 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. This is for the February Snaku and like usual I wasn't able to get to the unboxing it immediately. So I've had it for a little bit. They do ship pretty early into the month So as is usual, I think there's gonna be some strawberry related stuff in here They always do that for February because Valentine's Day is a thing in Japan as well So that's cool. Also, I have to apologize if my voice is a little bit off If I end up coughing a little bit during this because I'm getting over something. So it sucks Anyway, so here's what we got. Aha nice nice looking For that and if you want to take a look There you go It's like we're gonna have like a moon pie type thing in there. Which is cool. Which is cool This is what it's looking like in the box All the goodies Always get excited for these. He's always make me happy. Okay So first of all, I'm just gonna do this. We have two of these Because they're like the biggest thing in there. I need to get them out of here. So these are from the popular snacks side This is happy turn Um, it's hard to describe these rice crackers. They're both sweet and salty and we love them I think I've had this exact product. Actually, what's with the lighting? I think I've had this exact product in the in, um Snaku before and I think I remember liking it. I can remember I can kind of like vaguely remember Yep. Yep. We definitely had this before and I remember liking it. Yeah, it's kind of like a senpai-ish thing And it's sweet and salty It's it definitely has like a um A little bit of a soy sauce smell to it. It definitely smells a little salty. It's slightly sweet Yeah And it's nice and crispy. I love it. There's definitely a sweetness to it It's almost like there's a little coating of sugar on the outside And then salt nice rice cracker crunch to it No It's good. I really like that That's another one. I would say is good to have with a beer, but I'm gonna have some beer tonight. So I'm recording this on a friday. It's not necessarily gonna come out on a friday. So I'm gonna relax have a beer. I'll eat some of those Gonna be good. Yeah, so Happy turn make me happy All right moving on This also looks familiar. I think we've had this in the In a box before as well Also from the popular snack side Black puffed rice baked organic japanese rice puffs glazed with dark soy sauce and black sesame paste Because this also looks familiar But rice puffs I should like it I like that type of stuff Oh, yeah, so much soy sauce smell just like Such that's like salty. It's got that kind of umami from the soy sauce Hmm, I think you can hear it is very crunchy. It's even crunchier than those happy turns Mm-hmm I get the black sesame flavor in there, which is really nice It's mainly a lot of the Just like the typical rice cracker flavor With some nice soy sauce too a little bit salty and then comes in that black sesame at the end That's good. That will go also go well with some beer. So exciting Let me clear this Clear my palette off there. Okay next thing I'm just kind of like randomly grabbing so I'm not trying to do like some over here some over there. So we'll see what this one this one Is this a chocolate senpai I'm gonna have to show it to you in the oh, yeah Rice crackers coated with chocolate chocolate senpai Heart-shaped airy senpai rice crackers covered in rich milk chocolate from hakaido another senpai thing totally down with that I love my senpai Uh, this is from the featured snacks portion Of the box I'm excited about this Because a I love senpai b I love chocolates Who doesn't actually I do know some people who don't like chocolate weird Yeah I mean We can see the cracker in there It's I mean it's good But it's like a little overly simple in my opinion After having the last two rice crackers I really want it to have a bit of a saltiness to it as well Like if there was if there was like a medium salt to that that would be really cool because there's no saltiness to it It just has the the rice cracker flavor The crunch and then it's just milk chocolate, which is a good flavor, but it's mainly just like milk chocolate with a crunch You know So I just want a little saltiness with it. That would be really nice Good though, you know, not a bad product. Okay, we've had these before I know I think the same though. Okay, we've had these before these are the chocolate ararae From a rice cracker store in Kyoto comes a snack 10 years in the making these chocolate covered mini rice crackers have Sorry even been featured on tv in japan They come in two pouches bitter and sweet the bitter pouch includes matcha green tea dark chocolate and white chocolate covered crackers The sweet pouch contains strawberry milk chocolate and white chocolate I'm gonna do the sweet because One I don't like matcha and two this box is supposed to have a bunch of like strawberry type stuff for February so it'll make sense if I can do like strawberry one So I'm gonna open that one for this And I'll just try one of each that's in there. So we have the milk chocolate No So it tastes kind of like the last thing we had Except there is more of a so there's like a soy sauce flavor in there, which is almost a little bit of a saltiness That's better Actually, yeah, that's good. I like that Let's see about the white chocolate. I'm real iffy on white chocolate. So oh man, that looks so overexposed. I mean White chocolate to me is okay