its that time again and my first snack box of the month has landed in the UK,
the oyatsu box is based in japan  and started up last year after the staff at the oyatsu cafe decided to it was time to send some fun tot he rest of the world.
oyatsu box can be found here.WEBSITE.
each box contains over a pound of candy,snacks,Japanese  merch.
there are 2 types of box to subscribe too-
the full sized box 8-14 products for $25.00
the junior box 2-3 products for $7.99


MY BOX.




UNBOXED,



POCKY DEMITASSE.
a brand new flavour of pocky for 2015,this small box has cocoa sticks covered with dark rich luxury  chocolate.
these are limited edition and only available for a limited time in premium places.

these are quite strong and very rich in taste ,i like the texture and they still have that moreish biscuit love.





KABAYA PANDA COOKIES,
cue cute mini panda biscuits, crispy biscuits with a chocolate cream topping,kept fresh in a foil bag .
each biscuit has a different panda expression.


these never lasted long ,tasty panda cookies ,buttery and sweet with a chocolate  covering.





MEIGUM RAMUNE.
meigum is the Japanese leader of soft candy,
these are chewy sweet  bars ,with the iconic ramune soda flavours.

these are soft gummy bars that are so sweet but have the best flavours ,i love ramune soda,



NINJA MESHI. MOUNTAIN GRAPE 
so we got a packet of ninja food ,ninja meshi is cool packaged candy,the ninja wears a suit and a tie ,Japanese call this salary man,
these candy are soft and chewy with a great grape flavour,

so these are like a flat jelly bean with a harder shell ,inside is a chewy softer centre that is quite sharp not sour but sharp,i happy its grape flavour as i loved these even more for that reason.



KOIKE POLINKI,SWEET CORN FLAVOUR.
OK so these are a real Japanese treat,, these triangle corn puffs are light and fluffy with a real sweetcorn flavour,the flavour has been refined over 3 decades to perfect the best yet,

right back in the 80's in the UK we have corn snacks called skips crisps, and they are prawn cocktail ,but back then they brought out a sweetcorn flavour,this reminds me of those crisps,the flavour is so good ,the crisps are crispy and crunchy and worthy of being put in such a large bag for one person to eat.



GASHAPON JAPANESE CAPSULE TOY,
a real capsule toy full of high quality real McCoy Japanese merchandise,
these machines are found all over japan,includes toys or stationary,accessories,
this month is a figure from one piece roronoa zoro,


CHOCO KINAKO MOCHI,
a traditional Japanese chewy candy,this DIY kit lets you make an instant version of the classic,each piece then can be covered in kinako(sweet soy bean flour),and chocolate.

SIMPLY follow the pictures on the back of the pack and its easy to do ,then simply eat,



PETIT MATCHA.
chocolate chip matcha cookies.this is a long tube with loads of mini cookies.21 actually,these are infused with matcha tea and chocolate chips,

these were not as strong as the chocolate is ,so the cookies were nice to eat,i crumbled the majority into a biscuit base though and made a chocolate mousse and poured it over , the matcha tea base went so well with the rich chocolate mousse,



NIGATA DEEP FRIED SENBEI,
deep fried rice crackers,with a hint of soy sauce,a traditional snack eastern all over japan.

these are slightly salty rice crackers ,but so crispy ,they were very tasty and Moorish,




PURE FRUIT GUMMY -YUZU ANS MIKAN,
Japanese gummies always taste of authentic fruits, the pure range is up there in the top3 brands for this reason.
yuzu and mikan are citrus and sour flavours, they taste like lemon and lime,

shaped like mini fruit segments these are sour but sweet and fragrant seem to over ride the sourness ,these are very soft gummies that melt away in the mouth, very sugary on the outside,





MAGICAL TWIN POP COMBO GUMMY,
with over 11 flavours to discover these candies are a great way to play and make flavours up.
all can be combined to invent new flavours,
eating a lemon and a grape gummy will give you a cola gummy,

I really had fun testing these out and no other way to pass the time while getting a long tattoo done is by inventing new flavours to keep you going,
i had some real funny flavours but they all worked in one way or another,





so overall i really liked the products in this box ,it felt nice and jam packed with goodies .11 products in total ,and me and my son enjoyed eating these ,for value for money shipped to your door ,it works out cheaper for me in the UK.we get a good range of products every month, sometimes it candy orientated others is savoury snack, ,generally its a mix of the two that makes a good all round box, 

check back my previous reviews on boxes and i will see you next month for the march review,
