 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. So this is for the May Snaku box I do apologize big time for this one being as late as it is. I wanted to get this done much sooner I mean maybe like as close as to two weeks ago to be honest because I've had this box for a little bit But I got sick I got very sick and then I ran out of time after I Recovered enough from being sick my wife ended up getting sick on top of that and you know It takes about a half an hour to do these unboxings So I really apologize for that all my other ones should be much more timely because hopefully I don't get sick again I always do look forward to these though and May was my birthday month So very excited to see if this ends up being my favorite box and be my birthday box anyway We'll find out Gonna pull this out Looks like in there You can see everything Look at it all look at it all and all its glory All right, let's see what we got So the theme I believe was samurai So I don't really know how that ties in how they're gonna tie everything into like Samurai I don't know if it's like Samurai cuisine or to Or a particular region that is more tied to Samurai culture or not, but They have cool artwork on these always. There's a Samurai dude. All right, so Do I'm not gonna read all the stuff at the top, but if you guys want to pause and read that Go ahead Then you can kind of get the idea of why they chose Samurai and all that but I will read the stuff for the snacks There's Looks like six of the snacks are from like the core Samurai portion And then there's a bunch of like additional ones down here. So let's go through and see what we got I just picked up the first one. I think it does. This is the Kamome egg, I believe I think Yeah, Kamome egg The Tohoku region has a long coastal region which borders the Pacific Ocean as such There are many small fishing villages that dot the coast and lots of seagulls these snacks were made to look like seagull eggs But don't worry. It's just a soft white bean caked Cake it says caked but white bean cake dipped in white chocolate Okay Let's find out if you've seen enough of these well, let me show you the packaging first There you go If you've seen enough of my reviews of Snaku, you probably know by now that I'm not big on white chocolate typically but Historically with this box as they've done white chocolate in Japan Tastes better in my opinion I don't know why that is. Okay. So here we go. So yes, it looks like an egg like a big Big seagull egg Check that out. It smells like white chocolate a little bit buttery white chocolatey. It smells a little waxy Yeah, you get that like white bean paste flavor in the middle like that texture of being like a little bit Mealy not me like I want to say like tabbit grainy ish It's good it kind of tastes like vanilla custard like though I'm gonna save this half for the wife. I like that That's really good The combination between the white chocolate aspect and that vanilla flavor in there Tastes so good. It's creamy. It's cakey It's just like vanilla custard it tastes so good. That's really awesome. I really really really like that one I really do. Oh my gosh, oh It's um So with a lot of these snacks, they're sweet like because they're sugary They're sweet, but they're usually like not really sweet. That's one. That's on the sweeter side of what I get out of this box And I'm honestly okay with that because it tastes really good. That's really nice That's really nice. Okay. Let me see what this Put that aside What is this? Okay, I think I know I think this is a Zunda crunch. Is that what this is I? think So I don't have I don't know that's that What is this one? I'm gonna have to open it and then I can tell you Okay, so that's what this is I'm sorry. It's kind of hard to see because I have reflective it is You have to get into this and then sorry then I have to figure out what it is. Okay. Yeah, it's the Zunda crunch the On this paper the Rapper looks very different. So All right, so this is light crunchy rice puff sticks dipped in Zunda chocolate These snacks are exclusive to the Sendai area They don't look appetizing to be honest, it's like a kind of green like cereal bar You know how people would take like You know, they do like a rice crispy treat type thing, but they do it with different types of cereal It kind of looks like someone shows a different cereal that had some green to it and put like white chocolate in it What is that smell? It smells relatively sweet It's not I smell some sort of grain and then There's a particular smell like I do smell some sort of chocolate But there's some sort of other like spice character in there. It smells interesting I don't know. I'll try it. So What's binding it all together Tastes kind of like a White chocolate that has a little bit of a milk chocolate mixed in It's kind of good for it. Look looking like it's like a crunchy cereal bar It's very soft like it kind of like it's got a little bit of a crunch to it But it's like a soft crunch. So you're not gonna like Hurt your teeth or anything. Yeah, it definitely tastes like it's it's like a white chocolate But with a little bit of milk chocolate mixed in there I don't know why it's green to be honest because there's no sort of like vegetal flavor It's not like matcha or anything like that but It's pretty good. It's it's coming off kind of buttery too With the aftertaste a little bit buttery and I like that. It's kind of nice Sorry, when I picked that up and put it down Kind of like moves the camera a little bit. So I apologize My bad. Okay. Moving on. Here is something that looks interesting. I mean it all looks interesting, but oh I think I ooh is this the um Zunda Monju? Okay, I believe so it's got to be the Zunda Monju. Oh, I hope this isn't on the outside What I think it is. Okay, so Zunda Monju I'll show you. So it kind of looks like a Little baby donut without a hole in it. It's kind of what it looks like Sendai is famous for food that is made with Zunda, which is crushed at a mommy paste Oh Because Masamune used to eat Zunda before going to war these soft thin-skinned Rice cake filled with a slightly sweet Zunda filling Perfect with a cup of green tea. I Can see some green coming through in the bottom See It's like a green Yeah It does smell kind of vegetal Yeah, like tea