sometimes It just mainly just tastes like Almost nothing. It's like a little vanilla-y And it's like whack like particularly waxy. I'm a big fan And then here's the strawberry one That just looks like it's probably white chocolate with strawberry added to it and coloring Doesn't smell like strawberry It does taste like strawberry Now it's okay. And yes, it is like a white chocolate with some strawberry flavor added It does kind of like dress up the white chocolate more for me So like I like it more than the straight white chocolate But I don't know. Is it too much strawberry? Just about Okay, so those are decent not looking forward to the matcha ones though Hate matcha I hate it All right, let me get this one out of the way. I think my wife's gonna like Eating her half of this one Lottie choco pie chocolate coated vanilla cream sandwich pie Choco pie soft chocolate covered cake sandwich filled with a mildly sweet cream filling Perfect pick me up for when you are feeling down. I'm not feeling down today. I'm actually having a quite a good day But you still make me happy I'm sure There's a It's like dark chocolate Chocolate doesn't look like straight. You know, it looks more like dark chocolatey I have to pick up the plate for this one because you can get crump like the cake inside can get pretty crumbly Hmm. Oh my god It's so soft This is the thing about these like pre-packaged snacks that we get from japan Like how is it when you get it in united states? They're like almost always stale or like not moist, but whenever i'm getting them from japan they're moist It's so soft. It's like my teeth just cut right through this thing Very chocolatey nice cakey-ness vanilla on the inside Hmm Yeah, my teeth just go right through it very pleasant. My wife's gonna enjoy her half of that Yeah, it's good for me It's kind of like a moon pie that we have in the united states And like i've said i've had that before it's been in it's been in here before It's good It's tasty and yeah, it tastes a little more like a Tastes like a mix of a milk and dark chocolate actually I don't know if it actually is but that's just what's tasting like to me right now. Okay next Let's have one of these. Oh, so there's two. Okay We've also had these we've had a lot of these before So I think the problem is like when they want to keep it on theme for february for the you know Valentine's day stuff. It's a little it might be a little bit limited what they can get So here we go the tokyo rusk pieces Bite-sized double baked baguettes soaked in chocolate or strawberry cream Super light fluffy and crunchy all at the same time So once again, I have a chocolate one and I have a strawberry one so I'm gonna do strawberry one because that's what it's about It's about the strawberries in february And these things like I don't understand the packaging like all that packaging just for this little cube You know it seems like a little excessive here I mean, it looks like rusk rusk is like that twice baked baguette. I love rusk. I think the texture is great It's got an awesome crunch usually tastes really good. So this just kind of looks like it's soaked In like a white chocolate with strawberry. I don't really smell much of any strawberry. It just smells sweet definitely white chocolate Not as much crunch as I usually get from rusks and it's Kind of strawberry-y, but it's almost nondescript Like some sort of fruity something if I didn't already know what it was as I was eating it I would probably just be like there's a fruity something. I don't know It's very low level. It's mainly the white chocolate that shines with that and For me not a big fan. I bet this chocolate one's going to be a lot better though. Just saying Just saying Okay, what else do we have here? This looks interesting We have not had this one. No, I don't think we've had this one before This is bourbon chocolere We've had something by this company before well a few times Baked wheat biscuit topped with milk chocolate. It sounds pretty basic-ish There's two of them in each pack. So that's cool These look like they're like Items that you would have with like tea if you're a british Or if you're american and you like having tea with the snacks My wife and I go to like tea houses here and there and we'll do like high tea and stuff I enjoy it. It just smells like milk chocolate. Ooh Oh so the um The biscuit portion it's really buttery. It's got a little bit of a A little bit of a crunchiness to it not a whole lot It reminds me a lot of like well made pie crust Because it's a little bit flaky when you bite into it and that level of buttery-ness And then it's just like a nice milk chocolate with that That's really good it seems really easy and like simple and basic but The flavor is really there Oh, man, it's that biscuit that biscuit is just so buttery and it's so flaky once you bite into it. It's just Yeah, like I said, it reminds me of a really good pie crust Which there are not many good pie crusts out there And I'm spoiled because my mom makes pies all a lot of the time And when she does she always makes pie crust from scratch I know how to do it as well. It's a family recipe. It's It takes a lot of time, but flavor-wise Totally worth it. Okay. What's our next thing here? This must be the Strawberry karara, I think I'll show it Yeah, I think so I'll show it to you There I'm gonna open it up and and then I'll know for sure if that's what