 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. This is the unboxing for the November regular Snaku box This is kind of fast. It came really quick. I actually Believe that I got the email just like yesterday or the day before that saying your snack who has shipped Which usually it's taken like a week or two because it's legitimately coming straight from Japan. So this box Coming from Japan, which is awesome All right, so this has an interesting theme. So we'll see how it goes I'm sure it'll still be like good stuff, but this is what you see inside. Whoop as I just pour everything out. I Should have done it the other way get all this off the computer Real-life situation. Yeah, because it was all stacked like stuff sitting in this way like the bottom's going this way So when I did it this way and turned it up just all fell out. Anyway, that's kind of what it looks like There's all sorts of stuff in there looking good. So we'll go through all this So the theme of this is actually yuzu and wasabi. Excuse me Readjust myself here because I'm gonna be sitting here for a little bit. These take a while So yuzu and wasabi for November Japan is without a doubt a country of foodies. There's so many different types of food You can't find anywhere else this this month. We feature two specific ingredients native to Japan yuzu It's a popular citrus fruit in Japan And yeah, I'm not gonna read all that because it's a little bit boring when I'm just reading stuff I'll read the descriptions of the individual things though, but here you go. This is the Picture that they have that is an actual sabi root. I guess I guess it's a root so There's a decent amount of wasabi stuff in here, too So I was thinking when it's when it said for the teaser for last time it was like yuzu and wasabi I was like it'll probably be just like a little bit of wasabi stuff and mainly yuzu because That seems like a more more harmonious thing, you know, it's citrus a lot of people like that. So But we'll see All right, so the first thing it's just gonna be whatever I grab first Sorry dogs are going crazy outside for whatever reason. I don't know So the first is a yuzu cake. Let's kick it off with some yuzu In the packaging A little silica packet there to keep it fresh So a yuzu cake. This is a regional delicacy from the oita Prefecture in southern japan Two soft pillowy buns are filled with 100 natural yuzu jelly They are each made by hand by a snack shop that won the 2008 national confectionary competition interesting Dogs just going nuts. So I like cats cats don't yell really dogs do Oh man, this is really oh, they do have a little terry area. I guess I should look a little bit closer Oh, man, this is super like freaking soft See that push it a little bit. It's very very very soft It smells like it legit just smells like a potato roll Basically like that bready. Although I do get a little bit of a lemon. No coming off it Those people make their animals shut up Oh Super light and fluffy and cakey Oh, man. Okay. So my mother makes like a lemon poppy seed cake And it kind of tastes like that But the yuzu is a little closer to an orange than it is to a lemon It has a little bit of a lemony note to it But it's a lot of oranginess and it is like a jelly in there. You know, it's a little there you go You can see it's a jelly in there It was like So soft That's awesome. I like that a lot That's really good. Like that's an awesome dessert right there Wow Man, that citrus is so so so vibrant and it's just the right amount of sweetness in the actual like bun portion of it Because I don't like it crazy sugary with stuff That is really nice I realized something I didn't do on the other videos like take a drink of water between each one Which I should do Kind of cleanse my palate a bit. Okay, so there's an extra one of those Um, I'm gonna save that thing because that'll be interesting All right, so the next thing we have here is nori wasabi akome Uh baked puff rice chips sprinkled with sea salt and wasabi and seaweed powder So says the thing They kind of look like bagel chips a little bit on the outside Let's see what they look like on the inside. Oh, and I only have one of these. I'm assuming because it's kind of a large bag All right, let's see Oh, they can smell that little bit of uh, fishiness from the seaweed. It smells of the sea. Yeah, it's kind of like, um You know it's like a mix between like a like a rice crisp and like a um I was like gonna say oyster cracker. It's kind of what it looks like. Yeah, and you definitely smell seaweed on there I don't smell wasabi though Oh, oh So initially I get like the crunchiness And I got a really nice saltiness and then the um wasabi kicks in right after that Oh That's really good though. I really like that quick wasabi kick It just gets like a little bit of heat on your tongue, but not too much. That's cool. I like that a lot. Um Let's try it on I'm trying to see if I can really get the seaweed I can't really perceive the seaweed and I think it's mainly because the wasabi Kind of masks it for me between the salt the saltiness and the wasabi It really masks that seaweed But these are really good. I like these quite a lot I know I've said it on other videos where I do snacku, but I'm really big into savory snacks more so than sweet snacks Although that yuzu cake thing was awesome Um, so this