kind of The inside is very potato-y In texture It's this weird kind of like a lime green I don't know why It does have a little bit of a vegetal note to it Slightly sweet But it's very potato-y To be honest, it's like so potato-y. It's kind of like You know potatoes, it's just so starch-y And it kind of because it's so heavy It has a tendency to like crush a lot of you know more Nuanced flavors that would go with it and kind of does that so it's just like a little bit sweet a little bit vegetal and Potato texture starchy. I'm not big on it It's not bad. That's not great. That color's funky though Look, I like that color It's kind of cool That they should have put that in the one for uh saint patrick's day I'm sure they don't actually celebrate saint patrick's day really in japan, but you know, that's just me being dumb All right, let's try something different. Oh, no, I want to save that one for a little bit. Let's save that one Let's do this one This should be interesting bourbon fowl cookie Fowl fowl cookie. So I don't know if there's chicken in it or turkey or something No, probably not a tasty butter cookie filled with smooth almond cream That sounds awesome. Wait, is there an extra one in here? I'm sure there is. Yeah, my wife She likes like almond stuff and cookies. So If this tastes the way it sounds like it should taste I think that she could really like this That looks cool. It looks nice. It's got like a nice little slight brown crisp to it Oh, you can smell that almond on the outside of it. Wow Very almond driven It smells buttery and almondy Oh, that smells awesome. Oh my god Oh, man it's like Okay, so the actual cookie you can see it like the almond cream on the inside right there right here The actual cookie is very soft But it's um It's like flaky like you just cut right through it with your teeth And it is buttery and it just kind of like melts as you're chewing And that almond cream in the middle is very rich And once again, it's just like smooth. It's buttery and it's got a lot of like great almond flavor Yeah, my wife is gonna like this one Oh my gosh, the almond cream is amazing. It's like it's look at this at almond cream So I like almond butter, but that's better than almond butter. It's kind of like Think about like a homemade not chemical tasting um Like a peanut butter cup, but instead of it being peanut butter, it's almond butter That's kind of like what this is like. It's That's phenomenal. I like almond butter But this is like a kicked up more sugary version. This is just smooth and creamy and buttery and tasty and That thing's amazing That is an amazing snack right there um My wife is gonna love that one Wow Yeah, that's killer All right, let's see what this one is. Okay Oh, okay, so this thing I think is really Uh delicate so I need to Figure out if I have one that's not broken Because a lot of the stuff just gets broken real easily. I'm not sure I do have any that's broken So I'll just go with the one that seems least broken. This is a masamune cookie Cut cookies in the in the same Same It's it's not perfectly written that I did Incorrect words in here and stuff Cute cookies in the shape of a triangle rice ball Onigiri, but also made to look like Date masum with the iconic gold crescent moon helmet Famous samurai Oh, yeah, this one's messed up. It's not too bad though Let's see if I can get it out Without Making it break anymore. Okay So there's a piece that came off There you go See it's supposed to be the dude's face with this little like golden crescent thing on there Smells so kind of It's weird. It kind of smells like my mother's oatmeal raisin cookies Is what it smells like It does smell like oatmeal with a little bit of sugar That's interesting That's right. It's very light. It's very buttery sugary It tastes like a nice light crisp sugar cookie Or no, I mean like a butter cookie That's good This is a type of cookie that A lot of people would Would want to have with like coffee or tea or something like that like it's nice and sweet It's not crazy sweet, but it's nice and sweet. It's light. It's buttery It's pretty good It's nothing like phenomenal I understand why they put it in there because it has it has the little face on it So it's kind of tied into the samurai thing, but It's not all that different from stuff you can get in the states But you know, I'm down to try stuff. All good All right, let's do this one next which is zunda sandwich Sandwich or the sandvich As I said in japan zunda sweet sand pie is what it says There you go Uh a tasty regional snack from matsushima Which is located 30 minutes north of sendai The area is famous for its bay which is dotted with small pine clad islets And has been named one of japan's most scenic areas It's also home to Ziganji one of japan's oldest buddhist temples, which was founded in 828 that is very old Find out what this is on the sandwich is really like And much like the zunda crunch There's a green coloration going on Well, you can't really see it initially so I can like crap all over me So it kind of looks like a wafer cookie with lots of salt or lots of sugar on top It smells like granola It definitely I eat a lot of granola like for breakfast. I usually granola. It smells like granola Hmm Oh Oh Oh That's really good I'm trying to think what it's like So it's kind of like it's like a really light buttery flaky pastry kind of like I'm trying to think of something similar I don't know. It's just a really awesome flaky crunchy pastry. It's really good I do And the sugar on top is not too much That's really good Okay, so basically it tastes like a really awesome homemade pie crust to be honest With some of that chocolate on the inside. That's kind of like the mix of like white chocolate with a little bit of milk chocolate mixed into it The pie crust aspect of this is just It's like nice and crispy and flaky and That's awesome. That's really good I love that one. Oh That's so good Yeah, that's Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it All right, we're getting down there. We're getting down there So next i'm gonna go for Yaki soy Lightly salted grilled soybeans A light healthy snack for when the afternoon cravings kick in Okay There we go. Sometimes these things are hard to get over. Yeah, it's just like a Like a little toasted soybean