 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video and this is the August, oh no I'm sorry it's the September Snaku, I'm already screwing this up, disclaimer up front, the HVAC system's right back there so if there's too much noise from it running hopefully I can mess with the audio and make it sound better but hopefully it's not really a problem so if it is I'll figure it out and in the future it won't be as bad but whatever, sorry. Anyway this is the September Snaku and I've actually moved, I've gone from the tasting size box to the regular size box, the main reason for that being I wanted more snacks, what I was having from the tasting box was really good stuff and when I was done I was like where's more, I want more because it's really tasty so it just was a little bit and it wasn't enough for me so I went for the big one. I did miss the August box, that was my fault because I didn't look at the website closely enough for the order by dates and the shipping dates for the tasting box versus the regular size box because they're different because actually the tasting box comes from New York and the regular box actually comes from Japan so this one is actually from Japan. So really bummed that I missed the August one, it was my fault, the August one was all about Senpai and if you've watched any of my other unboxings of these and tastings you know I love Senpai, Big Fan, Rice Crackers, all that stuff so good but I think there's supposed to be a little bit of Senpai in here, maybe one or two so I'll have something but very excited to get into this. The way this one comes it comes in a regular brown box marked from Japan and so actually because it's coming from Japan it can take up to four weeks to get to me I think it only took me for me it was like a week and a half maybe, maybe two weeks I don't know so then once you open that brown box you have this cloth wrapped around another box and I believe this is called a washi fushiki or something like that I looked it up before but it's really pretty like you can reuse it it's cloth so it's just like a almost like a cheesecloth-ish but more dense I don't know and then there's kind of the outside sleeve that looks like this I think this is always the same for the outside sleeve and then there's the inside have the card which actually got water on a little bit ago so sorry about that and you have the box itself with all the snackages in there I'll take the paper off the top and this is what you see sorry there maybe turn whoop got stuff falling out of here turned this way and still falling out of there but whatever as you can see trying to do it without glare okay there you go lots of snacks in there so I'm gonna go through this will be a long video cuz I'm gonna go through and try a little bit everything I am currently hungry so I and that's the thing about doing this I got it during the week I will never do record these during the week just because I don't have enough time to do it after work because they take a little bit of time and on top of that I have to be really quite hungry so I can best coordinate that on the weekends so for this month like I said sorry there's water up here looks nice for their little card this is their best of box basically I'm not gonna read all their stuff up top about it but I will read the descriptions of the actual snacks when we do the snacks so there's a lot in here let's start with whatever's sitting right on top chocolate Blanc this one that one sounds like a little bit messed up this one sounds a little less so so open this one up not sure which one this is gonna be I'll have to actually open it open and figure it out there you go see chocolate Blanc people want to see the writing on the back was that up right set up yeah it was okay and I have a plate over there to put the open things into as well as some water big old thing of water big old thing of water to rinse in between okay so this must be the shroy coibito sorry pronunciation I'm just I mean I might be good on it I might not be good on it this looks good by the way looking tasty already oh get the glare down a little bit on that we go kind of looks like a kind of like a sugar cookie with like a vanilla icing on the inside by far the most popular and award-winning cookie from Hokkaido shroy quick beat though translates to white lover sounds a little weird and it's a simple yet delicious cookie with white chocolate sandwich between butter biscuits we always include these in our Hokkaido box because they're that good definitely white chocolate in there I'm not huge on white chocolate but this isn't a ton of white chocolate so I'm kind of good with it thing I really like about white chocolate typically is kind of waxy it gets really waxy in the texture those cookies are really buttery and really really sweet but not too much so definitely get that buttery cookie first sorry my hair is all screwed and then that sweet white chocolate flavor kicks in right after you're getting like the butteriness of the cookie the cookie is my favorite part of it because it's got like a crunch to it too and texture is really cool I really like some good texture with my snacks food in general that's the thing that chefs always talk about is you know it's important to have texture so there's some extra those next this looks like the baked salted senpai let's do this let's do this senpai and then the text on the back I don't know if I was upside down there we go that's right set up okay so a simple yet delicious double baked salted senpai and that's all they have for the description on it kind of kind of weird smell in the package weird package smell so as you can see very like rice cakey in the way it feels it's very light