WowBox New & Limited February 2017 Review
Hi everyone! It is Kristi doing a guest review this month! I have tried a couple of different Wowboxes, but haven't had one in a while. I'm excited to try the New & Limited large box this month!
WOWBOX is a Japanese candy subscription starting at $14.99/month. They have five different themes of boxes: Fun & Tasty (regular or large), Kawaii & Beauty (regular or large), New & Limited (regular or large), and Dagashi (small only-best value!). There is a new Trial Tasting (one size only) as well.
Fun and Tasty boxes are filled with all the fun, tasty, and weird treats Japan is known for, as well as DIY snacks. Kawaii & Beauty boxes are filled with low-calorie treats beauty enhancing snacks, and candies with Kawaii characters. New & Limited are brand new, never before seen flavors, anime tie-ins, and one time only treats that sell out fast. Dagashi is an assortment of old-school classic candies found in neighborhood candy shops. The new Trial Tasting has an all star selection from previous Fun & Tasty, Dagashi, or Kawaii & Beauty boxes.

First look!
**To see what you are eating you go to their website and pick your box. There are also nutrition factsH
Haru Potato Sour Cream Cheese: These are crunchy special chips enhance with sour cream and cheese. These were a definite hit!!
Bakauke (Matcha): Get a traditional taste of Japan with these crackers, dusted with the refreshing taste of green tea powder. These were also a hit. I tasted a little sweet too!
Aji Karuta (Karasi Mentaiko): Featuring a spicy mentaiko flavor, this Japanese rice cracker is a fantastic snacking option. This had spice, but not too much, and was very tasty. I'm loving the salty snacks this month!
Caramel Corn Hina Matsuri: A classic sweet snack in Japan gets a makeover for the annual doll festival! But the rich caramel taste remains. I'm a sucker for caramel corn, and this didn't disappoint! They are nice sweet caramel puffs.
Ichigo an Dora Yaki Milk Flavor: A classic Japanese treat, this dorayaki features a rich milk taste and strawberry alongside a traditional bean paste. I'm super bummed because I accidentally let this one expire 🙁 Anything with bean past is sooooo good!
LOOK The Japan Assort: This features chocolate, alongside green tea, kinako and brown sugar (all the traditional flavors of Japan). This was great! It was chocolate with a twist!
Sakeru Gummy Tsubu Tsubu Ichigo: This gummy delight splits off into small pieces sporting a strawberry flavor. There were seven individually wrapped candies in here. The taste was awesome, but it had the texture of gum. I'm a little strange about texture, but the taste was great!
Toku Coi Milk 8.2 Chocolate: These hard candies features tasty chocolate inside each piece. These sounded interesting! The hard shell had a very mild sweet, almost milky taste. There was actual soft chocolate inside. These were yummy and different!
Coconut Sable (Cultured Butter): These coconut biscuit gets an extra dash of richness courtesy of some special butter. There were four individual packs, each with five biscuits. I'm not a fan of butter, but these had a light yummy taste and reminded me of a Girl Scout Cookie.
Mintia (Le Lectier): These are tiny tablets, featuring a lovely pear taste. I could gobble these down! These were super-pear tasting!
Kaga Bo Hougi Cha: This is a roasted green tea drink, perfect for when you need to relax a bit. I like that they include a drink! It's fun to try drinks from other countries.
Final Thought: I like this box a lot. I felt like it had the variety I like (such as salty snacks). There was a drink, gummies, sweets, savory, crunch, soft. Just like the box said, these were new, never before seen flavors. There was nothing in the box that I had tried before. There were 11 items, and the large box says 10-14, so I maybe would like to see at least one more item in it for the cost. You can check out WOWBOX with this link.