looking thing It smells Smells like a soybean a little salty vegetable It's very good There's some other flavor in there. There's like a slight soy sauce I think I like the salt level on it. There's a decent amount of salt in there Very crunchy as you can probably hear I really like that crunch. This is like a better for you Potato chip kind of this is good Yeah, it's just like a nice easy like light salty snack There's not like a crazy amount of flavor to it. It's mainly like crunchy and salty And there's a little bit of a soy soybean flavor And it reminds you of potato chips to be honest I like it. I got 100% eat these things and I will That's a real good nice This has been a really good box By and large there are a few things I'm like, oh, okay, but for the most part good good box All right. Oh this one. Okay. This I don't know about this one We'll do Okay, I always do the hard candies last there's a hard candy. So we'll do that last but Let's do this one right now buttered potato mochi So this sounds really weird and this is one that I picked up earlier and was like I'm gonna save that for a little bit later I'm gonna try this one This buttered potato mochi bite-sized mochi snack needed with buttered baked potato This sounds really weird Oh, they're like individually packaged within here. Okay, cool. And they kind of just look like, um Like a little jellies. Well, I should just take it out of this little package because You don't want to see that you don't need to see that It's nothing special I mean, it's just look yeah, it just looks like a sugared jelly See, let me put my hand behind and see a little bit better. Yeah, see it's like a sugared jelly I smell butter. I also smell potato, which is very weird All right It's a jelly So weird It tastes like a potato This is very weird Yeah, it's like a buttery It's it's like a buttery potato gel That's so weird like texturally this flavor makes no sense with it like It makes no sense. It tastes like a buttered baked potato But it's a little jelly With a little bit of sugar on it, which doesn't add that much sweetness. So it's fine It's so weird It doesn't taste bad. It actually tastes good for the flavors in there. Like it tastes like a nice buttered baked potato It's just my brain can't Can't like put these things together like the jelly with those flavors. It just doesn't It doesn't compute properly Actually, it's not just sugar on there. It's a little bit of salt too. It's like salt and sugar, which is good um Okay, I think I that one's really weird but interesting but If you're a fan of being adventurous And tasting odd stuff like that, it's not gross. It's not gross Check check that out because it's it's it's an experience. It's definitely an experience Okay, so let me go with I don't know if these are both the same. Oh, I don't think these are the same flavors So one's one and one's the other one And they're sendai mini rolls See sendai oh which I guess I should put them this way See there you go It's like samurai on there sendai mini rolls A regional delicacy which has been made in sendai for over 100 years Soft bumkuchen cakes filled with either red bean paste or white mochi cream Oh, dude, I want the white mochi cream one Oh, I don't know which one's gonna be which I'm not gonna open them both I think this might be the white mochi cream one I have 50 50 chance. Let's try I'm gonna try for it Get what we get but oh, I think it's the white mochi cream one sweet Yeah, it just looks like a cake roll actually have had something Well a few things similar to this in the snacku before it's one of those ones where if you can see there's like multiple layers here You see you can see the multiple layers of like very thin cake Which other ones I've had kind of like this before it have been really good It smells Like vanilla Yeah, it smells like a vanilla cream and sugary. That's pretty much it Yeah Yeah, it's good That mochi cream is very nice. It's a little bit marshmallow-y. It's like a really nice Kind of like vanilla-y marshmallow fluff in this nice like multi layered cake There let's there you go shade that a little bit. It's really good I like that that's tasty I think my wife will dig it too. That's good, man This has been a really good box, man, and this is what I don't understand like These snacks that they had these little packaged snacks that we've been getting from japan They're always like when they're cakey like that. They're always still soft They're always nice and light and fluffy and soft and when american companies do it They're not like they get hard like real quick. So I don't know what the difference is here I guess it's ingredients based but I don't know. Also, they never taste chemically They taste natural like they taste like your mother or someone's mother made these things They never taste like these crappy chemical things that get made in the united states all the time Which drive me nuts. I just don't eat them. So All right, so that brings us to our last thing and it is summer melon candy Have we had anything melon flavored in here? I think like maybe like one thing or something Uh refreshing melon candy, which is popular with japanese children during the summer Okay, it looks like melon candy. It's green Obviously not cantaloupe more like a honeydew if it's green Let's get this open. That's very sticky It looks like it kind of like partially melted in here and then like reformed So that's why it's sticky gross Would I be able to pick that smell out as melon? I'm not sure It smells a little floral actually sugary floral And then I'd probably just be like some sort of fruit Oh, oh very much tastes like melon No, I'm not gonna suck on that thing the whole time because then I can't really talk but um That's good. It's it's very nice. It definitely tastes like a honeydew melon Which is really nice refreshing light flavor and um, yeah, it's really good. That's a very nice candy and once again With all the snacks in here, it's it's sugary, but it's not like over-the-top crazy sugary like they usually are in the us So I appreciate that Um, that's very melon refreshing honeydew melon Driven and I like that. That's very nice. That's something I could suck on while I'm like driving somewhere As like just a little bit of flavor in my mouth. So Okay, quite good.