got a nice crunch to it it is quite salty very very salty on the outside without real nice crunch mm-hmm it just tastes like a crunchier rice cake that's more tasty because it actually tastes like there's like a slight soy sauce flavor on the outside as well to go along with the salt but there is a lot of salt you have to be okay with having like a nice salty snack I think maybe for me I'd like the salt dial back just a little bit but it's not like I can't eat it I will eat it I will definitely eat it that's tasty senpai cleanse of powder a little bit here there's an extra one of that okay next I think we have a few of these things like two of these oh yes I know which one these are the shiogama so I think there's a few different flavors of this okay I'm just gonna now for purpose of how it looks on screen I'm gonna do this one in the blue so for shiogama and I'll read you what it is nice little packaging you probably want to see it's a little bit obscured by the sticker but sorry about that if you want to read so shiogama is a snack made by a Buddhist temple in Sendai featured in their May Sendai box each piece is carefully homemade using the original recipe and techniques passed down since 1600 that's a long time the outer layer is made with a mixture of finely milled locally produced rice from Miyagi shiso which is Japanese mint from Sendai and premium sugar from Tokushima the inside is filled with lightly salted azuki red bean paste the snack is a favorite of Japan's royal family oh so I get to know what it's like to feel like royalty so I am a fan of red bean paste and I didn't really know that until I tasted my first snack snack because in the United States you don't really have exposure to anything like that so I realized through snack who read bean paste I'm digging it okay so this is like I think this is gonna be messy to eat if you can see like it's real like it's real kind of like sugary on the outside it's it's kind of like it's like packed sugar so I'm gonna have to I'm actually gonna eat it over the plate sorry hmm okay this is interesting okay so when I first start biting into it it literally is just like packed sugar it's sweet like that and it's grainy but then as I keep biting through it starts to become almost a little cake like and like a mixture between like the texture of like a cake and a marshmallow there's a little bit of a floral note on there which I'm assuming has to do with that mint texturally this is really interesting and I really dig this texture I'm not huge on that kind of floral note cuz like flour flavoring in stuff can easily turn me off but the red bean paste is tasting nice sweet yeah and yeah it's sugary but it's actually not crazy sugary for when I was reading the description I was like I think it'd be really sweet really really sugary really wasn't that bad huh this is fun to eat because of the texture yeah that's funny that texture is cool I did it it wasn't actually I didn't even need to have it over that plate it wasn't as messy as I thought it was gonna be that's good that's good as I keep eating it more and more I'm tasting more of the red bean paste too which to me is almost like a dial back version and a little more sweet and a little less of the flavor of like a fig I dig it though I like it why is my there we go knock out lighter cameras man okay moving on to the next one so this is looks like happy turn there's what it's called on here happy turn there you go there's some happy turn see the back of it if you want to sorry I can't get all the glare off that it's hard to describe these rice crackers they're both sweet and savory and we love them not a lot to it got my interest when you say rice crackers I'm in oh yeah there let me get a full one those one are they all broken there's a bunch of broken that's fine I don't really care that much I just think for for showing people I'd like to have a non-broken one yeah so it kind of like they kind of look like these like fingerling cookies like the ones they kind of like put in tiramisu or whatever yeah I was like cozy and salt oh dude hmm so it's got a little bit of like a garliciness to it a decent amount of salt got that soy in there nice crunch and there is a little sweetness but it's not tasting like it's just like sugar sweetness I mean I think it might be but the way it's integrating itself with the garlic flavor in there I just feel like it comes off as not like it's just sugar makes it more pleasant than if it tastes like it's just sugar dude man hmm there's another bag in there I'm digging that better yeah that is pretty killer I like that a lot oh my gosh okay I hope my wife doesn't really like that because I will just destroy it I'll eat it all well pal cleanser no that was really really good I will stick with savory at the moment um this is gonna be interesting I've had something kind of like these before in the US these are saya endo crisp naturally baked snow pea crisps with a hint of traditional Japanese dashi flavor all right there you go no happy pee right there no happy pee yeah I can open it from the top in a way that I can then reclose it if I need to because there's actually only one of these in there which is okay because there's a decent amount in there because it's just like low pee pods yeah I've had something kind of like this here in the states yeah see this looks like a like a crispy pie really light and fluffy kind of like it's been cheeto-wise you know like the texture of like a puff cheeto it's like that definitely has that vegetable like bean pod flavor but it's not a ton really it's got a nice saltiness to it this is good getting your veggies is the best way to get your veggies kind of addictive that's really tasty