At Japan Food Style, we love Japanese snacks!
Today, We received a package from TokyoTreat, a famous Japanese subscription-based service that delivers you a box full of unique and fun Japanese candies and snacks every month. Each box has a hand-picked collection of Japanese snacks.
With the mission slogan “We don’t want to just share the coolest and craziest Japanese snacks and candy every month -we want to give you a taste of modern life in Japan!“, the company based in Tokyo Japan, has been launched in 2015 by Tokyo native Ayumi. It has some interesting brand sisters, like Sacurako for Japanese snack & candy boxes, yumeTwins for Japanese Kawaii boxes, and nmnl for beauty boxes from Japan and Korea.
The April 2023 box we received was about sakura picnic party, since cherry blossoms are blooming all over Japan in this period.
