 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. This is for Snaku. Once again, this is the December box Which I think they shipped the December box a little bit earlier than usual Which I think is probably because you know holidays and all that kind of stuff So I already looked at what some of the stuff on the card is supposed to be with this box and it looks pretty good I'm pretty excited about it, especially off the heels of the November box which was Potentially my least favorite box I've ever gotten from Snaku just because it was t-themed and there was a lot of matcha stuff And I just I'm not a not a matcha guy. So, um, yeah, so let's get into this one The theme on this is Hokkaido And then let me go ahead and if you want to pause on that and read it go ahead There the where the items are gonna be we have the popular snacks and the featured snacks So let's get into it first. Let me show you what it looks like in there Looking good. Hopefully Okay, let's go right here. What is this? I don't know what this is. I just grabbed something. This looks like it's The Pote Koton. Is that what it is? Yes, the Pote Koton bite-sized Hokkaido potato puffs infused with roasted dried Hokkaido onions We can keep eating these forever. They say sweet. I like onion stuff. So puffs This could be a good one Well, it's kind of onion-y. Yeah, ooh kind of looks like like a little potato cake With that's like deeply fried Smells So it's a little potato. There's not a whole lot of smell to it's a little salty smelling. Oh It's like super crunchy. You know, it's like crunchy potato sticks. You can get in a little can I think it's like dirties is who makes them It's like that Just like super crunchy deep-fried Potatoes, like I taste a little bit of the onion as well, but it's mainly just like that fried potato I'm not getting you another one of these because I need to keep the video rolling, but I really want to these are These are pretty awesome. Mmm. That's Oh, that's really good. I like that a lot Mmm That's one of those perfect ones and I'll say every now and then I like to drink some craft beer here and there That's one would be perfect with some beer Okay, next thing. I think this is the jag of butter I'll show it to you and then I'll I'll open it up and figure it out We'll find out together with it Yeah, that's probably what this is. I like these ones that are then like wrapped in aluminum foil Nobody does anything like this in the United States. So it's just kind of weird. Okay, so it looks like a What was I gonna say it looks like it kind of looks like a you know, like a smaller version of when you go to like McDonald's and you get there a little apple pies. It's kind of looks like ooh smells really sweet Vanilla II Cakey smells good. Oh crap. I Forgot to read what's in it Let me read description a hit snack in Hokkaido soft buttery potato cake filled with mild Japanese bean paste from Hokkaido Hmm This is really good the outside cake is very soft and moist well not super moist, but it's very soft The inside bean paste is a very mild bean paste It's not like super Grainy like bean paste can kind of get but it's got like this amazing vanilla flavor It is very buttery like it says in there, but it's just like nice vanilla buttery flavor. Oh This is really good Man, this one's an awesome one too. Okay two for two This is a great box already Mmm. Yeah, that thing is great jaga butter That's That's killer. Okay, we've had I've had something exactly like this in the box before I think we actually had one Not last time but the time before that Yuki no Yato Hokkaido sugar cream glazed crispy senpai Which looks like a layer of snow fell on top of the rice cracker one of our favorites at snacku Yeah, so this is kind of like a salty if I remember it properly It's kind of like a salty senpai that has like this sweet kind of Milk frosting on it is what it's kind of like so I think I remember that that's so it if I remember it properly it tastes like a little sweet a little salty. I Mean it smells like senpai Don't smell any sweetness. I smell a little salty. Mm-hmm Yeah, it tastes exactly like I remember it. It's very well not very light It's relatively salty, which I love with my senpai. It's got a nice crunch to it and then it's got a sweetness that jumps in real quick after the saltiness. That's this kind of like Dairy like milk frosting that's got a little bit of a vanilla to it, but it's just bringing some sugar in us Hmm. Yeah, this one's really good too This box dude This is interesting because this may turn out to be the best snacku box. I've had following the worst snacku box I've had fingers crossed on this one All three items in the game so good Man, I love those So good. Okay. What's next year this thing? I'm just randomly grabbing things. So actually the That that senpai was the first thing from the popular snacks Then the potak koton and the jag of butter those were both featured This one I think this is one of the chocolate wafers Yeah, this should be the chocolate wafer. This is one of the featured items Royce was founded in 1983 in Hokkaido and has since become known as Japan's top chocolate maker They make all their chocolates with premium milk from the top dairy cows in Japan and independent cacao farmers in Latin America We've included their delicately sweet hazelnut cream sandwiched between crispy wafers and coated with chocolate Dude Okay, so I like some hazelnut But I have to really be able to taste it because I've had things before where it's like it's hazelnut But it just like I can barely taste the actual hazelnut in it because like the chocolate overpowers it or whatever's with it So we'll see how it is. I can get it out of this Dang, here we go. Okay, so it just looks like you know chocolate wafer Smells like chocolate Literally, that's all it smells like You can see the layers the hazelnut cream and now I mean So the wafer layers in there Are very very delicate They're not super strong. So your your teeth just cut right