is kind of like in my wheelhouse. Really like that. Let me set that back there Mm. Mm. Okay Drink of water Sorry, I put it on the table so it might kind of like shake things a little bit. I apologize up front for that Okay, um What is this? What is this? This could be Okay, I think it might be a wasabi wafer. It has wasabi on it. So You can see oh this way Sorry, my cat's coming down the stairs. I'm waiting for her to start getting all up in my business Um All right, I think this is what's wasabi wafer. Yes, it is. Okay. So now I'll read what it is So I verify These airy wafer cookies filled with this wasabi white chocolate come from a snowy mountainous region in shinano, japan All the ingredients from the rice to the wasabi to the cocoa butter are from local farms in the area cool I like it So it literally looks like you know what people in the united states just know is kind of like wafer cookies You see although you can see it's green filling in there wasabi I don't really smell the wasabi it just smells like sugary and vanilla Yeah, it smells like a wafer cookie okay, so Hmm So the wasabi is in there, but it's super super super light It mainly does just taste like a nice wafer cookie. It's sugary. It's vanilla a lot of vanilla actually And then you just get like the slightest little tinge of like wasabi flavor and heat on the end. So Hmm interesting It's good um, although There's not a ton of wasabi to it So it's kind of more of like a novelty thing. I think it's not something I would seek out because I'd probably just be like, oh, I'll just get like a regular vanilla wafer cookie. It's kind of more of my But it's interesting They have that little bit of lingering wasabi heat that goes on Hmm That's interesting. I like that I don't love it like it. Okay next Jaga bee That's another wasabi thing I guess I'll have to see Okay, sorry my cat's yelling in the background. Remember what I was saying about dogs? Well my cat's yelling so proves me wrong. I'm what I was saying. So jaga bee. I don't know I'm gonna have to open this up first to figure out What exactly it is so I can match it up on The key that I have here Okay, I do like that. They have a lot of like tear spots on here Okay, so these are Yeah, okay Wasabi soy jaga bee is what it's called. I'm gonna read these Chloe Stop She likes attention She's always looking for attention the widely popular baked potato stick Flavored with wasabi and soy sauce. I like the sound of that So it should be nice and savory. I mean, it just looks like a Like hand cut french fry that you get in the united states What does it smell like? Hey, I can smell the soy coming off it. I can't really smell wasabi. It smells a little bit salty Very crunchy Okay, I get the wasabi immediately It's coated in wasabi So you get the heat almost immediately along with like a nice soy sauce Like a tangy soy sauce and then a um And then a saltiness And then you start tasting the potato that's more of like a lingering flavor on there It is good I mean based off what it is it's like a French a cold french fry But crispy still With wasabi coating and soy sauce and a little bit of salt. Does that sound good? I think it sounds good. It's nice Yeah, that's good. It has like a potato chip after flavor That was wasabi when it hits it hits immediately And then it kind of like dissipates a little bit quick and then goes to the soy sauce and the saltiness It's really good I was kind of like about that when I saw it, but that's really tasty Hmm. I like that. That's that's surprising Hmm Okay Moving on What do we have here? Let me see I'm gonna move some of this stuff that I've already tried. It's not a whole lot of extras in here I know that is an extra. Anyway, um, so this next thing is another I think this is a yuzu awasa cookie I'll show it to you first and then I'll verify you can see the yuzu picture on there It's like just like fold it up I'm like this Kind of paper or deal Yeah, it's like in a little pouch Isn't that cool? That's cool Okay, so yeah, that's what this is. So A simple cookie from a small shop in Kyoto a delicate butter cookie sandwich Filled with locally made white bean honey and yuzu citrus It's slightly sweet a little bit tart and buttery on one bite These cookies are a regional specialty and only found in Kyoto As you can see it's pretty soft like it's the the cookie portions are very thin, but it's very soft Hmm Yep, it's soft Hmm. Yeah, I get a lot of the yuzu flavor Kind of like a touch of lemon but a lot of orange to it Hmm Oh It is a little bit tough type jelly where the one the like bun thing that I had had a jelly that's much softer This is a little bit tougher like more jelly like You can kind of see in there It takes a little extra chewing, but yeah, it's definitely really buttery. It's not crazy sugary And really nice citrusy yuzu flavor I like that there's a slight vanilla in there too, which Not complaining. I enjoy that flavor. That's good. That is good So far, I haven't had any that I dislike yet The wafer is probably the least favorite of mine, but it's all good thus far I'm pretty surprised pretty happy because like I said going in this is like wasabi and yuzu. I was like yuzu easy I'll like it wasabi Okay All right, so did that Ha ha. All right, here we go. This would be some senpai People who have watched enough of my unboxing of this