Review: Unboxing Japan Crate Mystery Box - July Edition!

Yes, it's finally the time of the month again — we get the opportunity to unbox this month's Japan Crate's mystery box!

If you do not know what Japan Crate is, they are a Tokyo-based online monthly subscription service company. They aim to deliver the experience of Japan to you through these monthly boxes, also known as crates to your doorstep. You may find exclusive snacks and candies hand-picked by them and even a custom booklet that shares descriptions, instructions for the Do It Yourself (DIY) candy, monthly contests, and a custom in-house manga.

For the month of July, they have collaborated with Project Diva Mega Mix+, a premier rhythm game featuring the iconic Hatsune Miku- a world-famous virtual singer! The items in the mystery box are inspired by this blue-haired diva, her tunes, outfits, and other virtual singer friends.

Read on to find out what I think of the exclusive snacks and candies from the box!

Yogurt Lozenges 

This pack of yogurt lozenges candy is so delicious! It has a sweet and pleasant yogurt flavouring- so refreshing too. Besides, it contains herbal extracts and lactic acid that help to soothe the throat.

Rating: 8/10

Ginza Rusk White Milk

These small biscuit chucks, also known as rusks in Japan, are so toothsome and crunchy! Each biscuit chuck is dipped in white chocolate and coated with Hokkaido milk powder. Sweet but not too overwhelming.

Rating: 7/10

Cherry Gummies

This gummy is so intensely delicious and addictive! The moment I bite into this soft candy, it gives a delightful burst of cherry flavour.

Rating: 9.5/10

Crispy Mochi Taro

I absolutely love this snack! This crunchy bite-size cracker tastes like the Soy Sauce Rice Crackers from Muji- salty and savoury!

Rating: 9/10

Cream Collon

This caramel-flavoured waffle roll snack is so tasty. It is filled with fluffy, rich, and creamy filling that comes with the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for snacking!

Rating: 7.5/10

Mike Popcorn

This butter and soy sauce flavoured popcorn snack is so savoury! It has a buttery texture and tastes so flavourful, not overly salted!

Rating: 7/10

Petit Black Cocoa

This bite-size black cocoa biscuit is similar to the Oreo Mini Chocolate Bite Size Sandwich Cookies. The biscuit has a bittersweet flavor which goes perfectly well with the sweet vanilla cream.

Rating: 8/10

Corn & Salt Doritos

This is such a great snack for a movie! The salted corn chips have a nice crunch and are perfectly seasoned with the right amount of salt. 

Rating: 8/10

Cheezack

This crispy snack reminds me of the Oriental Super Ring Cheese Snack! It is filled with a creamy cheese filling that has a sweet flavoring!

Rating: 6/10

Ramune Whistling Candy

This deliciously ramune soda-flavored candy is so sweet and refreshing! Besides, this is a fun candy that allows you to make whistling sounds.

Rating: 7/10

Super Cool Ice Gum

This snowball-shaped gum has a refreshing mint flavour! It also leaves a cold sensation in your mouth as you chew!

Rating: 6.5/10

Caramel Popcorn Soda

This caramel popcorn soda-flavoured drink is so tasty and light! It feels as if you are snacking on popcorn. The caramel is so fragrant and the drink is not too sweet!

Cream Wafer Sticks

This snack has a similar texture as my favourite childhood snack, Apollo Chocolate Wafer Sticks Biscuits! The biscuit is crispy, flaky, and filled with sweet milk-flavored cream!

Kuppy Ramune

This candy is so soft! It comes with a mix of sweet fruity flavours like orange, strawberry, and lemon.

Rating: 8/10

Salt and White Chocolate Kit Kat
