“Absolutely beautiful box. I originally won this box in a contest and I am so happy I did because I never would have discovered this. My absolute favorite would be the informative booklet provided. It elaborates on the treats included in the box. I love learning information and so this was a real treat for me to learn all about the delightful snacks in the box. Upon tasting one of the snacks, I was entirely blown away. I have never tasted such incredibly unique foods in all my life. Once again, I am so happy I got an opportunity to try this box. I plan to save up so that I may be able to order another box in the future.”
“The Sakuraco box July is wonderful trip to Hokkaido! I can’t easily choose which item is my favorite , so I choose two! 😝 Melon soft sand was SOOOOO smooth and so intense Hokkaido melon filling , I LOVED It! Also, I absolutely loved Yawaraka rum raisin, it tastes so good, along with my tea, that moisture and aromas... mmmm!!!!! Looking forward for my august box!”
“They arrived on the first day of the month even though it was Canada Day. The booklet with the stories and the descriptions is amazing. My boyfriend and I absolutely enjoyed them.”
“Every month you get a great variety of delicious snacks following an interesting and unique theme. The shipping is fast and reliable since it comes with a tracking number. The may box was mochi & Sakura ( Japanese cherry blossom) themed my favourite snack was the fig dorayaki.”
“The box is packed full of a variety of snacks, no filler at all. They are large enough to share, or they provide two of the small items.
I love the monthly post card which features japanese art, and dispIay each month on my cork board.
I took one star off because the household items have been plastic. I understand that plastic is less likely to break during shipping but I would rather get a smaller item of a nicer material (chopsticks, furoshiki, soy sauce dish...) then anything plastic.”
“The subscription is well worth the price, with a variety of sweet, salty, and savory Japanese snacks that utilize traditional ingredients, often times innovated in new, modern ways!”
“Beautiful box of sweets and snacks that can be enjoyed by everyone. I can tell how much detail and thought is put together for each box every month and I have thoroughly enjoyed every box so far. My favourite are the mochi. The best mochi I have ever had and also I have been enjoying monaka alot thanks to the box introducing it to me.”
“Shipping was very prompt, and the snacks they sent were well curated and delicious! I also appreciate the booklet they included that gives background on the makers.”
“I got the July 2021 box. I was very excited to get my first box from Sakuraco after seeing the pictures and I was very impressed! There were just a few problems. For one, the only shipping option I had was expensive which they said was because of COVID and all which I get. Also I was slightly disappointed by the quality of the side dish as it was slightly scratched when it came. But nonetheless I am still looking forward to the next box I will be getting!”
“I’ve never signed up for a subscription service before, but the first box I received from Sakuraco was delivered swiftly and filled with well-curated and high-quality products. I’m looking forward to next month’s box as well.”
“Sakuraco is a very special subscription service. The snacks included are seasonal and more traditionally japanese than what you usually get in these services. The monthly postcards and household items are also beautiful and high quality. Very recommendable to anyone interested in japanese culture cuisine.”
“I am SO excited by the August - Okinawa Sakura box!!! The sweets are so unique and they transfer me to the beautiful coasts and flavors of the Japanese islands . The unique purple potato is so interesting and the fact is that I cannot choose which sweet treat is my favorite 😆 Thank you so much !!!”
“I did a 6 month plan, and have looked forward to my box every month. There is always a variety of textures, from jellies to mochi to baked treats, and almost always a crispy savory cracker of some sort too. I'm not as enamored with the dishware, it has all been plastic so far, but it is very pretty. I will probably be renewing my subscription when it comes due.”
“Everything was delicious, and very well packaged. I had multiple types of delicate cookies and none of them were broken. It was fun opening the box and finding each new snack! My favs were the melon cream cookie, the melon jelly, and the milk mochi.”
“DHL delivery is phenomenal, 2 days tops. Generous, varied collection worth every penny. I do have guilt twinges about shipping so far, so I choose every other month. I will be checking local Japanese grocery next visit and order my favs from Japan Haul.
I have many favorites: super-buttery mochi senbei, unusual cheesecake with cheese pieces, smooth yubari pudding, wonderful tea.”