know that I am a senpai fan so Senpai right here. This is the peppery rice cracker made with yuzu salt and black pepper from Oita prefecture. It's a yuzu koshio senpai is what it's called All right, let's It's very thin very very thin. So it's gonna be really brittle. So most likely it means crumbs Plenty of crumbs. I'm gonna have to hold my hand below it and you can see it's like very thin very very thin Okay, I smell like seaweed. I taste seaweed. I taste seaweeding. It's very thin It's just like eating A super thin rice cake like that's the texture. That's the crunch and it has a little bit of a flavor or like that I taste a lot of seaweed to be honest. This supposed to be yuzu. I'm tasting yuzu This is like salty and seaweed It is also possible that because I've been eating a few things that have a lot of yuzu flavor to it That my tongue Will only perceive a large amount of yuzu flavor Like that's actually a thing like when you've had a bunch of a flavor If you have something that's a little more subtle with that flavor, it's harder to pick up So that could be what's going on But that seaweed like that oceanic quality and that is very very strong. It comes off as fishy So i'm not huge on that one. That's actually the first one. I'm like Not a big fan, but A lot of the other one's really good. So good track record Next Put that aside Okay, something kind of similar Actually, um, we're dropping things into the couch cushion All right, so this looks similar, right? And I think it kind of will be although I think this one might be wasabi But I will it looks similar. It's just a little fatter than the other one. Uh, this yes, okay. So this is a wasabi sent by Dio is one of the largest wasabi farms in japan producing over 400 000 wasabi plants a year The farm was founded in 1915 and has been making these wasabi rice crackers Since the very beginning next time you're in japan visit their farm and try the famous wasabi ice cream Oh, I would try wasabi ice cream Not sure I'd be huge on it because I don't know. I just don't see how like Something like that goes with Ice cream, but I would try it. I'm adventurous obviously. Okay, so Pretty thick. It's like a much thicker rice cake I don't think I I smell a slight slight wasabi. Uh, a little bit of soy sauce on there Whoa Wow, okay The wasabi really kicks you in the mouth um Oh where I bit down like my lips came down around it And it burned my lips a little bit like that's how strong the wasabi powder is on the outside Uh, it's wasabi. It's salty. It's soy sauce very crunchy rice cakey There's a significant wasabi kick though kind of like goes into your sinuses a little bit It doesn't quite clear them out, but Kind of refreshes your uh, your nostrils a little bit um That's strong really really kicks in taste buds Um for people who are big on wasabi. This is a good one I'd recommend this For me, I'm not gonna want to have a lot of it because like I like wasabi flavor but It has to be in the right setting, you know, like usually with sushi with something That's like super heavy and has a lot of other flavors to combat it This doesn't really have a ton of flavors to combat with the wasabi, but That's a mistake. It's like pure pure like wasabi covering Oh Man, that's raw It's not bad though. It all just comes down to What is your comfort level with wasabi? How much wasabi can you withstand at one time? And that'll dictate whether you're good with that or not. So Keep that in mind. Okay. So the next thing is I think the rest of the stuff is, you know, oh, there is another usey thing But a lot of it's wasabi related So this one I'm guessing I'm not gonna really like because I don't really like stuff like this typically Now this wasabi seaweed So I'm really hit or miss with like seaweed snacks. I've had some good ones before But I've had some that I'm just not really big on Depends on how like oceanic it tastes like how fishy is it? So we'll see dried wasabi bits and seaweed salt are sandwiched between sheets of nori seaweed from the Arake sea and then carefully roasted for a deliciously healthy snack And I'm sure it's healthy. It's you know, basically veggies It looks like this is resealable too Aha, it is that's smart. I like packaging like that. You can see it's resealable It's got the like ziploc thing in there. I know it's not actually ziploc because that's Brand name, but you know what I'm talking about. Okay. So literally piece of seaweed There you go. Just a piece of seaweed Smells like seaweed. It doesn't smell crazy fishy Very vegetal though. I don't smell wasabi I do taste the wasabi um So it starts off a little bit fishy And then you start tasting the wasabi and then you get a good saltiness on there And I feel like the wasabi helps in masking The fishiness of the seaweed, which is good. Let me try another one. Yeah, it's like immediately I'm tasting the seaweed I'm starting to get a bit of a fishiness that's building up on my tongue And then the wasabi steps in real quick and kind of just like Stomps it down. It's just like here's the wasabi flavor and here's the saltiness That's good I like the way this is playing out on my tongue That's better than I expected. I'm down with it. All right That's good. They have two more things. You have two One yuzu one wasabi left I'm gonna save the yuzu one for last because it's a hard candy. So This