Review: Unboxing Japan Crate Mystery Box - June Edition!
As most parts of Japan are experiencing the rainy season during the start of Summer, between early June to mid-July, the theme for this month's crate is Tsuyu (rainy). Hence, you may expect to find delicious snacks perfect for the indoors in this crate!
Tsuyu is also pronounced as baiu,うめ.
If you have not heard of Japan Crate, they deliver the experience of Japan to you through 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.
Read on to find out some of the exclusive snacks and candies I have received from Japan Crate- June edition and what I think of them!
Gaba Chewing Cola
This cola flavoured soft candy is so good! It has the right amount of sweetness with a refreshing aftertaste. What's more, this candy contains an ingredient, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), that helps to calm the mind and body.
Rating: 8/10
Pachi Pachi Panic Cola
This candy reminds me of my childhood sweet, Geef Magic Dust Candy! It is so enjoyable as the pieces of cola-flavoured candy crackle in your mouth. It also contains a mixture of ramune soda-flavoured candy; so tasty!
Rating: 9/10
Shimichoco (Caffé Latte Flavoured)
This cute crunchy star-shaped biscuit is so yummy, and I could not get enough of it! It is so sweet and aromatic.
Rating: 9.5/10
Chewing Gum (Grape Flavoured)
It gets juicier as I chew and the grape is very fragrant and delicious!
Rating: 8/10
Bonchi Rice Crackers
This cracker reminded me of the Fried Soy Sauce Cracker from Muji! It is so crispy and perfectly coated with light soy sauce. So savoury!
Rating: 9/10
Diamond Candy Ring (Strawberry Flavoured)
This candy is similar to the Ring POP Childhood Candy I used to have when I was younger! However, this does not taste as sweet, but it is still a fun and enjoyable candy to snack on!
Rating: 7/10
White Pikola Cookie(Condensed Milk Flavoured)
This white chocolate cookie is filled with condensed Milky goodness and the sweetness lingers in your mouth! It has a similar texture to the Want Want Wafer Roll.
Rating: 7.5/10
Tirol Chocolate
The chocolate is so creamy and it tasted like the childhood coin chocolate! I was surprised as the inside was filled with soft milk nougat that gives a chewy texture!
Rating: 6.5/10
Fortune Chocolate (Strawberry Flavoured)
These strawberry milk chocolates are too sweet for my liking. It also contains a strong artificial strawberry flavouring which I am not a big fan of!
Rating: 5/10
Edamame Snack
This small bite-sized edamame snack is so crunchy! Plus, it is perfectly seasoned with the right amount of salt! I enjoyed eating this without feeling guilty as it is non-fried and only less than 100 calories.

Kajiricho Cola & Soda Candy
This candy comes with two layers- soda flavoured on the inside and cola flavoured on the outside. It is so soft, chewy, and refreshing!

Roll Candy (Grape Flavoured)
This delicious grape flavoured candy has a jelly texture, and it leaves a sour aftertaste!

Triangle Cracker (Vegetable Flavoured)
This snack is so savoury! It has a salty and mild vegetable taste. I have to say, this cracker is my favourite snack in the crate!
