 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. This is for the October snackoo box Another one of these situations where unfortunately, I didn't get to it as soon as I got it I've had it for a few weeks honestly Because October has been nuts for me if people don't know if you only watch these videos for me I actually do a bunch of movie reviews focusing on horror movie reviews So October's been nuts for me doing all these so sorry. This is later than usual, but life happens So here it is and actually I'm doing it on Halloween evening Before I'm gonna be giving out candy and part of the reason I'm doing this right now is so I have these snacks Which aren't as bad as straight-up candy for you So I will eat the rest of these instead of eating the candy. I should be giving to the kids so just saying so the Focus for this one. I believe is just kind of straight up fall Cool picture as usual and I'll let you read if you want to read that just pause on it I'm not gonna read the whole thing. So then we have our featured snacks Which are gonna be fall based and then we have our popular snacks, which could be kind of anything There's one thing in particular in here that has been in here before I think is in last year's fall one as well That I'm pretty excited about my I know my wife's excited about as well because she's she's a fan of it She when she had it last time got my trusty water Sorry when I pick it up and put it down it'll Make the camera jiggle, but All right, so I'll save that one. Okay, let's do this one first This looks like it's okay. This is one of the featured snacks This is curry sent curry senpai K u r I a tiny snack shop near mount Fuji has been making this senpai rice cracker for Hundreds of years. It's made by using a clay oven to bake a mixture of egg Sweet white bean paste local chestnuts and water from the crystal clear Fuji River I'm not sure the water is gonna have much of a flavor effect on this, but you know So it's like to oh, I didn't show you like the packaging. There's packaging It's like They're like really really burnt-looking. I mean not like not necessarily like burnt, but they're just like super dark almost burnt They smell They smell kind of fishy Oddly enough like it looks like it should be like a cookie, but it smells kind of fishy and When I'm feeling it it's a little sticky on the outside. That's really hard. I like really Really pretty hard There is a little fishy flavor to it, but it's also very sweet. It's pretty sugary. I mean It's kind of like a sweet cracker. That's like super dense Mmm It's a little potato-y tasting too like this is very starchy Kind of has that kind of grainy potato Good one more here the chestnut The red bean paste coming together. That's kind of what's giving it that potato-iness. I don't really like it to be honest I'm not a big fan of that one Chestnut a lot of the times just does not click For me, I'm definitely need runs or just my freaking mouth out. I don't like that one not a fan Okay, moving on. Let's do that was from the featured side. Let's do something from the popular snack side Monja yaki senpai. I don't know the senpai. I just randomly randomly grab it rice crackers that take taste like Monja yaki a popular summer festival food that is made using Japanese hot plates. I don't know Okay Don't really know what to expect because I don't know Monja yaki what that is So okay, I mean it looks like a senpai Oh, oh wow. It's got a real kick to the nose. It smells like a little bit sweet a little bit spicy See, it's like like kind of looks like, you know cayenne pepper or something Mmm. It's a little soy So it's a little tart. It's a little spicy a little sweet Little barbecue. It smells a little like barbecue sauce-y. It actually smells really good so I kind of like barbecue saucy smell Comes off a little bit more ketchup-y, which I know ketchup is used a lot at times to make barbecue sauce But it's more on the ketchup-y side than anything else really being added to it It's not bad. It's just not as good as the smell to be honest nice crunch to it There's a little bit of a smokiness to it though I like Relatively salty totally fine with that. I don't love it. I Would like it more if it Well that second bite was better because I had more of the seasoning on it I Would like it more if there was even more seasoning to it and if it tasted exactly like a smell Not bad though. I don't dislike it. I liked it. I just wanted to like it even more based on the smell Okay, next these look weird. Well pick just one of them because there's two different types This is from the popular side to vegetable. Yes, I borrow two types of soft wheat cracker balls spinach and pumpkin They're filled with tons of healthy beta-carotene and calcium. Okay, so I have one of each I have spinach and I have pumpkin. I'm not gonna eat the spinach because I'm assuming the spinach is Probably just gonna give it like a vegetable flavor. I'm more