TokyoTreat is a snack subscription box filled with candy and other tasty goodies from Japan. A little salty, a little sweet... all very authentic to what you'd find walking through a convenience store in Japan.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)
This review is of the Small Size, $14.99 a month, box.

TokyoTreat January 2018 Review
TokyoTreat is going green and no longer sending monthly information cards. Now, you can find each snack on the TokyoTreat site, super helpful!
Now for the snacks!
Morinaga Hi-Chew Premium Chardonnay - Retail Value $3.80
Hi-chew gummies are so delicious! I have never had this chardonnay flavor before, but I can safely say this was one of my favorites. Each little candy is super soft and chewy with a delicate sugary coating. The flavor was sweet and tart like a grape! The resealable bag means you can share with friends.
Koala's March Kinako - Retail Value $2.50
I love receiving new flavors of Koala's March! These little cookies have an adorable koala print on them, my son loves looking to see what drawing is on each cookie before eating. The cookie is so crumbly and filled with a rich cream filling. This particular flavor is similar to a latte, my favorite! There is a light coffee flavor with hints of vanilla and nuts. I absolutely loved this flavor!
Aerial Rich Cheddar Cheese Flavor - Buy 10 bags for $36.02
I could not put these down! These little puffs have layers of a crispy and crunchy chip. Coated with a rich cheddar cheese flavor that was so bold. Each puff is like a cross between a chip, a Cheeto, and a cracker - so much crunch! I was very excited that the bag was extra large, perfect for sharing.
Slime Jelly DIY Kit - Retail Value $4.25
This DIY kit was super easy to make in three simple steps. All I had to do was add water, combine both powders, and stir stir stir. What you are left with is this pretty blue slime! It really is thick like a slime but tastes like blueberry jelly. I wouldn't suggest eating the whole slime on your own though, it is very sugary!
Porinki Corn Snack - Retail Value $1.99
This snack was very unique! I couldn't put my finger on what exactly they taste like, but they are most certainly a savory treat. You get a light hint of sweetness mixed with a pretty strong salty flavor. Then I was getting hints of tomato or onion, I couldn't decide which it was. The puffs themselves are very light with a great crunch. While I wasn't in love with these, they were really interesting to try!
Red Snapper Cracker - Retail Value $1.00
I thought these were going to be fish flavored, but instead, they were super sweet! Each bite had a lovely crunch to them that was very airy. There were hints of a caramel sweetness that was so delicious. This is another snack that I don't really know what to compare them to, or how to pinpoint all of the flavors I was getting. All I can say is that it was sweet and oh so good!
Pizza Umaibo - Buy a pack of 30 for $11.99
My favorite umaibo ever! This little puff really tastes like you are eating pizza. There are hints of pepperoni, my favorite, and then a yummy cheese coating. It is like eating a three cheese and pepperoni pizza all in one little puff. So, so good!
Ramune Soda Candy Share Pack - Buy a pack of 5 for $3.70
These little candies reminded me of something I would have eaten when I was little! I love when a candy can take me back to my childhood. The share pack comes with so many packets that you will have this candy for a while, and plenty to share with friends! The candies themselves are hard but break apart easily when you bite into them. They sort of remind me of a candy necklace! The flavors are sweet with a light bitterness, just like a fizzy soda!
The Verdict: This month's TokyoTreat was filled with lots of yummy snacks that were very exciting to try! There were a few snacks that I really loved but had the hardest time pinpointing what flavors I was tasting. That is what makes TokyoTreat so much fun, you never know what you are going to get and there is so much to discover! There were a few snacks that I have had before from other snack boxes, but these came in new flavors that I really enjoyed.Plus, this was probably my favorite DIY kit that I have ever received. A super fun TokyoTreat box for January that is packed full of so many snacks you will be sharing them for days to come!
