We at Japanfoodstyle just love diving into all things Japanese, from yummy snacks to “made in Japan” cookware. You know, Japan is like the king of top-quality stuff, known for putting in that extra precision and detail into everything they make. When it comes to Japanese products, you’re talking about top-notch quality, super durability, and loads of careful innovation.
You’ll definitely be convinced in my words once you get to touch anything that comes from Japan, they’re so good.
Now, let’s talk about Japanese snacks. They’re like little flavor bombs with textures that just make your taste buds dance. Made from the best ingredients, these snacks are crafted with so much care to make sure every bite is a delicious and satisfying experience.
Some of the most popular Japanese snacks include Pocky, KitKat, Senbei, Jagariko, Tokyo Banana, and Kinoko no Yama. Japanese snacks are often available in different flavors and varieties that are not available anywhere else in the world.
Today, we received a package from Sugoi Mart, a Japanese online shop dedicated to everything Japan has to offer from food and snacks, to drinks, collectibles, appliances, beauty, games, and more.
Sugoi Mart Lucky Bag: What’s Inside?
The shipping was so fast (3 days), the package included the following items:
- Rice Maker Mug
- Doritos chips avocado flavor
- Maki container
- Matcha powder / Wasabi
- Sugoi Mart Lucky Bag
The Rice Maker Mug Review:
Let me tell you about this awesome thing I got from the package, the Rice Maker Mug. It’s not your average mug, that’s for sure! First off, it’s made of solid porcelain, so you know it’s durable and can handle some serious cooking action.
Now, the coolest part is that you can actually use it to cook rice. Yep, you heard that right! Just add your rice and water, pop it in the microwave or on the stove, and voila! Perfectly cooked rice in no time. It’s like having a mini rice cooker right in your mug.
But wait, there’s more! This mug isn’t just for rice; it doubles up as a handy container for soups, stews, or even snacks. Plus, if you’re into herbal teas, it’s great for keeping your drink warm for longer, thanks to its porcelain material.
In terms of size, it’s pretty roomy too, so you can cook up a good amount of rice or fill it up with your favorite soup without worrying about spillage.
The shape is robust and sturdy, and the classic design means it’ll fit right in with any kitchen decor. It’s functional, practical, and versatile—all in one mug!
Doritos chips avocado flavor
The cheesy typical flavor of a classic Doritos with a hint of avocado flavor that gives it more depth and quite a good refreshing taste, the green color as a reference to avocado makes it really unique for a Doritos.
I don’t think this flavor exists anywhere else except Japan!
Maki container:
This small maki container that will eventually make the maki making process easy.
We will post an update with photos on how to use it while preparing maki.
Matcha powder / Wasabi
I also got this matcha powder, straight from the heart of Japan. This stuff is legendary, let me tell you and it’s my favorite. It’s not just your average green tea powder – it’s like a superfood ninja in a tin. You can use it for everything, from making a soothing cup of matcha tea to whipping up some delicious matcha-flavored treats like cookies or smoothies.
And the color?
Oh wow, that vibrant green is like nature’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m packed with antioxidants and good vibes!”
A little bit about that Uji matcha.
Now, where do I even begin? This vibrant green powder isn’t just a trendy drink; it’s full with goodness that goes beyond its delicious taste.
Let me break down why uji matcha is not just another tea but a supercharged elixir of health benefits.
- Antioxidant Superhero: Uji matcha is like the superhero of antioxidants. It’s jam-packed with these powerful compounds that fight off free radicals, keeping our cells happy and healthy. That means less oxidative stress and more vitality for us!
- Zen in a Cup: Ever had a cup of matcha and felt simultaneously energized and calm? That’s the magic of L-theanine, an amino acid in matcha that promotes relaxation without making you feel drowsy. It’s like a mini zen retreat in every sip.
- Metabolism Booster: Need a little help with your metabolism? Uji matcha’s got your back. Thanks to its catechin content, it can give your metabolism a gentle nudge, which may help with weight management and fat burning.
- Brain Boost: Forget brain fog; uji matcha is here to clear the mental cobwebs. The combo of caffeine and L-theanine gives your brain a natural kickstart, improving focus, alertness, and overall cognitive function.
- Happy Heart: Sip on some matcha for a happier heart. Studies suggest that regular matcha consumption may help lower cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health, keeping your ticker in tip-top shape.
- Detox Darling: With its high chlorophyll levels, uji matcha is like a detox superhero. Chlorophyll helps flush out toxins, supports liver health, and leaves you feeling refreshed from the inside out.
- Immune Warrior: Boost your immune system with a daily dose of matcha. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it’s like giving your body an extra layer of defense against pesky colds and infections.
