Tokyo Treat Box, Ume Chips Anyone?

by Maria Angeles

Some of the most memorable hotel experiences in Tokyo.

It’s time to mix it up! The Tokyo Treat Summer Box has arrived.

Since I haven’t made my way to Japan yet, I decided to give the #TokyoTreat box a try so I can at least enjoy the culture through fun snacks. The summer box is a true representation of Japanese pop culture.

As I enjoyed eating my way through the box, I enjoyed reading about some of the unique hotel stays in Tokyo. Godzilla-themed hotel anyone? I definitely have Capsule Hotel on my list to try at least one night. I think Henn na Hotel, fully staffed with “friendly and professional robot staff,” sounds interesting!

Tokyo Treat

Some of the most memorable hotel experiences in Tokyo.

This season’s box featured a solid variety of goodies, from savory to sweet. So, what’s in the summer box? Feel free to skip to the unboxing video below!

  • Koikaya Ume Chips: The unexpected champion for my palette, crisp and light chips had a lightly pickled flavor. As a connoisseur of chips, this is by far my favorite.
  • Monjayaki Squid Chips: Surprisingly yummy! As you may recall, squid-flavored things always cause me to stop a minute, but I actually enjoyed these.
  • Chee-Zack: Such light cheesy wafer.
  • Pai no Mi Mini Pies – Peach Tart: The perfect puffy dessert filled with a light peach-flavored white cholate cream.
  • Mini Gummies: Have you noticed how gummies have different textures in different counties? These had such vibrant fruit flavors.
  • Melon Cream Soda: I recommend you put this in the fridge and enjoy it once it is super cold. Otherwise, it won’t be the same experience.
  • KitKat – Milk Tea flavor: If you enjoy milk tea boba, you’ll enjoy this flavor.
  • Tokyo Shoyu Ramen: Sid got into this while I was away but if you enjoy a quick homemade version of ramen, you’ll enjoy this!
  • Hello Kitty Candy Mints: I still have some lying around the house, definitely going to go to my local Japanese grocery store.
  • Castella Donut: I ate this so fast with a cup of coffee. The “mildly sweet and cake-style donut.”
  • Pokemon Chocolate Marshmallow: Okay,  well, this is a super cute presentation of such a playful, light chocolate-cream-filled treat.
  • Neko Banana Dorayaki: A very unique treat filled with banana-flavored cream.
  • Mini Choco Chip Cookies: So crisp and the right amount of cholate-ly goodness.
  • Jumbo DIY Sauce Senbei: There’s a BBQ sauce that came with these I did not expect.