through them I can taste the hazelnut in there for sure with that hazelnut cream, but it's not like super strong It's kind of like a medium hazelnut flavor a lot of chocolate to it Obviously because it's just like coated in chocolate Yeah, that's good and like what like I say with jet Japanese snacks that are sweet It's not crazy sweet and sugary like it is in the United States It's sweet, but it's like a low level of sweetness that you can eat a lot more of it It's not gonna give you the diabetes Mmm, you have the chocolate on it There That's really good. That's like like that and that size maybe two of those would be like a great dessert after dinner Because usually when I have like sweet things desserts, I don't need a lot. Let me fix this second. Uh, I don't adjust Wow, okay. What is this? Oh pretz See when they give us these things we usually get one of them. So this is from the popular snacks This is pretz butter corn pretz Hokkaido regional pretz sticks that taste like delicious buttered corn. What's not to like about these? So we've had we had one of these before I think it's supposed to be like pizza flavored or something like that And it really tastes like it was pizza flavored to me, but it tasted really good. I mean So corn buttered corn Let's see If I can get this Me and packages say say there we go. Yeah, have one of these for sure Pop the top on this. Oh Yeah, it smells like corn immediately. It smells like kind of like Yeah, yep corn. It smells like the um, you know when you first open canned corn how it's got like a real sweet Smell to it, but it smells like corn as well. Like that's what this smells like something guys very sweet corn Man, that's Smells a lot like corn and to be honest smelling this and looking at it and that it smells like corn kind of turns me off a little bit Oh, it's like Really hard You hear how crunchy that is? Crazy. It's okay. Um There's a saltiness to it and it tastes a lot like corn like it literally tastes like Corn lots of corn with some saltiness and a little bit of a butteriness coming in at the end So if you like the script or that I just gave you would really like this for me I'm not huge on the taste of corn to be honest, especially in a snack like this. So It's not my thing. It's okay. I don't hate it. I will eat it. It's okay That's what I'm gonna actually have to have some beers to want to eat it more. I think I like the crunch to it though I'm big on textures and like crunchy things. I love crunchy things It's just a thing for me, you know All right, so let's keep moving. There's something in this box that I'm very very excited about because I always tell people I love it Okay, next this thing. I think we've had something like this in the box before White Thunder is from the popular snacks. Japan's version of a bite-sized cookies and cream Cookie bar made with Hokkaido cream. I'm pretty sure we've had a white thunder in here before I don't think it was like real recently I'm pretty sure we've had it So I mean it looks like you would assume Like a cookie bar Smells like white chocolate Sweet but not too sweet and smelling Mmm, teeth go right through that. It's very soft Okay Looks like cookies and cream tastes like cookies and cream, but Okay Okay, so here's the interesting thing Now I'm usually not big on white chocolate but How white chocolate is done in Japan versus United States? I feel like white chocolate in the United States tastes very chemical and it's like Waxy and chemically with a little bit of flavor to it This it tastes it's got that little bit of waxiness, but it tastes like white chocolate plus Like dairy like it's a little milky which I really really like it makes it kind of like creamy It's good actually and then you have like the nice kind of like chocolatey Cookie portion on the inside. That's pretty good. And once again, you know with with the sweet things. It's not crazy sweet I like that. That's pretty good. I'm trying to fix that. Oh, well, sorry I have one of these it's a camera on a laptop, so it's just kind of like adjusts lighting as it sees fit so I'm sorry about that. Okay next thing. Oh man These things are really broken up. I'll get the least broken one now. This is From the feature snacks Kinetoya milk cookies made in Hokkaido's prestigious Sapporo agricultural college these milk cookies are made with 100% natural and organic milk the quality of the Ingredients really show since these cookies have won the International Monday selection award three years in a row Huh, okay. I was unaware of these The Monday selection awards international item. I don't know what that is. I have to look. Oh crap Yeah, this is a it's a mess Okay, so I'll do it over this plate that I have here because lots and lots of crumbs Okay, so I mean it just looks like kind of like a butter cookie. Oh It smells really good. Oh It smells really buttery, but also nice and sweet at the same time mmm Smells awesome Mmm Okay, oh wow, it's like Okay, so think about when someone gives you like a It's almost got a little cheese quality to it, but it's really low level But if someone gives you like a really nice butter cookie for the holidays But this is probably the best one you've ever tasted to be honest It's kind of silky smooth once you start chewing it Because because the grain of it is very very fine. So it breaks down real easily. It's very silky in the mouth It has kind of like a dairy quality to it. It's a little cheesy, but it's not Offensive it's just kind of like this little touch at the end buttery for sure and a little bit of like a vanilla and then like a nice medium sweetness to it That's really good. I can see why it's an award-winning cookie. It's a simple cookie, but it tastes awesome That's executed extremely. Well, I really really like that So the only thing that's really let me down in this is these corn pretzels and it's not bad Wow, this box is awesome. This box is freaking awesome. What is this? Okay? This is my next thing What is this? Yuzu pepper Cacchino Tane