interested to see what the pumpkin will do to this So let's do that one plus If it's good, I think my wife would be interested in it Sometimes these things are hard to okay Does it say sometimes they're hard to open but I suppose to try and open in the right spot See, it's just like a little Kind of like a oyster cracker. I don't smell anything. I don't smell anything. It's all grainy I mean, I can taste the pumpkin. That's a little bit sweet after that, too It's like really fine grain When you chew it up and it gets mixed with your saliva So it becomes kind of like If you just put like granulated sugar in your mouth Just like the really fine sugar We just put that in your mouth like it's that type of texture. I don't like that texture at all Yeah, I don't like this cuz I don't like that texture the pumpkin flavor is okay It's very very low. It's just kind of like a little bit of pumpkin a little bit sweet Maybe the spinach is better. I don't know. I don't sound good though. It doesn't sound good. Sorry Mm-hmm. Okay, definitely got a rinse after that not doing so well right now Another random one. Let's see what we got here This would be I feel like they do this all the time Tenohira iridori an assortment of autumn exclusive mini rice crackers There are eight types of crackers in each pouch soy glaze nori seaweed sea salt Lava seaweed dried baby shrimp dried kelp roasted soybean maple sugar and red maple sesame Let us know which one's your favorite. I don't really interact with you. So Yeah, so they feel like they do this It's good enough I feel like they do this in like every single box pretty much they have one of these send by assortment like things It's like a little tray Whoop dropped one I'll pick it up. Oh, that's I got a ginkgo biloba Or that's the kelp. I don't know but you can see there's like a bunch of different If you can see that. All right, this one smells a little sweet. Oh Yeah, I like that that one's good that one's good. It's salty It's just you have a lot of the like the rice flavor of the rice cracker, and then it's kind of salty Pretty straight-up flavor, but I like that. This is probably the shrimp one because there's a little Reddish flex. It's what's kind of sweet. It smells sugary. Yep Well shrimp to it It's not super heavy though Like some of these senbais that are like shrimp flavor are like really fishy. This is not it's very very light on the fishiness You can taste the shrimp to it and it's salty and it's crunchy. You can taste the rice. It's good Not a good one Well, I'm gonna save that one for last. I love those typically. I've had this one a few times before and I What's this supposed to be? Oh, this is soybean. There's no you can see there's like actual soybeans in there Actually, let me turn this around for you. It's a better example. So you can see the soybean in there So this one smells about the same Little salty little sweet. Yeah but the soybean Have like a little bit of like a toasted flavor to it It brings it a cracker. So it's kind of like the other crackers like the the the first one that was kind of You know just like salty and rice, but it has added to it that kind of roasty soy It's good Don't like nori I'm not a seaweed person Although I'm not getting a lot of smell off the seaweed. Okay So that seaweed in particular like sometimes when I have seaweed, it's like really really oceanic and like really fishy That one is very low level Probably The lowest level I've ever had That's crazy. It's actually pretty solid. What's this one? This one? Oh, this is probably dried kelp You can see all the pieces in there probably dried kelp Okay, that one is also kind of fishy Oceany, but it's pretty low low level More tastes like veggie like you You know like an If you have like spinach like it tastes kind of irony, you know, I mean it's a little bit like that Or like a kale Which you know I don't want that. It's not offensive to me though. It's fine. What would this one be? Oh, this might be just another type of seaweed one Or this is the kelp and the last one I had was another seaweed That one tastes like sugared corn You know like canned corn how that tastes like sweet canned corn. It's like cream corn basically Oh, I got No, thank you. No, thanks No I'm gonna try this one. I think this is the This is probably the maple sugar or maple sesame. This is probably maple sesame. Oh, uh, because it's kind of like maple leaf Oh, I smell the maple coming off of it. Oh um It's got a really nice um maple sugary zing up front and it kind of like Tapers off, but No, it hits you up front It makes it more of like a mix between like a senpai and like a cookie That's good And then this one which is probably I don't know Some might also be Smells sweet and salty and soy Now that one's also maple Oh, yeah, because there were two maple ones. There was a maple sugar and the red maple sesame So the red maple sesame I had and then this one is the maple sugar You do taste the