- Steady Energy: Unlike the rollercoaster ride of energy from coffee, matcha provides a smooth, sustained boost. No jitters, no crashes—just steady energy to power you through your day.
Whether you’re sipping a warm cup of matcha latte or adding a sprinkle of uji matcha to your morning smoothie, know that you’re not just indulging in a delightful drink; you’re treating your body to a wealth of health benefits.
Trust me, once you dive into the world of matcha, you won’t look back. It’s a game-changer, my friend and I pretty sure you’ll love it too.
I made yummy matcha cookies with it, with almond flour, it tasted amazing. 
Wasabi paste was also included as part of the package, and it goes nicely with maki too. 
The Sugoi Mart Lucky Bag:
This lucky bag contained the 10 following snacks:
KitKat Banana Caramel
So seriously Yummy, I just love it!
You take a bite, and bam! You’re hit with this burst of banana flavor that’s just so dang good. It’s like a party in your mouth, I swear. And the caramel? Yeah, it’s there, but it’s kinda playing second fiddle to the banana vibe, you know what I mean? So if you’re all about that banana life, this snack is totally your jam.
Plus, it’s got that classic KitKat chocolate taste holding it all together, which just takes it to the next level. Trust me, once you start munching on these, you won’t be able to stop – they’re that good!
Pocky Sakura Matcha
And here’s another delightful sweet treat that awaits me! As I indulge in this snack, I can’t help but appreciate the perfect harmony of flavors that the combination of matcha and sakura brings.
The subtle yet distinct taste of matcha blends seamlessly with the delicate floral notes of sakura, creating a flavor profile that is truly unique. What I love most is that despite its sweetness, this snack isn’t overpowering; it strikes just the right balance, leaving me satisfied without feeling overwhelmed by sugar.
It’s a lovingly refreshing change from the usual overly sweet snacks we are used to, and I find myself savoring every bite, enjoying the nuanced taste that this delightful mix has to offer.
I can’t wait to try the next treat that hides in the box.
Pringles Premium
Oh man, let me tell you about these Pringles Premium chips I just tried. They’re not your ordinary snack, that’s for sure! These chips are like a flavor explosion in your mouth, especially the truffles flavor. It’s not your run-of-the-mill potato chip; it’s got this fancy, gourmet vibe going on.
Now, when they say “premium,” they mean it. The truffles flavor is so unique and distinct, it’s like they took a regular chip and upgraded it to a whole new level. It’s got this rich, earthy taste that’s just on point. You can tell they didn’t skimp on quality here.
Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking, “How fancy can a Pringle get?” But after trying these, I get it. They totally justify that “premium” label. It’s like treating yourself to a little taste of luxury without breaking the bank. If you’re into gourmet flavors and want something different from your usual chips, these Pringles Premium are definitely worth a try.
Lipton Sakura tea
Ah, Lipton Sakura tea – it’s like a sip of springtime in a cup! You know, with the sakura season in full bloom, this tea is just hitting the spot. It’s like they bottled up all the goodness of those beautiful cherry blossoms and infused it right into the tea leaves. I just love this tea and couldn’t get enough of it.
So refreshing and delicate, it’s the perfect companion for those sunny spring afternoons or cozy evenings.
Moshi
Moshi! It’s like biting into a cloud that’s been lightly dusted with sugary goodness. The first thing you notice is how soft and bouncy it is, almost like a pillow for your taste buds. Then comes that hint of sweetness from the sprinkled sugar on top – not too much, just enough to make you smile. It’s the kind of snack you can’t help but reach for when you need a little pick-me-up during the day.
Fish cake snack:
Now this is a real treat, especially for the kiddos. Imagine biting into this crunchy delight and finding a delicious surprise inside – a smooth chocolate paste that adds just the right amount of sweetness. And let’s talk about the design – it’s super cute! The fish shape adds to the fun factor, making it not just a snack but also a little adventure in every bite. Perfect for kids (and let’s be honest, adults love it too!).
The bag also contained: 2 marshmallow candies, Redbull Japanese version ocean blue and gummies.
My experience with this snack combo: two fluffy marshmallow candies, a can of Red Bull’s Japanese version in ocean blue, and a pack of mouthwatering gummies. It’s like a mini party in your hands! The marshmallows are so soft and squishy, just the way I like them. Pair that with the refreshing kick of the ocean blue Red Bull, and you’ve got a unique flavor experience that’s both energizing and fun.
And those cute little gummies? They’re bursting with fruity goodness, adding a chewy texture that balances out the sweetness perfectly. It’s a snack trio that hits all the right notes – sweet, tangy, and oh-so-satisfying!
All I can say about this Sugoi Mart gift box is WOW!
