October 2019 Japan Candy Box Review and Giveaway

Japan Candy Box is one of the most fun boxes out there. If you like to treat yourself to Japanese snacks and goodies, you'll love this subscription!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


Japan Candy Box sends 10 Japanese snacks and candies each month from Tokyo, including brands like Pocky, Hi-Chew, Glico, and Kit-Kat. Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $19.90 per month
  • Six Months: $113.40 every six months ($18.60 per month, save $6)
  • 12 Months: $214.80 every 12 months ($17.90 per month, save $24)
International shipping is free with every plan. Boxes ship from Japan and mine took about two weeks to get to me in the U.S.



The October box was Trick or Treat themed for Halloween. Each box comes with a colorful info packet with descriptions of each of the snacks, which is incredibly helpful if you're like me and don't speak/read Japanese.



There is usually a good assortment of sweet and savory snacks, and not everything is candy, despite the name of the box. The October snacks had an obvious Halloween theme, which was fun.


  • Shimi Halloween Choco Corn Stars: These are chocolate-coated corn puff snacks shaped like stars. I would've liked a bit more chocolate topping, but they were still pretty good.
  • Toppo Halloween Edition Biscuit Sticks: If you're familiar with Pocky, these are kind of similar. They're biscuit sticks but instead of having coating on the outside like Pocky, these had chocolate on he inside. They were really good!
  • Happy Halloween Umaibo Snack Stick: These sticks are some of my favorite Japanese snacks. It's a puffy corn snack with a savory flavor (potage soup). 
  • Koala's March Halloween Biscuits: Koala's March cookies are so good! These had Halloween-themed koala designs with chocolate inside.
  • Tohato Caramel Corn Halloween Mini Pack: These are corn puff snacks with a caramel flavor. They were a good mix of sweet and savory.
  • Black Thunder Halloween Chocolate Bar: This has "the intensity of a thunderstorm," with chocolate-coated crispy rice puff. It was really good and I wish it was bigger!
  •  Tohato Bokun Habanero Chips: These crispy potato rings are super spicy with habanero pepper flavor. Not for the faint of heart!
  • Monstro Frankenstein Gum: The gum inside is soda flavored that makes your tongue change color as you chew.
  • Pokemon Halloween Party Chocolate Snack: These chocolately treats are shaped like a Pikachu head. Mine had the Pokemon Duskull on the package.
  • Terrible Ghost Story Gum: This creepy little package has a ghost story inside that you can read as you chew on the gum; it also has a talisman inside to ward off evil spirits.