maple sweetness That's good I actually it has a really nice um saltiness to it to kind of balance the maple sweetness out That one I think that was my favorite actually That was good. I didn't really expect I was going to go through all those, but I did Okay, we rebounded a little bit after on a really disappointing start Okay next This might be disappointing. I don't know Depends Okay, so this is another one from the featured snack side. This is red chestnut pomu An exclusive snack from a local snack maker in matsuyama prefecture The snack maker has been making these bite-sized treats since 1948 Using locally sourced red chestnut paste and wrapping them in a wafer shell that is then gently baked for 12 hours These are a perfect afternoon snack I'm not big on the chestnut. I have a feeling I'm not really going to dig this for that reason, so You never know though. You you really you just never know Crap Am I able to get this open? Wait, is there a sometimes there's ah That's the weak spot. They usually have like one little intentionally weak spot where you can kind of peel it back This is already looking like I don't Want it So if you had things kind of like this before I'm gonna need to open over here Okay, a little silica packet Sorry guys, it's taking a while. There we go. Got it Yeah, I've had a few things like this before it's just kind of like it's like real doughy on the outside Looks really yellow A little greenish in that light. Okay It just smells Like starchy and a little sweet. I mean consistency It looks like Chicken thigh, but the consistency is like a potato. It's like real grainy I mean, it's kind of just starchy and and a bit sweet I don't dislike it to be honest But I don't particularly like it either There's like a little bit of a kind of vanilla hint to it That's actually growing on me a little bit That's not bad I was expecting to really not like that. That's actually okay I'm all right with that Especially based on my expectation of it All right. Oh man, let's save that for now. Let's go with this. What is this? This is from the What is this? What is this This isn't even on the list. Oh, no, it is it's just the packaging's not shown This is chocolate flakes and it looks like cereal to be honest It's like cocoa pebbles is what it is basically I'm pretty sure Uh chocolate covered corn flakes, which are super popular among Japanese of all ages I don't know kind of weird Okay. Yeah, I mean it looks like a like a cornflake. That's chocolatey It smells like chocolate. It smells like cocoa pebbles a little bit soft Like it's actually coated in chocolate Yeah It's actually pretty solid I feel like it's not super sweet though, too Like you get the flavor of chocolate, but it's not crazy sugary and sweet like in the u.s I don't I like that. That's a good way to get like The taste of chocolate without getting feeling like you're getting a sugar buzz immediately from all the sugaryness sweetness to it So yeah, that's kind of cool I dig it. It's not bad. All right, moving on. Let's do Okay Some crazier things at the end. This is also from the popular snack side Pumpkin sable a light pumpkin infused wheat cookie That's shaped like a waffle Because why not We'll do that Oh, you know, it smells really cookie-y. It smells Pretty sweet toasty I don't know if I Oh, I smell the wheat actually. I definitely smell that wheat aspect. I really smell the pumpkin though It's got a nice bit of a crunch to it Oh See, I definitely taste the wheat I guess I'm getting like a slight bit of the pumpkin coming through but it's not very pumpkin-y I have to see what my wife thinks about this I like the consistency of it. It's like a nice dense but flaky cookie And there is like a nice kind of like toasted flavor on there I like that. That's good. That's one of the better items here Down with it now Oh, I think I've had one of these before Okay, this next thing. Um Fugitsudo chestnut. We've had something like this in the box before Kobe Fugitsudo is one of the most famous premium jack Japanese snack makers Has been making Japanese snacks for over 120 years in the cosmopolitan city of Kobe The seasonal bushies or bushes Are made with a pillowy chestnut infused puff pastry sandwiching Honey chestnut cream filling The snack maker describes these bushi buns as a masterpiece of sweets flavor born in Kobe. We couldn't agree more Yeah, so I think I've had this I was gonna say I think I've had it two different times, but I think the only one I can like clearly remembers one and that was it was like a strawberry version of this back in february for their valentine's day box It was yeah, it was like strawberry filling with like apple added to it and it was pretty good Yeah, it's kind of like a moon pie a bit. It's like the outside. It's like really soft and you see that cream on the inside It smells sweet Smells like a liquor It's like some sort of liquor I don't know why It's sweet, but not too sweet. It