Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share with you Japan Crate's November crate!I was super excited to hear that this one would be coming with a Funassyi snack :D
Every japan Crate arrived within three days of shipment, which is great because you will always know when it will arrive~
such candy
The fisrt item I pulled out was this month's bonus item: a blind box Naruto figure! I don't know this character's name but let's just call her "creepy purple eyes"
Next, we have the "Fluffy Long Neck Marshmallow," aka, a long marshmallow twist with a very long name. The colors on this marshmallow twist were very cute and pastel, and it was very delicious~
The next candy I received was cookies and cream Peejoy! These seem to be a popular candy with subcscription boxes, along with Pocky and Pretz. The cookie outer layer is chocolate, and inside is a very smooth cream filling =w= they sort of remind me of those cream-filled cereal straws from a while back
either way, these are probably my favorite Peejoy snack
The next snack I got was Hot Chili Salad Pretz! As I said, you are almost 100% guaranteed to receive a box of either Peejoy, Pocky, or Pretz, and this month I received both Peejoy and Pretz. By no means am I complaining, because Hot Chili Salad Pretz is a gift sent from the spicy and flavor gods. It has a great balance of flavor, kick, and seasonings
The next snack I received were the Purple Sweet Potato Sticks. I'm not going to lie, these weren't my favorite due to their smell and odd flavor. They had a slightly fruity taste mixed with the sweet potato which just wasn't my thing
The next candy I got were three Black Thunder chocolate bars! They are kind of like extreme Rice Krispy treats, with chocolate and cookie bits. I really liked these, they had a good texture and felt like an entire meal on it's own! And, unlike Rice Krispy treats, these were very heavy and filling
The next candy I received was the "Superstring Q," which could also double as the name of an erotic panty brand. This was like a very long ans thin gummy worm, and tasted about the same. It was very fun to eat ~
The next item I received was Glico Man Caramel & Toy, which contained two little boxes: one with a toy, one with candy!
The toy was a little wooden rocket, which came in three pieces, accompanied by chewy, heart-shaped caramels. I'm not sure if the rocket was supposed to be a sort of puzzle or not, but it was cute either way, plus the caramels were extremely good
The next candy I got was Pachishuwa Grape soda Mix, which I decided to rename as "sugar Crack" since it looks like a funky new drug that all the kawaii-desu kids are doing. This candy was described as "exactly what grape soda would be like if you could eat it instead of drink it," although I think Welch's fruit snacks already claimed that market. It tasted like a mix of jelly beans, pop rocks, and dried sour-patch kid flakes, which made for a very sour and grape taste. It wasn't bad, it just looked and felt a bit odd. (come to think of it, it could also be called "grape amoebas")
The next snack I got was Uranai-kko Bubble gum! This gum came with a little kawaii rabbit on the package, and each stick of gum came with a fortune written on it, which I could not read. These gum sticks also reminded me of Undertaker's sotoba
just saying
The next candy I received were Meiji Diced Caramels!
(the boxes were super cute omg)
Each box contained one individually wrapped caramel. I really enjoyed these candies, even though you had to go through a bunch of layers to get to them xD Caramel was another big theme this month
The next item I received was another gum, called SPY vs SPY Sour Gum. This gum was indeed sour, so sour that I actually couldn't chew if for more than 10 seconds before spitting it out >3> Maybe I'm just weak, but this gum was VERY cour, inn a strong chemical way. I probably won't be saving the rest of it
Now....begins the true fun...
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Funassyi candy was, in fact, a DIY kit!
The DIY kit came with a plastic Funassyi cup and straw, and a baggy of pear mix.
The DIY kit also required milk and ice. Here were the instructions for making the drink:
1. Fill cup to line with milk
2. Add an ice cube and the powder
3. Put on lid
4. shake well until powder is dissolved
And the final result...
~Thoughts~
Overall, this crate probably had the most activity-based snacks out of all their other crates! There were lots of fun snacks that you could sort of "play" with, like the long gummy string, the little boxed caramels, the rocket toy, and of course, the DIY kit. I seriously enjoyed this month's Japan Crate, and hope they keep up with the super-fun snacks! As I have said in my past reviews, I will always recommend Japan Crate for a large variety of fun and unique snacks <3
