Bokksu June Box: Hokkaido Review

Bokksu is a Japanese subscription box for people to discover authentic snacks and teas from all over Japan, it's a fairly new company for this being their second full box. Every box contains 13-15 premium snacks sourced from Japan, a tea pairing that complements that month's flavors, and a Tasting Guide that explains each item's story. They handpick high quality snacks from all over Japan and only the best snacks and teas.

Like I said earlier, each curated box includes 13-15 authentic Japanese snacks along with a tea pairing. It also includes free shipping within the United States. Boxes ship of the 10th of every month.

Comes with a nicely made information card that includes a photo and the description of the snacks and sweets included in the box. It also comes with a great personalized message from the founder of Bokksu. 

Jaga Pokkuru

These are amazing. They somehow made French fries shaped potato chips. They taste really natural and you can really taste the oil. I would definitely buy more of these.

Genmaicha 

I love the aroma of the tea. You can definitely smell the roasted rice and it really adds depth to the tea. It's a great pair to all the sweets in this box. 

Country Ma'am Bake Shop Northern Cheese Tart

This cheese tart is a great addition to tea. It has a light taste of both cream cheese and lemon zest. It's very soft and fluffy in texture.

Shiroi Koibito

Simple cookies that have white chocolate between butter biscuit. These are amazing. The quality of the chocolate is great and the butter biscuit makes the cookie complete. It's a great sweet to give as a gift and I think they sell these on amazon. 

Natural Yeast Bread Hokkaido Cream

This bread is simple yet delicious. It's made with Hokkaido cream, which is layered. It's similar to the bread pastries I've tasted when I went to France for vacations. I definitely want to buy more of this.

Oh! Yaki Toukibi

This is a snack that you can only get from the famous Sapporo Ohdori Park. It's made from locally grown rice and sweet corn. It's a bit salty but has a sweet corn flavor. It’s glazed with soy sauce.

This month's box was amazing, it had a great variety of snacks, savory and sweet with the addition of the tea. Although I loved all the items, my favorite was definitely the Hokkaido Cream Bread and Jaga Pokkuru. I love that you get a good amount of each item so that you can share (or eat it all yourself). I recommend this to anyone who wants more than the usual mainstream Japanese snacks or want to give a gift to someone. 

If you use the code SAKURA, you'll be able to get $10 off your first box! For more information, be sure to check out Bokksu's website and subscribe today!
