However, the distinctive selling point of this brand is that it offers a wide choice of authentic delicacies. Furthermore, these items are often difficult to get outside of Japan.

What’s inside a Japanese Snacks Subscription Box?

The menu booklet includes a list of all the goodies inside, plus the usual fun competitions and giveaways. Overall, the Shogun Japanese Candy Box is the cheapest option on this list.
