Japan Candy Box September 2018 "Autumn Traditions" Review

Japan Candy info sheet

This box came with an illustrated info sheet for details on the products included. This month’s theme is Autumn Traditions!

Japan Candy matcha 1 Japan Candy matcha 2

Tirol Chocolate - Matcha Mochi

These are chocolate covered matcha green tea flavored mochi, and it was a weird experience to combine all of those flavors. The mochi filling had the texture of a firm gummy bear and chewing it was strange.

Japan Candy lemon mint 1 Japan Candy lemon mint 2

Heart Girls Treat Lemon Peppermint Gummy

These are really chewy gummies that start off with a zesty lemon flavor that switches to a peppermint so minty it made my lips tingle! This was a fun treat to try.

Japan Candy bourbon 1 Japan Candy bourbon 2

Bourbon Choco Anpan - Melon Pan Flavor

I don’t think there is actual bourbon in these chewy biscuits. I found them to be a tiny bit powdery, but the white chocolate filling was yummy!

Yaokin Umaibo - Cinnamon Apple Pie

I love umaibos- they are one of my favorite Japanese snack discoveries! They have the texture of one giant cheese puff, but there are truly some unique flavors out there. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this cinnamon apple pie version, but it reminded me of Apple Jacks and I loved it.

Yaokin Sour Paper Candy - Green Apple

These are gummy belts that you can peel off into individual straws. They are fun to eat and the green apple flavor was juicy and delicious.

Mochi Mixed Flavor Candy Box

I have had a similar treat, only these had way more flavors! Each color represents a different flavor, and these remind me a lot of mini starbursts!

Japan Candy almond 1 Japan Candy almond 2 Japan Candy almond 3

Glico Almond Caramel Cubes

These started off a bit powdery in texture, but as I kept chewing I really enjoyed the flavor. The almond was very pronounced, but the caramel is a nice back note.

Japan Candy pineapple 1 Japan Candy pineapple 2 Japan Candy pineapple 3

Hi-Chew Chewy Candy - Ishigaki Okinawa Pineapple

I love hi-chews! And I love pineapple! This combined for a juicy and delicious chew that starts off a bit firm but makes my tastebuds sing.

Meiji Takenoko No Sato Chocolate Biscuits

These are milk chocolate covered biscuits, but unfortunately, my bag opened during transit. The biscuits looked a bit stale, so I decided to play it safe and not eat them.

Japan Candy grape 1 Japan Candy grape 2

Nihon Kibi Dango Snack

This was weird. It had a wrapper that wouldn’t really remove and I think is edible? The flavor was a bit grapey, but I couldn’t get around the potentially edible wrapper.

The Verdict: This month really lived up to trying unique snacks straight from Japan! While not every snack was my favorite, I had fun trying all of the different treats that are Japanese Autumn traditions.

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

Love your reviews! If the last candy is anything like a candy from my childhood, th edible paper is rice paper. Literally dissolves when it’s gets in your mouth. Looks like that to me.
