A couple of weeks ago, the postman delivered to our doorstep a new WOWBOX to try! This time we received a different box than usual, the Fun & Tasty box, including some of the most peculiar snacks you can find in Japan. Let’s open it together and let’s see what’s inside!
As you know, with WOWBOX you can choose the theme of your box among those available. Starting from this month, however, Wowbox is all new: new logo, new website and mostly new themes! In fact, the boxes you can receive now are:
- Original Fun & Tasty, similar to the one we received and contains a selection of weird and original snacks.
- Kawaii & Beauty, offering low calories snacks with super kawaii packages (we received a couple of them).
- New & Limited, dedicated to the special editions of our favourite snacks.
- Dagashi, referring to the traditional snacks you can find in old stores. Wowbox suggests this box to the one of you who wishes to try Japanese snacks for the first time (it has also a very convenient price!).
Coming soon also a brand new gift option to give a Wowbox to one of your friends, with no subscription.
Are you hungry yet? Then, we make your stomach rumble showing the items included in our Wowbox! Unfortunately, we couldn’t eat everything because of some little health issues, but we received the help of one of our mothers, who couldn’t refuse to eat something for us. Here’s her favourites!
- Kiwami Black Curry: small crunchy and very spicy curry snacks. This is mum’s absolute favourite, since she really loves spicy foods.
- Pocky (brasilian Orange and coconut): two boxes with two very summer flavours for our favourite stick biscuits! The orange ones are dedicated to Rio Olympics.
- Umai bo (yakitori and pizza): the classic corn tubes that tastes pizza and yakitori. They are perfect for a break in between meals. Mum says they’re both very good!
Of course, we ate something too! Our three suggestions are:
- Mogu Chew (grape): soft candies that taste like grape. As usual, Japanese candies are very good and these in particular melt in your mouth.
- Hajikete Melon Soda: a sparkling melon-flavoured drink. Melon soda was always one of our favourite drinks, so we were really happy to taste it again, especially during this hot summer days.
- Jagarico (cream cheese): stick potato chips with a cheese flavour. The taste is really original: it’s salty but a little bit sweet at the same time. Very good!
Inside our WOWBOX there were also:
- Caramel Corn (salt vanilla): small corn snacks with a strange sweet and salty taste.
- Lifeguard Paste Candy: a very strange gel candy you eat sucking it from a little package. It wins the price for the “strangest candy in the box”.
- Sherbert Pero (pineapple):a lollipop you must mix with the powder you find in the package. We expected a fizz effect, but nothing happened. Who knows what the special effect is supposed to be?
- Dohn Taro: small noodle flavoured flakes you can eat by themselves or mixed to your actual noodles.
- Popin Cookin Kuru Kuru Takoyaki: a DIY candy kit to “cook” mini-takoyaki. Soon we will show you how they look like on Youtube!
- Giant Caplico (Melon cream soda): the classic Caplico cone, size extra large. This is maybe the snack mum liked less: a little too sweet for her taste!
- Color pen chocolate and Ramune blu hawaii: respectively a pen full of very small chocolates and soda-flavoured candies.