it is and I'll tell you about Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. So we we've also had something like this before Here we go. Um, strawberry karara, delicate butter cookie sandwich from a famous shop called Fubeon in Kyushu, which is in southern island japan The cookies are filled with a luxurious mix of cocoa whipped cream and freeze dried strawberries Yeah, sounds good. We may have had this exact one for last february to be honest It definitely, oh my gosh It smells very strongly Of strawberry but in a good way like smells like actual strawberry like fresh Tasty strawberry with a nice sweetness behind it too It's like sugary strawberry. I smell the buttery-ness There's a bit of a crunch to it with the inside Mmm, that's like a good strawberry flavor. I really like the cream on the inside If we can cut so overexposed, sorry see it there you go. That's better This lighting gives up and out so much Yeah It's very light. It's kind of fluffy um I like the strawberry cream because It's a definite strawberry flavor. It's pretty strong, but it also doesn't feel like super rich or anything It's a nice flavor. It's good Excuse me All right, moving on. We're getting close to the end. I think we just have two more things. Oh, this is I don't know how this is going to be. This looks It's an interesting concept and oh, I think it's freeze dried. So I don't oh, I don't know texturally I don't know how I'm going to be with this This is koisuru strawberry Seasonal snack made with organic freeze dried strawberry from the farms in rural Tochigi, Japan the strawberries are then covered in either premium white chocolate or strawberry infused white chocolate Okay, did I get one of each or something? No, well, I don't know they look the same So yeah, I mean literally it's like half of a freeze-dried strawberry with white chocolate on it Now here's the thing texturally. I don't really like the texture of like freeze dried stuff. Typically it's a little Like nails on a chalkboard for me. Like I remember when I was younger eating Trying to eat like space ice cream, you know, like that freeze dried neapolitan ice cream And not being able to handle it because of that texture Here we go It's just All I smell is sweetness and white chocolate Okay That texture is much lighter than I assume. There's less. There's not as much resistance as I thought there would be but There's a really awesome just burst Of a fresh strawberry flavor that's really nice And then it comes in with that sweet white chocolate It's pretty good Honestly For me personally, I can see a lot of people liking this but for me personally since I'm not usually on white chocolate I would love to have that with preferably dark chocolate But even milk chocolate and those would be really really good That's what they should be doing not the white chocolate the white like Like I said, I know some people who would really like that But I feel like more people would just like a regular chocolate. Just do milk chocolate It's interesting though. I'm very interested at interested dad. My wife tried the other one And then this is another thing we've already had a lot of things already had in this box And this is one of the popular snacks This is milk country candy back by popular demand candy made with all natural organic hokkaido milk There it is I'm actually not going to open this right now because I've already done it on this channel before I've done it on one of these Actually, I think this is the third time that I've gotten these in a box Which is fine because I actually like these so I'll just tell you I remember what they taste like They're very creamy because obviously they're made with milk. They're not super sweet They almost taste a little bit like homemade caramel in a way And like a very light caramel They're very very good. I'm a fan of those. Those are great and got four of them They're all just one flavor. It's just straight milk. It'd be cool if they did like chocolate milk ones of that or even strawberry Given it's you know, february. So anyway, uh, this is good. Um Good box definitely a good box a little bum that we had a lot of repeat things Just because I like getting new stuff, but the this a lot of the stuff that we're getting more Getting again, I I like so that's okay So for me, what do I like the most actually I think the majority of what I like the most is coming from the popular snack side and not the featured snack side That's that's free-side strawberry was definitely interesting. I'm glad to have had that the strawberry karara these things right here Um Are quite good. That's really nice and flavorful Other than that the happy turn these things are great. Like I said, I'm gonna have a beer and eat those. That's gonna be awesome Um, chocolate pie is pretty good the black Sorry black puffed rice is pretty solid. Um, but I I gotta say my favorite thing Is here I'll just pull out the on open package is these things I only have a bright side up these things man that that really surprised me and they're really good Um, god that like that like pie crust biscuit is just amazing and the nice milk chocolate That's not too sweet because that's the other thing I talk about it all the time when I do these unboxings on here and taste these food these foods Um is that when it's sweets in japan, they're not sickly sweet like they are in the united states And I love that about japanese snacks.