you know it kind of tastes a little potato chippy actually like slightly potato-y slightly like actual vegetable like a bean that's good though like a decent amount of salt to it but just not not a lot like it's a nice saltiness that's pretty good mm-hmm so I said I've had stuff like that here in the US but they've not been as good as that I will say that's really good yeah that's the best version of that I've ever had all right next you see which one's less I think this one's less messed up okay so I think this is the vanilla wafer but I'm gonna have to open it up to find out just to be sure I hope it that definitely says bourbon on it I hope that means like bourbon flavor because I do dig that yes it's the vanilla wafer it says light airy wafer sandwich filled with delicious vanilla cream from Hokkaido so I don't know what bourbon means in Japanese but and it says on the wafer too see it says bourbon it's like a little yeah it's like wait for some keep and see the filling in there the vanilla filling really like crispy wafer flavor you have yourself kind of like this in the US definitely get that vanilla and that like vanilla cream inside if you can see I don't want to be too overexposed yeah anything in there mm-hmm yeah I like how crispy it is very very crispy it's light and flavor like it's sweet but it's but it's like a real low level of sweet it's just a nice light dessert or snack I like that that's good all right moving on again let's not switch back to that let's let's do this right now which is what straw strawberry or melon I feel like I should do melon for this cuz strawberries is normal so the next thing I have I brought a spoon for cuz I'm gonna need it kind of Zawa fruit jelly two different ones strawberry and a melon I don't think I've ever had like a melon flavored anything from Japan so but we'll go with that one so what it says about that summary fruit jellies made with organic locally produced Japanese fruits from the city of Kanazawa you'll either get strawberry melon orange grape or peach who wish I would have got peach I like peach a lot we included these jellies in our September 2016 summer fruits of Japan box it's really the tops really on there okay there we go and it's like jelly make it oh oops sorry I'm gonna have to lick it off sorry about that that looked bad it was you know not very professional it got on the mouse pad area I needed to take care of that tastes good though but I did bring a spoon drink from it let's see like the jelly yeah very gelatin like definitely tasting like melon kind of like a honeydew melon and it's not too sugary it's like light on the on the sweetness a lot of melon flavor a little bit of honey so it's like melon and then honey comes in after that if you're fine with like a jelly texture it's good it's refreshing I like that I'll try it up really like a strawberry too it's good it's tasty I like that need some water it's like a snack marathon I love it because like I said I'm hungry so this is good this is I wouldn't say it's quite filling me up but okay I'm gonna go back to something savory this is a Gura Sonsu mini Arar Senbai or Arari yes Senbai this is what I was talking about I have a feeling I'm gonna really dig on this there's like different shapes our read was first we first featured or a Gura Sonsu in our September 2015 snack box they have been making traditional Japanese rice crackers for over 60 years nice all of their Senbai are handmade in their store in Kyoto using only the finest locally sourced ingredients in each bag are a variety of mini Senbai of different shapes sizes texture and flavor so different flavors in there awesome oh and they're kind of like all right see how this is well it's funny because what they're wrapped in is kind of like a rice paper so they're in just like a loop though should have done that over this I'm like getting crumbs all over okay so there you go yeah look at that lots of different Senbai okay so this one looks like it's like kind of pinkish so I assume maybe it's got some sort of like strawberry flavor to it it tastes a tad bit fishy it's shrimp that's what it is that light fishiness is shrimp there's a shrimp flavored Senbai a lot of crunch to it a little bit of a soy sauce on the outside a little salty but shrimp and it's not too strong like the shrimp flavor is not like crazy strong there have been things I've had their shrimp flavor that just like the shrimp is like real fishy and unpleasant this is not that way that is good I'm a fan this one I think will be kind of fishy because it has seaweed on it I found Senbai with seaweed or like rice crackers in the US with seaweed on them I'm not huge on because they do have more of like an ocean-y fishy taste but same thing low low low level saltiness to it very little bit of a soy the seaweed really shines so it's basically just like crispy seaweed is what ends up tasting like which is not really for me I'm not huge on that but if you like seaweed you will definitely like that so this one's a little more puffed up I mean what is in there like those little things kind of look like chives to me that'd be nice if it was okay so this is kind of like one of those fried ones like double fried it's like really thick to get through you can taste that it was kind of fried which makes it kind of like more savory and decadent almost gives it a little bit of like a butteriness but it's got a nice salt throughout it's got a little bit of that tang from the soy sauce on the outside that's good I think that's my favorite of them thus far we got this one that looks like black sesame seeds and it's like it's brown but it's also like a little greenish at the same time I had one with black sesame seeds in