I was thrilled when Skoshbox let me review one of their boxes. Skoshbox is a subscription box that sends out candies, snacks and accessories. I love learning about new cultures and trying new things. My family's favorite restaurant is a wonderful Japanese place nearby. I was excited to try some new foods from Japan. Skoshbox is $12.00 a month and ships free. I enlisted the help of my husband C, son L (Age 4) to help taste everything.
Everything ships in this little brown box.
I loved the first look. The box came with Chopsticks!!
The Information Card
The information card has all the the items in the box. It also has a description of each product and the ingredients of each item. I thought the ingredients list was a thoughtful touch. This helps protect anyone with food allergies.
All the Goodies
I love how colorful the products look in the box. I couldn't wait to try the items.
Umaibo
This is what it looks like inside
This is a puffed corn snack in cheese and corn potage flavors. I thought this tasted like a cheese ball (the chips), only slightly different. L loved it too. My husband doesn't like puffed cheese things, but he thought it was okay.
Almond Rush
L didn't try this. I thought this was very good and would like to have more of it. C really liked it. He loves sweet things.
Mini Salad
This is rice crackers with a salad dressing like coating. It didn't sound too good. I let L have the first taste (he likes salads and I don't). He wasn't crazy about it. I tried it and didn't think it was too bad. The rice cracker is good and the coating is a mild taste. My husband C, likes them.
Milk Caramel
These are soft, chewy pieces of caramel. I am not a caramel fan, but all three of us loved these.
Fruit Gummy
My son L would eat about anything in gummie form. L loved these. I had to really convince him to let me try one too. I tried the grape and it was shaped like a heart. It was very flavorful.
Elise Stick
Elise Stick product
This was perhaps my favorite product. This is a crispy wafer stick with a rich creamy milk or matcha filling. This was very sweet and yummy. It reminds me of the wafer cookies with the cream that you find in grocery stores. L, C and I all loved it.
Suzume No Tamago
These are peanuts coated in a crisp rice cracker shell. These taste like sweet candy coated peanuts. C and I both liked these. L has a peanut allergy and so he can't eat these. I am thankful for the ingredient list, so I didn't let him eat one.
Cheese Kibun
This is a rice cracker coated with a blast of cheese. L and I loved these. They have a toasted taste to them. Who doesn't like stuff covered in cheese?
Fuwa Fuwa Jelly
This is fluffy marshmellow jelly. I got the melon flavor. This tasted like a gumdrop. It was surrounded by sugar and had a melon taste. I took a small bite so I could share a bit with L. L gobbled it down! He was a fan.
Hashi
I loved getting my own pair of chopsticks!
The whole box
Final Thought: I really enjoyed this box. I was skeptical how much I would actually like the snacks. They weren't as different as I thought they were going to be. I wish there was pictures on the card, but I was glad to know there were pictures of each item on the website. I would also like to have had like to have something to tell me how to say each item. I really enjoyed the unique snacks in this box. While we get lots of food boxes at my house, they are not always devoured in a few hours. Our Skoshbox has been eaten!