This is from the population X portion Cacchino Tane means persimmon seeds These mini rice crackers are in the shape of persimmon seeds and then topped with dried Yuzu citrus pepper seasoning Okay, so I've had Yuzu. I've had persimmon before in a beer It's been a long time. It's it's another citrus thing kind of like Yuzu Yuzu I've had also in a beer and in some some of these snacks. We've had some Yuzu stuff from Snacku before now they Taste kind of like a mix between like a Meyer lemon and a lime Or no a lot Meyer lemon like an orange It smells like it smells like green peppers to be honest Yeah, oh it smells like green peppers, which is a little off-putting. It's very very strong This is these little things It didn't smell good. It smells like green peppers and cat food. Oh It tastes good though gotta be honest They taste a little green peppery. I do get that that quick hit of the Yuzu citrus Which is pretty good. It's very very fast though and it goes to that kind of You know I think goes that kind of like vegetal Pepper and that tastes like black pepper towards the end And but it also in there like in the middle has a quick hint of like a soy sauce And a very crunchy I Like the crunch factor Yeah, these are interesting I Can eat these I won't say I necessarily like them They're okay It's just a weird mixture of flavors for me personally. I just Yeah, well, and you can see they got to have the peppers on there You taste these a lot you smell and taste those a lot And I feel like if that was much lower and maybe the Yuzu was higher in perception. I would like these a lot more But they're interesting. I like trying stuff like this. Okay got two more items in here So second the last thing this must be the raisin butter sandwich It's got to be this is from the featured snacks Raisin butter sandwich Rakatai was founded in 1933 and is one of Hokkaido's pre-eminent snack maker and is known for making luxurious snacks made with Only the finest locally produced ingredients. This snack is one of their originals original favorites butter shortbread cookies sandwiching a fluffy cream filling with rum soaked raisins Okay, that sounds good I like the design here. That's cool design. Okay, let's Into this if I can find the best way in I hope this one's not all broken up Because you know, oh, yeah, it's pretty Yeah, it could be worse, but it's still pretty messed up Okay, so I have to do my best to show you without getting stuff all over the place You see it's like filled with a cream It's totally mashed up. I'm gonna have to bite it out. Well Hmm, I'm still dropping stuff all over myself Dang it and clean out It's very it's pretty soft to be honest like My teeth cut right through the wafer portion or the cookie portions. The cream is a lot thicker than I thought It's very creamy. It's very buttery and then you get a lot of raisin But it's not like a super dark raisin flavor. It's kind of light Which actually that's pretty good. Um, I wasn't sure I wasn't really gonna like that. I'm not big on raisin But the rum soap portion of it. I think brings The harshness of like a raisin flavor down a little bit. I can taste a little bit that rum It's nice kind gives it almost like a little spice character to it and it's creamy. That's like nice and creamy It's got a little bit of a vanilla to go with it buttery vanilla That's really good actually Kind of surprised with that because that seems like something I wouldn't like Excuse me Water down the wrong pipe. Sorry about that That's where I'm not dying No one called 911. We're all right Okay, and then the last thing this is the thing I was saying I was really excited about Honestly, I should have been excited about this entire come on. Let's not be so harsh now. Uh, I was um I should have been excited about the whole box to be honest because it would have been pretty damn good But here we go. Uh high chew. I love high chew. Um, love high chew. This is an orange high chew This extremely popular soft chewy candy was first released in 1975 This specific flavor is made with Japanese winter oranges Don't know what that means, but Maybe I'll find out. I don't know. It's just Here's the thing in the United States. Like I've always liked Um, like chewy things like laffy tacky laffy taffy starburst things like that But I just in my older age. I don't like how sugary and sweet they are now high chew for me is like that But it's way less sweet and sugary. And so that's why I like Plus usually they do a much better job with their actual flavors Because a lot of like starbursts laffy taffy. The flavors are good, but they taste artificial. These usually taste pretty natural the smells like orange cream smells good Oh Oh, yeah I love how much like spring it has to it too It's not Like it's chewy, but it also like gives a little bit of spring back When you're biting down on it sorry I'm sure the sound of me chewing this is pretty annoying Mm that orange flavor is outstanding and not and it's a little creamy too But the oranges are so bright I don't know about What Japanese winter oranges, but they taste great I'll tell you that Okay So that's the end of the box That is the best box I've gotten from snaku Definitely Sorry High chew takes a while Mm. Okay, so I mean instead of saying one of my favorite things like what did I not really like The butter corn pretzels and the yuzu pepper caquino tonne Those are the two things I was most like But what do I like the most out of this? Um Probably the um Kinetoya milk cookies and the jaga butter those top two right there these two I think those are my favorite, but these um Put the coat on those potato things Those are probably right behind them because those things are nuts good And the high chew of course the high chew high chew is amazing Anyway, um, man, I hope uh the January box is as good as this. Let's keep it going But like I always say, where's the senpai? I want a senpai only box that would make me extremely happy if we can get a tea centric one We can get a senpai one.