it before and love love loved it so that's magical that is magical I love sesame in the first place I'm a big sesame fan so that yeah I'm saving half of each one so my wife can try it because we do have another thing of them but we're going on a trip sometime relatively soon I want to take all this stuff with us be fun to eat in the car while we drive that was really good this looks like it's another one is kind of like double fried ones but it's a little bit lighter it doesn't feel like it has as much like a glaze on the outside mm-hmm okay so in comparison to the other one this one's kind of more doubt-back with flavor it's light it's crispy it tastes like it's like that double fried one but it's higher on the salt content and I don't really taste any like soy tang or anything to it there's not really any sweetness it's just kind of more salty it's good I like it this one looks like it has some sort of nuts in there coffee bean almost looks like a coffee bean kind of I don't know that's interesting isn't that be interesting for it yeah it's some sort of nut what type of nut does that taste like I'm trying to figure this out it's like a real mild nut it's not like super aggressive it's kind of like a darker more roasty version of like pine nut maybe kind of that's a little more in between on the flavor there's a decent salt to it there's a nice crunch to it you get a little bit of that nut it's pretty solid alright this one's coated in a lot of stuff you see all the like the sugar or salt grains on there yeah I think it's actually coated in sugar because sweet there's like no salt to it nice and crispy does have a tang from soy sauce that you can get and then it's like real sweet that's definitely sugar on the outside that's interesting hmm and then the last of these crackers or the Senpai it's like a whole star one with flecks of something in it oh what is that it almost tastes like corn like yeah basically what it tastes like is like corn that's been glazed with like a soy sauce glaze a little sweet yeah there's like a little bit of a vegetable note in there too that's interesting not big on that one though not my favorite a bunch of the other ones real good all right next okay excited about this I've had this one before it was all one of my reviews when I'm a dude again since we're here this is the strawberry de soireur de quoi I don't know how to say it there you go a baked dessert cake made with layers of almond and hazelnut meringue and whipped strawberry buttercream this was included in our February 2018 Valentine's box yeah so I only got like one of these when I was getting the tasting box so two of these now so that's nice this is why I'm saying it was good that I stepped it up to the regular one opening it over the actual plate more often here give with it carlin set dropping stuff you can see looks like real kind of cakey feels cakey there's so much strawberry in there whoa it's really light and fluffy when you bite into it and it's just invade your mouth with like a nice vibrant strawberry flavor mmm so cakey so I don't get like the hazelnut aspect to the meringue and everything because the strawberry is so strong but it's good definitely tastes that's like a buttercream in the middle definitely buttery creamy all right that's my half that's good I remember it being good it is very good oh and then the last thing it's a really small so I have two different ones of it these are con pito star-shaped traditional candy that is a favorite among children during summer festivals so I have two different colors so I got a pack of that's like green yellow and white and then like an orange pink and a little bit yellow in there do this one the pink they're really small they're gonna be like kind of like they look like little like rock candies or like nerds that's that's gonna be the best frame of reference for what they kind of look like real close up but I'll try and show you here let me give you an orange one to show the camera so price stand out the most out of these some crumbs on me same by chrome okay can you see it see it kind of looks like like little rock candy it's like a overly grown nerd it's hard yeah it's rock candy basically it just tastes like sugar like pure unadulterated sugar which is why it's probably very popular with the kids in Japan just get all hopped up on sugar with that okay there you go whoo that's too much for me I don't want I don't like those actually just cuz it's just like straight-up sugar I don't like that yeah alright anyway if people wanted to pause on this I will put put this up here if you want to read the thing at the top am I getting it all in there I am okay so I'll just kind of scroll up you can pause it if you wanted to reread something there you go well hopefully everyone enjoyed this unboxing I definitely did what were some of my favorite things I'm not gonna pull them back over here but obviously the little assortment of the senpai were really cool just fun to taste through other than that that shiogama you know the thing that was like looked like that here you go I'll show you this this one down here that shiogama real interesting real interesting the texture mainly I mean it was good too that strawberry de soire d'aqua I mean I don't know if I'm saying it right but whatever and then the other thing that really kind of rocked my socks off this thing the hoppy turn that yeah really tasty so these things are really good is a great box I'm real excited for my first like straight up full-on snacku box awesome I'm excited so the one for October is actually going to be a fall theme and so I believe there's gonna be some pumpkin stuff in there I'm not huge on pumpkin that's my disclaimer up front but who
