 Thank you for checking out this unboxing. This is the Snaku for May and as people know I'm very much into Japanese snacks Japanese culture and I like snacks like a lot of people. So Here we are one of my favorite things done box because as we know the other things I do are like on collectibles boxes Things like that. Anyway, so the May box. I do want you to know I can't show you the bottom But if you can see how it's a little bit wavy here It's kind of like bone out on the bottom. So basically it's because it got severely wet the US Postal Service I've been having problems with them with a lot of my boxes Actually a lot. Yeah, a lot of the boxes I get subscription box wise. I've had a decent amount of issues with but also just boxes I'll just order for other things So this one was a situation where they left this and another box that had a board game in it Just sitting out in the rain. It was actively raining all day when they delivered it. It was raining They said it like they they can easily set it like FedEx and UPS do under the overhang in the front of my house Like right at the door Won't get wet, but for some reason they just decided to set it as far out on the top step as possible So it got drenched. So hopefully everything in here is okay should be because they're usually individually packaged things. So But still USPS terrible. Anyway, let's get into this The opening what it looks like here very nice. I always have nice wrapping in here and I'll go ahead and show you the Card always nice looking card Yes, it's like a boat on there. It's a little bit better And then the items you want to Look at it right there, but I'll read you the stuff. So they're going to be focusing on a specific dessert shop snack shop whatever I'll read you the thing today. We're highlighting an amazing boutique snack company in the southern island of Kyushu called Chidoriya the store was established in 1630 Long time ago near the port city of Nagasaki Which was the only place in Japan where Western goods were available Historically Japan didn't have sugar and imported stock was only available in Nagasaki Chidori Chidoriya, sorry Chidoriya. I believe that's how it's pronounced Was one of the first snack stores in Japan to utilize sugar in its snacks That's interesting very historically important then to this day They continue to stick true to their roots and handmade all their snacks Using only traditional methods and high quality ingredients This snack maker has such an abundant repertoire of snacks that we felt it deserved a theme all on its own this month We bring you a sampling of their most popular and delectable snacks Cool. I think the ones on the side though the popular snacks are not related to that theme I think it's just going to be the main three So maybe I should just try and do those first We'll see here. Oh, man, there's a lot of stuff in here. Look at this There's tons and tons of stuff. I'll have to kind of figure out what's duplicated and what's not here. So Alright So this is what they call a Tirolian hat actually even says it on the Packaging Tirolian hat kind of looks like it's like some sort of like wafer ish cookie with some sort of cream in it We have one kind of like it in the last video So Maybe kind of similar Only do about half of it because then I want my wife to be able to try it when she comes Yeah, so as you can see very very Thin very small to very thin cookie things I assume there's some filling in there and it's a little bit of space, but it's not a lot of space So as it says about it the second most popular snack by Chidoriya These wafer sandwiches are also handmade and are the perfect light snack for when you're slightly hungry They come in three flavors lemon strawberry and coffee. Oh coffee is probably really good. I'm assuming By the smell smells really sweet This might be the strawberry Lemon, I believe yeah, so there's really not you kind of see it There's not a lot of the filling in there. There's filling. There's not a lot Very sugary tasting very light very crisp Slight lemon-iness that's good Little the cream in there is very very creamy when you get enough of it very buttery almost Creamy to the point where it's a little bit marshmallow like That's good. It's tasty. It's nice not like a crazy amount of flavor like some snacks are like pow with flavor It's very light. It's sugary. It's sweet Delicate like the texture how crispy it is. That's nice. I'm a fan. Oh, okay, never mind. This is oh I think this is the coffee one actually in which case I really taste coffee Unfortunately, it just tastes like the cream inside tastes sweet So I think that's the coffee one because then we also have this this would be the lemon one Color coding makes sense. All right, so I'm gonna Not open that one because it's probably gonna taste pretty similar The next one Don't know if this is one part this might be one of the main ones I don't know we'll find out it's got like pigs And if you can really see if there's like pigs on there Kind of can see Open this up and then I can figure out based on what they look like with one of these they are. Okay Are these oh, okay, these are not with The Featured these are not one of the featured snack items. So I guess we're gonna be jumping around These are cute though. I think my wife's gonna think these are really cute, too These are matcha koala no March is what they're called. So there's a little koala bear on there How cool does that look these little koala, babe? Look at this. Look at this koala bear. That's cute And it's just like this kind of It looks kind of like a pretzel filled with something