japan. Inside the box, you’ll find snacks in the box similar to what you might pick up in a Japanese convenience store or at the train station before catching a high-speed train (shinkansen) in Japan.

If you prefer traditional-style snacks such as senbei and mochi there is also another box created by Ayumi Chikamoto that will suit your taste palette. I’d recommend checking out the SakuraCo Box.

Great Value

Delivered right to your doorstep, TokyoTreat delivers in providing the best Japanese subscription box with a variety of treats to delight your tastebuds. From sweet to savoury snacks, TokyoTreat also offers seasonal subscription boxes to immerse yourself in Japanese snacking culture. You’ll stay in the loop with seasonal flavours and new product releases from Japan straight to your house.

Final Thoughts – Is TokyoTreat Worth It?

It’s cheaper than booking a trip to Japan! In all honesty, I was pleasantly surprised with how many full-sized snacks and variety were included in the subscription box. You get more than a dozen Japanese snacks without needing to book that trip to Japan and it was beautifully packaged that it’s great as a gift for a loved one.

With TokyoTreat’s special seasonal boxes, it’s also great for gifting a friend or a family member who’s a foodie or is interested in Japanese culture. Think of it as an easy and stress-free gift! There’s a lot of variety and if you get the subscription offer you’ll get a surprise each month which makes as a memorable present.

This isn’t a box of discounted snacks, and you would easily be able to purchase similar items at a cheaper price at a Japanese convenience store such as 7-Eleven or Lawson. However, you won’t be able to find these items in your local Asian Grocer in Australia or America.

For those looking to indulge in the best Japanese treats, TokyoTreat box is a great option to treat yourself or a loved one to get a glimpse into Japanese culture, whether it’s a holiday, a festival, a season or a region.

Frequently Asked Questions about TokyoTreat Boxes

Where is TokyoTreat shipped from?

All products from TokyoTreat are shipped from Japan straight to your door. I got my subscription box shipped from DHL with express shipping and received it about 5 days after my order.

Is TokyoTreat reliable?

All of my interactions with the TokyoTreat team have been responsive and helpful, with each of my questions answered clearly and without having to wait too long for delivery. They’ve also been around for almost a decade so it must be reflective that they’re doing something right here!
