Sakura co boxes are a treat fo0r those who want to learn more about Japanese culture and destinations. Reading through the booklet each month gives you great insight into various locations across the country that would be fun to visit and a bit about their festivals, traditions, and history. Snack wise there are usually a few unique and truly cool snacks in each box, but some of them do just seem to be repetitive and uninteresting (maybe even very cheap) such as the breads, jellies, and crunchy chocolates. The price tag does admittedly seem high for what you get and would be more appropriately placed at around 20$ before shipping. 4 stars.