but it's Looks like cookie like but it looks like it's kind of like an animal cracker type cookie So I'm assuming by saying matcha. It's like matcha tea A very popular snack in Japan these koala shaped cookies are filled with delicious matcha chocolate. Okay, so like tea chocolate White chocolate Well, you can see the green Of the matcha There's a lot of matcha flavor to it very green vegetal tea Don't really taste much in the way of the the white chocolate just a lot of matcha tea flavor in there Cookie on the outside very very crispy light and refreshing I'm not huge on it though I'm not a huge matcha fan And for me putting tea in things Isn't isn't a big draw. I like tea on its own But putting tea flavor in things a lot of times kind of weird especially when it's super green and vegetable like matcha, which I know is Probably gonna end up happening quite a bit with some of these snacks because matcha is a very popular flavor in Japan But for what it's supposed to be it's good well done. Okay next Try out this one. I'm not sure what that is yet Maybe this is one of the featured snacks from Shidoriya I think so This looks like I think that's what that is. Yes. Okay, so this is one of the other ones from Shidoriya and this is Hana Shidori feels very very soft It's a moist manju cake made with top grade finely milled bean paste Comes in two flavors mellow white bean paste and the rich yellow bean paste mixed with egg yolks. Okay so it's very Do we like bready bun looking type thing. It's like kind of like a pancake very very soft Very soft my teeth just cut right through this thing like butter So this is the white The mellow white bean paste I believe It's very I mean the colors not the best on this video. I'm sorry. I'll try and correct that But it's like very white You can get that bean quality. You know like beans are like a little bit like granularly You know I'm talking about like the bean consistency It's like a slight bit mushy grainy. It has that but it's got a sweet kick to it a little vanilla e You can get kind of an eggy note in there too pretty solid I'm not super huge on that. I Think I was like a red bean paste a little bit more. I'm more into the red bean paste or deal No, it's all right All right, and then here's the other one from Shedoria and this is a Turrolean so it looks like this might just be like a rolled up version of that Turrolean hat that we had But let me read about it real for that real fast. Sorry These renowned Turrolean roll cookies have been made using the same recipes and methods since the store opened in 1630 Using only the finest locally sourced ingredients from the island of Kyushu They've continued to make these delicious treats for nearly 400 years the inner cream filling comes in multiple flavors chocolate vanilla strawberry and coffee So I believe This is supposed to be a coffee flavored one because it tells you on the card for that one the coloration And it says a brown wrapper from the coffee one. So Hopefully I can taste coffee in this which I think I probably should be able to because there's a lot more cream in it And I'll show you when I open that up No So it looks very much like something like a pure lean if people are familiar with those. They're like cock Considered kind of like coffee cookies are like really long and like roll like this with a cream on the inside And you can get them in the United States. So it looks just like a fatter version of a pure lean Yeah, it's all cream in there Smells good. One of the things that sucks about these they just fall apart. They should like disintegrate Once you bite in It's good it does taste a lot like The Torolian hat, but there's a lot more of the cream to it. I Still don't think I really taste coffee. Honestly. It's just like a little vanilla buttery creamy Sweet so Yes, I just don't get it. Oh, okay. Well, they gave us a few actually. So here's the matcha. I Believe oh, no, they don't have a matcha one This is a chocolate one. This one's chocolate. Okay, not gonna open excited that one and this one is strawberry So that's cool, they put some variety in there. I like that looking forward to the chocolate one a lot Strawberry to actually So the coffee one once again, it's not super coffee. So I got all the ones for Sorry, I keep looking at the name Chidoriya She can't remember it So we had the that to roll your roll that we just had the Torolian hat and then How not Chidori which was like the little pancake you think pretty good I mean and especially for the recipes being similar to what over 400 years ago. I Mean, it's good. It's good. It's tasty All right, so let's move on to the some of the other popular snacks. We already had one which was that koala thing I'm always Super interested in these these all the same. Yes, these are all things So they gave us four of them which I'm excited about and it's KitKat people out there I don't know if you know but if you're big into Japanese food and Japanese culture you may know that there are tons of different flavors of KitKats in Japan Like I'm talking about a lot of different flavors flavors that never make it to United States And probably never will make to United States because kids KitKat isn't that popular doesn't have that level of popularity in the US So they have all these crazy flavors like I had one that was pancake flavored I had one that was strawberry cheesecake flavored There's tons of them. I think I have a wasabi one at one point. So here is one. This is a berry almond KitKat berry almond sounding very interesting Exclusive KitKat flavor you can only get in Japan matcha green tea KitKat