REVIEW: Bokksu Snack Box | Adventures in Bentomaking

Addicted 2 Sushi — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 09:15:06 +0000

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Bokksu, a Japanese snack subscription box service, to see if I’d be interested in reviewing their Hokkaido box of snacks. I’d seen ads for this box a few times before, and I’ve subbed to snack subscriptions in the past, but I’ve never…

The best bento box for you really depends on your needs

Addicted 2 Sushi — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 06:15:07 +0000

As you may know, I was kind of away from this site for a while. Although I was still writing about food here and there, and about various topics related to Japan and Japanese culture, I have been rather absent from the world of bentos. Well OK, I did write…

Japanese Snack Reviews: ZenPop date night box

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sun, 04 Aug 2019 04:15:04 +0000

Things in life don’t always go as planned. I had hoped to do proper reviews of everything in this box, but two people who were important to me died suddenly and unexpectedly shortly after I received it. One of them was my best friend in high school and her husband…

ZenPop Sweets Box February 2019 unboxing (Cheese!)

Addicted 2 Sushi — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 19:15:04 +0000

When I was a child, I remember a commercial which showed a gorilla tossing around Samsonite luggage as a way of demonstrating how tough it was. Though I doubt gorillas tossed my ZenPop box around, it did encounter some sort of trauma in shipping. The boxes themselves are quite sturdy…

ZenPop “Peach Festa Pack” box unboxing

Addicted 2 Sushi — Wed, 02 May 2018 06:15:27 +0000

I didn’t expect to be doing two Zenpop “unboxing” posts in a row. In fact, I expected to review the items in the previous box. I have a good excuse. No, really, I do. If you don’t think what I have to say is a sufficient reason, then you haven’t…

ZenPop Sweets “Red and White” Box (Unboxing)

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 17 Feb 2018 09:15:04 +0000

In the first few years after I returned to the U.S., I took my sister-in-law to the “Daiso Japan” shops in the Bay Area. The Daiso is a hundred yen (dollar) store in Japan and other parts of Asia, but most things are a $1.50 in the U.S. When my…

Oyatsu Box Dagashi Edition (Unboxing & Service Review)

Addicted 2 Sushi — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 07:15:03 +0000

Back when I was still living in Japan, people who read this blog would occasionally ask me why I didn’t start a business selling the snacks I wrote about. My answer was always that I’d done mail order before (Japanese KISS collectible items, mainly records), and it’s generally not worth…

Japanese Snack Reviews: ZenPop Sweets Box (Unboxing)

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 05:15:04 +0000

I have to admit that I’ve been away longer than anticipated and part of the reason for that was that I bought another Japan box from a particular entity and it was so disappointing that I lost my mojo for talking about Japanese snacks. Yes, I am quite the delicate…