is the one I I'm most I was most afraid of In the box. I was like, I don't I don't know how this is gonna be It's a wasabi kitkat Now I know these things are kind of like all the rage because it's like it's such a novelty things We have kitkats in the united states and people are always like, oh, there are all these crazy flavors in japan of these kitkats Which is true And i've had some other ones before but the wasabi always just sounded to me like I just don't see how that could be any good It legit is green Okay, so i'm just gonna Break it. Yeah, you have to cover them up That is how I do it So it's green but it's like a Very light green. It's just like a light mint color It smells like white chocolate I don't smell wasabi. I smell white chocolate. It tastes like white chocolate No, no Okay So I don't really taste wasabi in this there is a little bit of a lingering heat from the wasabi on the end So I guess I did it just a little bit, but it mainly just tastes like vanilla-y white chocolate That's pretty much all it tastes like actually tastes good but For what they're going for like here's wasabi kitkat You could feed that to someone blindfolded and be like, what is that? They wouldn't pick out the wasabi really They used to be like, oh, there's kind of an interesting slight heat at the end Wouldn't get it definitely get the white chocolate Yeah Actually, you know what after that second bite After I kind of let after you know, I chewed up that second bite and there was a little residual white chocolate in there I did slightly start to taste some wasabi the kind of coat in my mouth It's very very slight though People can handle that So honestly, I think it's good in this instance Because more wasabi with this could just end up being very off-putting and just totally not work So the fact that it's a very low level people can still eat this So it's kind of good And then I guess the last thing is this it's a yuzu candy Check it out It's not the special one. It's just I mean it looks like a little like lemon sugar thing Uh a candy made in small batches by shop Deep by shop Deep sounds weird a candy made in small batches by shop deep in the mountain of yugo japan It's made with yuzu from a local co-op farm and water from the nearby mountain springs That's cool. I'm gonna drink some water Oh, plus I didn't read you the thing about the wasabi kick hat Let me do this then I'll read the little bit about the wasabi kick hat I assume it's not gonna be anything too crazy So here you go A little closer look just like a yellow candy Yeah Mmm, it tastes like yuzu So actually up until this box I wasn't super familiar with the flavor of yuzu. I knew it was a citrusy thing I'd had it in a few things before But not to a point where it was really showcased so you can really taste the complexity of the actual yuzu itself Now that i'm having it it's a really nice vibrant Citrus flavor like I was saying like it's a little touch of lemon and a lot of orange to it Um kind of like mixed together. It's a really nice flavor I like yuzu quite a bit. I don't feel good. It was just like sugary yuzu pretty much it Um, I'll read you the thing about the wasabi kick hat now The infamous wasabi kick hat made in collaboration with the famous wasabi shop Tamaru Tamaruya hunting In shizuka, japan, uh, which is the capital of wasabi apparently Tamaru uh First opened in 1889 is a small pickle stand in a train station But quickly grew after the store started to sell wasabi products Now they are one of the largest wasabi shops in the country Kind of interesting information there Yep, and that's all the stuff. Um I'm gonna take this out of my mouth right now And finish it later so I can feel like I can properly talk because when I'm trying to talk and there's like extra saliva being created in my Mouth it does not go well Okay, so Insummation What are some of my favorite things? All the yuzu stuff I was quite happy with that yuzu cake to jog your memory this yuzu cake right here Really good Really good that the yuzu jelly in there is just magical. I love love love that Surprised with the wasabi Kit Kat. What a low level it is, but you can still taste it a little bit um, it's smart that Yeah, the nori was wasabi Little cracker mini senpai type things those are really good as are the wasabi soy jaga bee Those things the potato sticks those are really good. I'm gonna enjoy eating those surprised with the wasabi seaweed Yeah, and the yuzu the hard yuzu candy This is good, man. What am I gonna enjoy eating the most? finishing the yuzu cake for sure that yuzu cake is awesome And eating those potato sticks those potato sticks are really really really really tasty and then these things These the little wasabi things Those are my top three. I'd say that I just named right there. Those would be my top three. That's awesome um, so I think I was most worried about this snacku and I think This is one of the better snackus that I've had so I'm very happy with it Snacku shigeki at snacku doing a great job curating these very very good stuff. I'm excited to uh Continue to eat this and I'm also excited to share this with my wife because I always make her taste stuff after I've opened the box and she's always like, I don't know if I'm gonna like this Um, but there's definitely some stuff. I think she's going to Find really good and some stuff.