totally tastes like there's booze in there Yeah, it's like some sort of like fruit liqueur Don't get me wrong. It actually tastes good I mean there is like a little bit of an apple-y flavor to it too I like it. I mean it's sweet. It's not too sweet. Like I said, I'm sorry that that filling looks like crazy white So I go overexposed Yeah, it's good. I like how soft it is your teeth just go right through it. No problem Kind of starts falling apart in your mouth in a good way Yeah, that's pretty solid and once again one of those things we're like in japan It's sweet, but it's not like sickly sweet like it's you know Co or uh, it's equivalents in the united states would be it would just be like nasty sickly sweet. Yeah, okay So there's two more items one's a hard candy So, you know, we always do the hard candies last So this item is the item I was excited about because we had this last time And it was really good. This is pumpkin rusk For people who don't know, I mean you can kind of see it like rusk is basically like baguette That's like baked twice and it usually has like sugar on it and so like really crispy and buttery Yeah, located deep within the mountains of yamagata the sebel Wheat workshop has continued to make some of the highest quality snacks in japan for over 20 years The seasonal pumpkin rusks twice baked baguette Says are glazed with pumpkin infused butter topped with pumpkin seeds and baked in a clay oven Yeah, like I said, I I'm pretty sure we had this exact same snack at the same time last year and it was phenomenal So i'm excited to get in this sorry open this over here Rolling these dice Oh gosh It smells so buttery. I smell the pumpkin actually It's not super strong. I smell so buttery Little sweet sugary. Oh god. It looks so good And bread like you can smell the toast of bread Mm-hmm kind of like the sugar on it because there are like granules of sugar if you can see Yeah, it's kind of like light cinnamon sugar Mm-hmm. It's really good like it's super crunchy because it's twice baked But then as soon as you bite into it and your saliva starts mixing with it, it just becomes like really soft Which is really weird, but really great It's so buttery I think that's why it starts becoming so soft so quick because it Tastes like it's just like soaked in butter that like they had the bread sitting there just like absorbing Like melted butter and it's it's pretty awesome I look forward to eating more of that later and I have an additional one That is awesome As I expected that it hands down the best thing in this box. That is amazing. I love that. I want more rusk I want more types of rusk Oh if snaku did an entire box of just different types of rusk That's like with me like if they did one it was like all send by awesome They do it did one all rusk that also would be awesome Sweet, okay, so let's move on to the last one Uh bubble tea candy All right, let's see if this is any good So this little hard candies that's on the um popular snack side of things Taiwanese bubble tea is a global sensation and it's especially popular in japan these candies just like black Tate I'll some words out these candies. I assume taste like black bubble milk tea I don't think I've had the black bubble milk tea I've had some of the tea some of the bubble teas before and my niece actually is a huge bubble tea fan She loves it Except when she gets a flavor she's not a big fan of All right, so it kind of looks like a werther's original like a like one of those types of hard caramel candies or toffee Oh, definitely smells like tea and milk That's interesting It's like milk black tea Like a little caramel You yeah, the tea flavor is very strong. Mm-hmm. Yeah Okay, I'm not gonna sit here and eat the whole thing right now, but Um, it is what it is advertising So if you like the sound of that of like milk black tea That's what it tastes like milk and black tea basically I like it. I actually like it. I was expecting that I wouldn't really dig that but Kind of like that. It's different. It's good Okay, cool. So that's actually it. Um, yeah, like I said, uh, this one's pretty good. I quite enjoyed that one the, uh pumpkin sable and obviously that pumpkin rusk was amazing, but oh and the Fugitsudo chestnut, which was this one Um, those are my favorites everything else. I was like, oh and the the little assorted senbais was pretty cool What's pretty good as usual, but those are my favorites. Um, once again, awesome snaku I don't you know, they don't pay me or anything. I'm not affiliated. I don't get anything for doing this I just do it for fun. So hopefully people get entertainment out of this Uh, we'll have to see what comes next month and uh, hopefully it's something really cool. Oh crap No, I think I know what it is. I think it's tea actually I think it's like matcha and like teas and stuff like that. So I'm not very excited about the november one Boo Anyway, I might be surprised though. We'll see anyway.
