“I was a bit worried cuz it cost a bit, but I realised it was all worth it. So pleased with the selection of goodies and the info leaflet. I want to keep subscribing”
“This was the easiest and best decision regarding a treat subscription box. After seeing the advertisement online and doing a bit of research, I'm holeheartedly happy I chose Sakuraco. For me, snacks are snacks (though I will admit to greatly appreciating this month's) but I am also interested in learning. The info booklet was the selling point for me. Learning about what and where the snacks come from is just as important to me and Sakuraco delivered!”
“I'm absolutely over the moon (pun intended) with this month's theme, Kyoto's moon-viewing festival! The selection of snacks was delightful, personally I loved everything that came with it, and the care that goes into the whole ensemble is just endearing. It really feels very special. I especially love the Tsukimi plate, in my opinion the most beautiful piece of dishware they have included yet.
There were slight technical shipping hiccups, but everything arrived in a timely manner and without any bigger issues!
I'm only disappointed that the box wasn't inside another cardboard box, instead just having a shipping label stuck straight onto it. I would have loved to re-use the box if it weren't for that, and another layer of protection could probably have prevented some broken cookies, too!
Overall, very happy with it!”
“I received my very first SAKURACO box during the month of September. I am so glad I have subscribed!
The teas, savory snacks, sweet treats, and baked goods that came in this box are so delicious. I'm satisfying cravings I didn't even know I had and was able to explore a new type of tea.
The box also came with an informational booklet that describes each item in the box, the item's history and regional history where the item was created. I really enjoyed reading about every item.
SAKURACO is awesome, I'll be keeping my subscription!”
“I've done lots of different subscription boxes but this is my absolute favourite. The diversity of treats and the stories behind them are just the best.”
“I love the variety and the quality. Each month has a different quality tea, usually some mochi, chocolate, a pastry and a cute little collectible like a dish or chopsticks. It’s a fun way to treat myself and learn more about the Japanese culture!”
“The beautiful packaging and info booklet make the delicious treats that much better! It's been a wonderful experience getting to taste authentic Japanese treats! My husband and I love opening this box every month!”
“I loved the box. I was able to not only enjoy the snacks and sweets, but I was also able to learn a lot from the booklet inside. Everyone thought the plate inside was beautiful. I am glad I sent one to my aunt as a gift. She was excited about the box as well.”
“Authentic Kyoto confections was what I was anticipating and it was not disappointing. The added touch of the Tsukimi ceramic dish was a true omotenashi …”
“Selection of products for our box was great. Every day I look at the box on the table, open it, and pick a treat. It sounds like a small thing, bit it adds delight to begin the day!”
“Love the snacks, some more than others. And absolutely love the homeware or little gifts in some boxes. I wish there were more homeware, plates, cups in every box. My only complaint is the high price for shipping... which is 1/3 of the total price.”
“Opening the first box was a holiday experience. The box itself is beautiful, and the presentation of the information booklet and the snacks and tea inside is immaculate. Everything fits so nicely.
Sorting through and reading about the snacks and tea is fun, and ingredient information is given in the booklet as well.
The saddest thing was creating a pile of snacks we could have, and a pile of snacks that we could not have. I went to the Sakuraco site to see if there was an option for a totally vegan box, but to no avail.
This box subscription was a gift to us, and we're so excited to get them for the next couple of months, but I'm really not looking forward to the same ritual of sorting out the snacks we can't have. ):
If there was an option for a totally vegan box, even if it meant repeats of snacks, I would renew this subscription for myself.”
“My first box arrived in just thirteen days of my order being placed. Everything in the box is so colorful and fun. I love the booklet that has so much information about every item in the box, as well as history about the city, and the tsukimi festival. I really like the little card, with the note on the back of it. I can't wait for my next box!”
