okashi connection march edition,

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.

so what did we find in my box this month,

CALBEE SWEET POTATO CRISPS,
These sweet potato chips are a cross between a wotsit corn puff and a potato crisp,quite sweet in flavour but very tasty, this had a slight salty taste and like the company said varied to what your drinking at the time, it seemed to be less salty with a hot drink,

GARI BORI SPICY GARLIC RAMEN NOODLES.

these are not instant noodles where you add water ,these are crispy noodles eaten from the pack, quite heavy on the garlic and they are very crumbly,but great for an energy hit or for snacking while doing revision or watching films, an interesting concept but a really good and big hit in japan

EBI SEBEI CHIPS,

These are shrimp or prawn flavoured and really tasty,had them before ,very fishy but the intense flavour satisfies you for longer,a crispy snack. 

PUKUPUKU TAI.

an aerated waffle biscuit filled with a dry aerated chocolate filling, these are great ,large and tasty and great with a hot drink to relax with.

these are sold with various fillings ,for instance red bean ,or cream cheese ,or black bean paste,

WATAPACHI MELON SODA.

this is a layer of cotton candy with a strong melon flavour ,quite refreshing and it has cracking popping candy mixed in, this needs to be eaten straight away as the air kills the cotton candy quick,

UMI NO GUMI ZUKAN DIY,

is a sea creature gummy kit.they have an odd texture as they are not chewy rather a dry grainy textured blob in the mouth,

DARS WHITE CHOCOLATE,

individual chunks of pure creamy white chocolate whats not to love,

pocky koma-san MILKYCREAM,

pocky biscuits are everywhere ,but these limited edition flavour white chocolate ones are only in selected places and also selected numbers made,kola-san is a dog statue that is found round japan protecting temples,
these are mild milk flavoured a little like milk malt biscuits in the UK.

PUCCA CHOCOLATES,
these are like the panda biscuits a crispy cookie outer and creamy chocolate inner,the packaging folds out and has a game printed inside great for train travel,
these taste really  nice and the box didn't take long to eat.

BLUEBERRY TARTLETS.
OK so another new flavour for us to try this time blueberry and wow these are good,
a soft crumbly pastry and a sweet sour jammy blueberry filling, these are great on there own or with a hot drink,
each are individually wrapped,for total freshness,
okashi connection feel free to send us more of these tarts please,

so this months box was sweet and savoury and i kind of liked the offerings ,the blueberry tarts were tasty and as were the rilakkuma pretzels,the sweet potato corn crisps were very tasty,the pocky was nice ,pocky is pocky,i like the pakupaku- tai and also the melon candy cotton. so this is a thumbs up box from myself and my son,and i can't wait to see what April brings,