topped with freeze-dried raspberry cherry and almond Sounds way more artisanal Then you would assume a KitKat is going to be so since it has a matcha flavor We'll see what that translates to for how I will like it and you can see that it's matcha. It's green See all the berries and the nuts on top There's definitely a lot of matcha coming through but the berries and the nuts kick in not long after the matcha starts really building up so it's like a very strong tea vegetal flavor at first and then it gets cut off by the the berries I guess it was the raspberries and cherries and then they come in and you get like the the cherry Vibrancy and the fruitiness and a little bit of tartness from them and then right after that that flavor gets cut off And then the almonds come in and it's that nice nutty like toasted almond flavor Um, there's a lot going on And that as I described I'm actually pretty damn tasty I like that I'm not big on candy, but You know, it's KitKat's are just KitKat's are good I'm a fan man That's really good. That's really good. That's way better than I thought it was gonna be Impressed And I don't know all the information on this but apparently The company that owns KitKat in Japan is different than the company that actually owns KitKat in the United States Which you can say on here Nestle Nestle owns KitKat here. I think KitKat's owned by Hershey In the United States. I might be wrong on that. Don't quote me But anyway So the next thing is a milk country candy Back by popular demand candy made with all natural organic Hokkaido milk So it is it's got some cows on there You can see you got some cows We had a milk candy a few A few boxes actually and one was like a strawberry milk candy I don't think we've had like a milk milk candy, but it looks like milk I guess it's just like milk This might be a hard candy, so I might just suck it for a little bit and then take it out because there's one other treat in here Yeah, there's a hard candy I'm gonna suck on it for a little bit Get a flavor and then I'll finish it later that's interesting because Literally it tastes like milk It's creamy a little bit vanilla a little touch of vanilla to it. I'm guessing to just have like a little extra flavor Yeah, just creamy and it tastes like vanilla milk It's good It is good. It's kind of like Caramel like caramel like light, you know Like a light very light flavor version of like a caramel that you would suck on like a worlers or something It's good tastes good And it's not for having as much sugar in it as I assume it has It's not crazy sweet because that creamy mouth feel kind of like Tamps down the sugariness. So that's nice. And then the last treat we have here is um by mejai And it is Apollo strawberry is what it's called I've never had something in one of these shaped packs before I don't oh no, I did in my first box. They had some um Chocolate covered uh send by in a package kind of like this. I think these are cool. I think the United States should get more into this type of stuff Um, it's just easier to open. You can just pop them right open. Which why don't I just do that? So these are Apollo strawberry every Japanese child's favorite chocolate These are made with milk chocolate and strawberries. Oh my god as soon as I opened this up It was just like a loft of strawberry flavoring smell just nailed my nose As you can see this little Chocolate on the bottom strawberry on the top chocolate and strawberry So it tastes like um The strawberry doesn't taste very artificial though There's like a nice milk chocolate very very light and then the strawberry Kind of comes out on top of that chocolatey flavor Also very light delicate Tastes a lot more like actual strawberries And not strawberry flavoring. So that's really nice That's one of the things I really appreciate I feel like a lot of times when I have snacks and candies from the United States when it's strawberry It tastes like a strawberry flavoring. It's a little bit chemically Everything strawberry I've had at least from this box It tastes like at least somewhat like actual strawberry and not like super chemical like artificial strawberry. So I appreciate that So anyway, that's it. Oh, that's all that's in there. I'm uh, super excited Super excited to uh share all this with my wife I feel like there was even more there were even more items in this box than the last box on the one before that um So I was actually surprised by how much was in there and thank goodness that everything was individually packaged because And they packaged the way it was not like You know some sort of like paper thing because the rain could have been ruining it but Really good. I'm a fan of the snacku box snacku doing a really good job. Shigeki You're doing an awesome job with these tasting boxes. Um I want to remind people the price on this tasting box $15 and 75 cents It's for the united states only though. So just know that uh and that $15 and 75 cents includes shipping includes tax all that It's a deal in my opinion. Do you get to try some cool stuff each month? If you want to go bigger and better though, they have one that is Like between $35 $40 something like that and you get a lot more items and you get more of those items So if you're looking for a lot more in a month get it done You can do it that way. I don't eat sweets Sweet stuff all that often, but I want to be trying this stuff. So that's one of the main reasons I'm doing the tasting box and not the full-size box. So Anyway, with that information go check out snacku. It's pretty damn tasty and cool Uh, also, thank you for checking out this video.
