we purchased a three month Bokksu snack
subscription plan which meant that for
three months we paid for one snack box
to be delivered each month to canada
which is where we live
we got a total of three boxes snack
boxes to try shipping was free for all
subscriptions
when at checkout we paid the
subscription fee in US dollars
and was charged in canadian dollars on
our credit card which automatically
included the US
exchange rate for that day
shipping for each Bokksu snack box was
different shipping to canada varied from
one to four weeks
from our experience from the first box
to the last we had shipping go from
seven days to 15 days then to the
longest of 28 days
the box was sent from japan via japan
post to canada via
Canada Post. sidenote... personally it was so
cool receiving mail from japan for the
first time
customer experience was very good their
staff was very responsive and friendly
they managed our expectations of when
they would get back to our question
the boxes were more streamlined now as
for past customers the boxes had varied
in size and look
as a new customer we receive Bokksu boxes
that are the same in color
design and we're typically this size
eight and a half inches (21.6 cm) there
eight and a half inches (21.6 cm) and then let's
look at the height it's your height here
4.25 (10.8 cm) maybe 4.25 inches
every box came with a culture guide
which provided a brief explanation of
the theme of the box
the snack the snacks name and the snacks
origin
the box included many rap japanese
snacks that may or may not have had
duplicates
seasons of japan theme box was the first
box that we received as new customer
ordering from bok su for the very first
time
this is the same for all new customers
for this box we got 16 different snacks
in total where for some snacks we got
two
in total we got 20 japanese premium
goodies afterwards we received the
monthly theme boxes which are different
each month
in each box we received 13 different
snacks in total but for some snacks we
got two
in total we got 20 japanese premium
goodies we did an in-depth review on
boxing and tasting of all three Bokksu
snack boxes we received head to the video
description below to get the links for
each video
all snacks came in their original
japanese packaging so a lot of japanese
words throughout each package
definitely use the culture guide to
identify which snack was what
each box came with at least one mochi
snack and a tea
the rest of the snacks varied from sweet
to savory

when we purchased our snack box
subscription we were required to create
an account with Bokksu
some features to be aware of that were
important to us in our box account were
shipping status of your box
next month's box if you're too excited
to wait
deactivating or pausing our subscription
please keep these in mind
we interrupt you live for this important
announcement thanks to Bokksu for giving
you our viewers 10
off your Bokksu purchase head to the video

the japanese value food a lot the
quality and thought that went into each
snack astounded us
we learned that certain snacks and food
themes vary per season such as fall was
themed by the eating of many various
sweet potatoes
we learned that japanese mochi was
squishy soft and doesn't stick to your
teeth
many times we were impressed with the
fact that we were eating a mini cake
mini pie or french pastry
these types of snacks are hard to come
by here in canada as our snacks
are nothing fancy and typically too
sweet we found many japanese snacks to
be right in the middle of sweetness
we were also impressed with a lot of the
french-inspired snacks
each snack was like a mini adventure
from the packaging to the snack itself
best of all we were getting local
japanese made snacks that we can't get
here in canada
in my opinion Bokksu is a great way to
treat yourself with premium japanese
snacks
COVID-19 canceled our trip to japan in
april 2020
so this became a sweet alternative in
having a glimpse into japanese culture
without setting foot into japan we got
to learn how the japanese treat each
season and which city specializes in for
food
we thoroughly enjoyed the quality
texture taste and experience of each
snack
in the meantime we have paused our
monthly subscription box as we
wanted to try Bokksu but not commit to
it permanently we still have the option
of restarting our subscription when
we're ready for another adventure to
japan through food

experience with Bokksu if you want a bit
