SHOGUN CANDY Box Japanese Snacks & Candy 30 Pieces Variety Dagashi Assortment

There was a wide variety and a bunch of snacks to taste! It was fun to open and definitely a good value. The size was reasonable and fun!

Short version: I received all 30 pieces in the box with some repetition. 4.5 stars.Long version: I was looking for a snack box out of curiosity because a few of my friends were talking about it. This specific box is rather on the small size (about 8 inches across), but it was completely filled with goodies, ranging from about 10 bigger pieces (about the size of a chocolate chip cookie) to about 20 smaller ones (a piece of candy). These are something you would find at a gas station store or at the checkout line. I say they are great for testing out new products without feeling guilty of throwing some away, if their tastes are not for you. From the looks of them, some are sweet and some are savory. There is a paper insert with some info about the snacks, a trading card, and a sticker. There is also a QR code to download an AR app to show an animation when opening the box, but I have not personally tried it. All in all, a pretty good purchase for the different tastes and the experience.

THE BEST SNACK BOX EVER

Great quality and variety. And fast delivery. And and as a card collector, the card was an awesome touch and Idea. Will be buying more soon

The smallest box I've ever seen, the sizes of the candy bags are laughable. It feels like 1 or 2 pieces of candy in each bag. They sell these in Japan for 25¢ each candy.....Most of the candy bags are1- 2 inches tall. This does not look or feel like $25 worth. I definitely feel scammed, I don't recommend it as a main gift.

From the picture, what I got was pretty darn close to what is shown. The contents are not exact, but they were close enough. I recognized some of the stuff before I bought it because I used to raid the kid's section at our local Asian market (it closed :*( ). Every item is an individually wrapped single serving ("penny candy") of various wafers, crackers, cookies, jellies, fruit candies, gummies, chocolate-covered doodads, lollipops, small pieces of gum & gumballs, and a couple unidentifiable things. What I liked about this box was it really was a nice assortment. Some things were sweet, some salty, and some both. There were no cakes or hard candy (other than 2 lollipops).The chocolate stuff was excellent. Even the cheap stuff in Japan still has a real quality taste, unlike in the US where a lot of cheap chocolate candies or wafers are made with waxy, barely chocolate-tasting gunk. There were a few puffed corn tubes (think one giant cheeto) with powdered cheese on them, not sure what they're called but I have always liked them. There was one thing though, it was like a sweet cookie with strong powdered cheese on it, and it kind of took me by surprise. It was very weird but I loved it. There was a cool "jelly stick" that was grape, kind of like a gummy floating in grape juice. I got a kick out of that one. There was a box of cereal flakes with a very happy cartoon corn cob on the package, covered in delicious chocolate. I'm trying to go from memory because almost everything is gone. There was a coke-flavored gummy that was awesome. Lots of air-puffed wafers, some with sweet and some savory. There were little fish on a bag of puffs, I know they're "fish flavored" but the fish & shrimp stuff is not a strong flavor & they're basically like puffed chips. There was a soda-flavored lollipop you could dip in powder, a hard wafer candy like a sweet-tart, a few small single pieces of gum & gumballs, and a bit of green apple taffy. I made a day of it and ate the leftovers the next day. The fun part was so many different flavors.There were 2 things I didn't like. One looked like a deflated fruit about the size of an olive, the other looked like the same fruit but whole. It smelled okay and I gave it a try, but holy crap it was SALTY. Like, mega-salty. It also had a preserved tang I didn't like it at all. I now believe them to be tiny preserved, salted plums called "kishu umeboshi." Bleagh! Not my thing, but still fun to learn about.For 12 bucks it was a lot of fun. The package came very quickly (only a few days!) and all the stuff was fresh and well within the dates on the package. They were protected well but unfortunately a lot of the crackers and cookies were all broken up. I imagine this happened before they were shipped, not a big deal but just making note of it. I liked 98% of what was in there, and it seemed like there was an effort to make sure it was an interesting assortment. I would definitely buy this one again.

I recently purchased this candy Box, and it has been a delightful treat! If you're a fan of Japanese snacks or just want to try something different, this assortment is a perfect choice. The box contains a fun and diverse mix of sweet, salty, and savory treats, representing a variety of popular Japanese candies and snacks. One of the highlights for me was the wide range of textures and flavors. From crunchy snacks like shrimp chips and sweet potato crisps to chewy candies and tangy gummies, there's something for everyone. I especially loved the Pocky sticks, and the tiny fruit-flavored gummies! The packaging is also a nice touch—everything comes individually wrapped, which keeps it fresh and convenient for sharing. It’s a great option for those looking to experience authentic Japanese flavors without having to purchase multiple individual items. While some of the flavors may be unfamiliar to people who haven't tried Japanese snacks before, it’s part of the fun! A few items had unusual tastes, but that’s what makes this variety pack so exciting. The portion sizes are perfect for sampling, and the value for the price is fantastic. Overall, I highly recommend the SHOGUN CANDY Box for anyone interested in trying Japanese candy and snacks. It’s a fun, affordable way to enjoy a wide variety of flavors from Japan!

I rated this item as 1 star but honestly it barely deserves that. I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift, when i got it i noticed that the box is significantly smaller than advertised, not even as big as a standard sheet of office paper. The box does not contain ANY full sized snacks and are all single serving. I didn’t even receive all 30 candies (25) and the quality of the snacks that i did receive were poor to say the least. Atleast 6 of these “candies” were cheaply made wax gum, and too many cheep hard candies, i could easily find better quality at dollar tree… the fish jerky has the consistency of a boiled tire and smelled like the ocean after a storm. I have had real japanese snacks before, this is not it. The only decent item in here was the wafer Taiyaki (fish, cake) which was, i admit, not bad. Overall definitely not worth the nearly 30 bucks it’s priced at, please save your money and your time, buy something else. (Ps. I put a mnt dew bottle in the picture for scale of how small the box is)
