today i am bringing you my latest great new subscription box that I've hooked up with.
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 wasn't greedy and ordered one of each more to follow about this later.
you can find okashi connection here okashi connection website
please add my referal code ljblog to the box when signing up thank you.
MY BOX
UN BOXED
FRIED POTATO STICKS,
from Meiji these are fried potato fries .they are crunchy but tasty for sure . great for sharing.
KARAMUCHO,
the same as above but with a slightly spic flavouring ,in western terms not overly hot spicy just a gentle warmth.
crispy and tasty these are great mixed together in a bowl with the plain box.
CABBAGE TATOU,
cabbage is not the flavour don't panic, it refers to the shape ,these are really tasty puffy snacks and taste a lot like a stronger Worcester sauce flavour, the mascot is the famous tatou.
SAKUSAKU PANDA CHOCOLATE CAKE,
individually wrapped scrumy, these are chocolate creamy centres wrapped with marshmallow then sandwiched between 2 chocolate cookies ,chocolate smokes eat your heart out and yes mini panda shaped cookies.
ANPANMAN GUMI,
so the gumi sweets are stuck onto paper so don't waste time peeling the gummy off watt he whole thing.we got a pack of apple and a pack of grape flavour ,the apple ones are a delicate flavour think watered down apple juice ,where as the grape flavour is so good, .
CREAM SODA CANDIES,
hard candy with a traditional Japanese feel about it, cream soda in japan is usually watermelon soda with vanilla ice-cream.these candies have a soft chewy interior, but don't eat them all at once save some for later.
OTTOTTO CONSOME CRACKERS.
these are little crispy crackers which are shaped as assorted animals.and they taste of consume.
DORAEMON FLUFFY CHOCO SANDWICH.
doraemon is a robot cat ,and has been around for over 40 years in the anime and manga world, he can be found all over japan.
this treat is supposed to look like monaka, ,the treat is a crispy flaky wafer with a fluffy chocolate filling,tasty,crispy and sweet.but fun.
WATA-PACHI GRAPE
this is the 3rd flavour featured in these boxes over the months.this is grape flavoured, it also incorporates sour pop rocks,and god they are sour.a good flavour kick,
TSUBU- TSUBU FRUIT SOFT CANDY.
a jelly bean candy with star burst flavours, these are more intense flavours to be honest though.grape ,lemon,green apple,pineapple,peach wow these brighten a damp wet day up in the UK.
ADD ON PRODUCTS.
KIT KAT.pumpkin pudding.
i love all the different types of kitkat flavours and these are no different.
pumpkin pudding is a great savoury sweet flavour, what makes these a little different is that you chill them down the put on a tray in the oven and brûlée them up, and taste so good ,creamy and melty pumpkin pie.
DIY KIT
panda bento set ,
i got this to send to someone as a Xmas gift. as her panda is her name.
looks cool i have tried these sets and are such fun, so I'm sure she will enjoy it.
so did i like my first OKASHI CONNECTION box . well hell yeah.
will i continue the subscription ,hell yeah.
were the products enjoyable . yes .
was it value for money, yes.
i loved the idea of the add on option for the box a nice surprise for the month,
the amount of candy and snacks compared to other subscriptions is huge,
shipping was quick and payment by paypal is so quick and easy.
a friend kept spamming my blog comments to try this box out and i was gutted when i got greeted on signing up with the waiting list ,but in a week i was in and I'm in for good. epic box to start my okashi subscription with.
