okashi connection ,may

its that time when all my candy subscriptions all turn up in one week and i spend the following week eating my way through the boxes and reviewing with my taste tester son

               OKASHI CONNECTION.
this is a Japanese candy and snack subscription box that comes out every month and is shipped world wide for $22.00 .postage is included in the price,
shipped direct from Tokyo,it takes about 2 weeks to get to the UK.
once opened you go onto the members blog and there you will find out about all the products in the box.
the box contains about a pound or 450g weight of candy and snacks which focus on seasonal items rather than weird filler items.
OK so on opening the box i knew this subscription was going to be a keeper.

also this month i was invited to buy the add on ,these you go to a link and then you can purchase as many of the items  as you want, i passed this month as it was chocolate,
you can find okashi connection here okashi connection website 
please add my referral code ljblog to the box when signing up thank you.


my box

menu card,

OYATSU KIDS PACK,

this is a kids grab bag,with snack bags inside,

VEGGIE TABERU CHIPS,

heart shaped corn crisps,these are soft with a little crunch,.they are a little salty but the vegetable flavour comes through fine.

CHOCO SHIMI-CORN SEA ANIMAL CRACKERS.

these are limited chocolate flavoured crackers, they are a quite strong flavour with a crispy texture.

DISNEY ELISE BLUEBERRY AND YOGURT,

bourbon regularly team up with Disney and this has Elise all over it,

these wafers are so nice the blueberry mix is just right and not too sickly,

POCKY PEANUT,

a limited edition to japan only,this box is bright yellow and has snoopy on it, 

that can only mean one thing surely ,PEANUT flavour, 

the filling is not as strong and dense as peanut butter so the description of a sweeter peanut cream is spot on,

the coating is sweet and not a dry texture in the mouth, i like these.

BIN RAMUNE,

so an ice cream wafer cone in japan is called a bin,

you poke the straw into the bottom of the bottle wafer, then suck up the ramune sherbet powder ,be careful you don't suck to quick or you may cough like the cinnamon challenge,

its a nice sherbet, and who doesn't like crisp ice-cream wafers.

PEAR SHOKORANTAN,

love these , i have had loads in other sub boxes and I'm not bored of them,

they are like a strong french crispy crunchy Florentines biscuit and fresh strong pears.these are individually wrapped for freshness but to be honest they never last long.

GREEN TEA WAFER BAR,

this bar has a green tea chocolate covering over a crispy wafer ,

they come across as a kind of kitkat wafer,

STRAWBERRY WAFER BAR.

the same as the green tea one with a nice gentle strawberry taste,

LEMON SOUR PAPER,
this long sugary and sour sweet.
but it wasn't as sour as some American gummy sweets , it was refreshing  and quickly eaten,

a good box ,a great choice of products again and all eaten and liked , worth buying each month, always consistent in value and weight,
