DokiDokiBoxie is a fairly new subscription box service that focuses on both Japanese snacks and anime goods, Okashi Box and Anime Box. They also have an option, if you have the Deka Box, to choose a bonus item, either a premium treat or anime/game item. They were very nice to send me both the anime and snack bonus so thank you very much.
Okashi Box offers two different box sizes to choose from with a base price of $23.85 for the Chibi Box and $32.69 for the Deka Box. Payment is in Japanese Yen so the price can fluctuate time to time. They have free worldwide shipping. The box that I'll be reviewing is the Deka Box, which includes 19-20 items.
The Anime Box has 3 options:
They also offer raffles for subscribers. Buyers receive free entry to one of four raffles. There's four categories: Kawaii Raffle, Otaku Raffle, Traditional Raffle, or Mega Box Raffle. Winners are announced twice a month on their Facebook Page. There is one winner to each of the categories except for their Mega Box, which has 5 winners.
The Anime Box has 3 options:
- 3 female character & another 2 item,
- 3 male character & another 2 items
- 5 completely random items.

The box comes with this cute and pretty booklet describing each snack and sweets in the box with photos. I definitely love the artwork :D
Seiza Choco
These are delicious biscuit crackers that are covered with chocolate on the top. I actually didn't know it came with a zodiac sign till I ate the whole thing. I hope I got a Virgo.
Sayaendou Sappari Shio Flavor
The taste was very interesting, these are shaped as snap peas and they taste just like them. These are corn puff snacks like the cheese curls or puffs.
Scone: Grilled Corn & Soy Sauce Flavor
These were corn and soy sauce flavored and they were nice and light so it was great to snack on. The shape and texture is similar to Cheetos snacks but overall it was delicious.
Pretz: Sweet Potato Flavor
I am a big fan of Pretz and sweet potato and this was my first time trying a more sweeter version. These were amazing, sometimes I don't like sweet potato flavored sweets because they over flavor it but these were great since it has butter.
Pokemon Sun & Moon Chocolate Wafer
These are crispy wafers that have milk chocolate spread in between. These were like other wafers, delicious. It also came with a pink cute Meowth and Pikachu sparkly sticker.
Ume Pachi Chan (Sour Plum)
These are bite sized snacks that are sour plum flavor. They are pop rock candy and they indeed were sour and a bit salty at sometime. Overall it's okay but I'm not into popping candy that much.
Ishigakishokuhin Shredded Beef Jerky
This was one of my favorite item in the box. At first I actually thought it was squid, which I wanted to try as well, but it was beef. The flavor was delicious and smoky, I would buy more if I could. It tasted a lot like salami.
Umai-wa (Mentai)
These are circular corn puffs that are flavored with mentai, spicy fish eggs. They taste like cheese curls without the cheese part. It's really good and I finished it in one sitting, I plan to buy more.
Black Koala's March: Cocoa & Milk
I've tried koala march before but just the usual custard one but not the cocoa and milk. The milk, as oppose to the custard one, tasted a bit like condense milk, which was delicious and the cocoa adds to the flavor.
Peko and Sanrio Milky Party Chocolate
I've always seen this character before but I never knew her name was Peko. These were very simple chocolate with designs of Peko and Hello Kitty on top. The top was white chocolate and the bottom was regular chocolate. Overall it was tasty.

Texas Corn: Fried Chicken
Slightly different from the other puff snacks in the box, these were flavored to taste like fried chicken. It's really hard to tell the taste of the puffs are because it isn't exactly like chicken but it taste great.
Petit Choco Pie
Choco Pie is a very popular sweet from Lotte, it's basically two chocolate cake that has a vanilla marshmallow filling to make a sandwich. It isn't too sweet and I think it will go well with tea.
Color Pen Chocolate
This is a color pencil pen that is filled with mini chocolate balls. It's a very creative candy since you have the pen on top and the chocolate inside it. The chocolate was good, it was similar to M&M mini chocolate.
Gankoage Potato Chips
These potato chips are like the natural chips that are just seasoned with salt and sunflower oil. They were shaped as french fries which makes it easy to snack on. I definitely loved these and they look "healthy" so I think it wold be great to buy more.

Chameleon Candy
This is a very cool candy, just like a chameleon, this candy ball can change color as you suck on it. I got purple many times, even though the chart says it means unhappy, the flavor was pretty good.
Neri Ame Candy
So for this candy, all you have to do is knead the candy syrup with the provided chopsticks to create sticky candy. It's really hard to explain the flavor of the candy, it's very similar to regular Ramune, bubblegum soda.
Look Chocolate: Purple Sweet Potato & Chestnut
I've tried many flavor of Look Chocolate but not this one yet. Like I said previously, I don't really like sweet potato flavored stuff but this kind was pretty good along with chocolate. The chestnut was my favorite it's hard to explain the taste, it was like butter.
Tsunade Mini Figurine
For the bonus anime item, I got a blind box Tsunade figurine ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ They knew I liked Naruto so I'm really happy with this figurine. I'm going to set it up on my desk.
Kracie Takoyaki
This is a build your own Takoyaki with mayo and sauce to make it more realistic. If you haven't tried takoyaki you might think it will taste like that but I've eaten takoyaki many times and I think the sauce makes it taste different. Link to results.
Karl: Curry Flavor
Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes and I usually use the roux cubes such as golden curry or Vermont curry to make Japanese curry. These were amazing, it really tasted like curry and it wasn't too salty for a puff snack.
Golden Brown Shrimp Rice Cracker
As I've said a few times, I'm not the biggest fan of senbei especially the ones glazed with soy sauce. These were okay, I wish it had a stronger shrimp taste. If you look closely at the senbei, you can see the same dried shrimp around.
Everything in this box was great and delicious, I had a lot of favorites in this box such as the Karl curry, Look Chocolate, Pretz and beef jerky. Also liked the Neri Ame Candy even though it was very sticky. Overall, all the snacks in this box were fun to try and review. Although this subscription box service is new, they have a well established box, great customer service, and an amazing social media presence. They also have a cute mascot as well.
