Japan Candy Box ♡ Review & Giveaway | November 2018


✶✵ This post contains items gifted to me for review purposes. ✵✶

Japan Candy Box have very kindly sent me another box full of delights to review for November, and with this edition it looks like they've really outdone themselves. Do check out the giveaway at the bottom of this post if you'd like to win your own Japan Candy Box, but first let's talk about all the fun stuff in this month's edition!

Full contents:


  1. Meiji Gochi Sour Plum Gummies
  2. Kit Kat Cranberry Almond Minibar
  3. Osatsu Doki Sweet Potato Chips - Apple Pie Flavour
  4. Kanro Pure Gummy Mixed Berry Flavour
  5. Gudetama White Chocolate Bar
  6. Calbee Jagabee Osatsubee Sweet Potato Snack
  7. Bonchi Ponsuke Arare Crackers
  8. Bourbon Bit Chocolate Crunch
  9. Pine Sherbert Pero Fun Dip Lollipop
  10. Coris Plum Chewy Candy



I'm very pleased to see Gudetama, one of my favourite Sanrio characters, showing up here on a snazzy little white chocolate bar - and of course, one of the famed Japanese Kit Kats. This one is a cranberry and hazelnut flavoured Kit Kat, and I'm quite thrilled any time I get a chance to try a new Kit Kat flavour. That's what life's all about. We also have a mini chocolate bar and some plum flavoured chewy sweets in this picture. Lots of variety already.


I'm excited to see that they've included more potato snacks again this time, or should I say, sweet potato snacks. These are pretty generous sizes too, the one on the left here is apple pie flavoured. This concept blows my mind. As you can see, there's a thanksgiving theme to this edition of the box, and I think that's perhaps a little extra fun for those of us outside America who don't usually get to think about all the tasty thanksgiving foodstuffs out there.


Of course, the most tantalising part of the box for me has to be the gummies, of which there are two delicious options this time round. The Gochi sour plum gummies, and the Kanro Pure mixed berry flavoured gummies. I am a total sucker for Japanese gummies, because they always seem to taste incredible, and these are no different. The mixed berry flavoured ones have the perfect intensity of sourness to them. I am the gummy queen and I will reign for millenia. I love them.


Lastly, we have a fun little dipping sherbet lolly. And it probably wouldn't be a Japan Candy Box if we didn't have anything cola flavoured. I love the cute little cola can guy here.


All in all I think the variety of snacks here is pretty great. The potato snack/gummy/chocolate ratio is just about perfect, with the lolly acting as a nice bonus.

Which snack do you think looks the tastiest?
