The Sakuraco boxes are a lot of fun
The Sakuraco boxes are a lot of fun. They hold all kinds of snacks and treats and even some tableware. If you love Japan, this is a great gift. Some snacks aren't for vegetarians and many aren't for vegans. As a vegetarian the past two boxes have been ok and good. But I wouldn't recommend them for vegans.
It's not cheap but it's a wonderful edible gift. To yourself or others. 😉
The brown box from the post is so…
The brown box from the post is so deceiving until you open to find out what's inside. It's like my birthday everyday! After being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I find that there are so many beautiful things that are made by these special artisans that Sakuro represents. Such a Gem. February box urged me to jump on a plane and fly to Kyoto but unfortunately I have to undergo Radiotherapy treatment for my cancer. The box is also so elegantly beautiful. Thank you.
Japan fans will love this!
The food you get is delicious and there's something for everyone. The booklets are helpful and informative. When one of my boxes went undeliverable, they replaced it with the next month's box. It was great!

Good quality of snacks
Amazing collection of treats
I got this subscription box as a gift. The first box was mediocre, but this valentine's day edition is amazing. The quality, te diversity, the taste all speaks about the effort the company puts into this product. Really great value. Add on, I live the booklet with all the details of each product in the box and a bit of Japan's culture.
2nd box and it’s amazing
Just received my second box and really looking forward to trying everything in it. The price point is perfect for everything you receive in the box. The quality is fantastic and I really like the magazine that not only explains what is included and how to prepare it if necessary but also the traditions, culture and supplier stories. The additional tea subscription is also well worth it.

"Priority shipping" and it took over 30 faken days overall to arrive.
Multiple expired products due to their own incompetence with the slow shipping, attempted to offer me a faken credit on their site so I could give them even more money?? then when I disputed via paypal, they kept asking me to send the expired products back in order to refund me (which I already threw away and is probably somewhere on the atlantic ocean). Paypal decided on their favour because I did not provide them with the tracking #, what a sh1etty joke of a company.
FaKU YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU GO BANKRUPT OR MASS CHARGEBACKED.

I loved how everything was so neatly arranged! It’s such an elegant package
I loved how everything was so neatly placed in the box! The snacks tasted so lovely and fresh! This was given to me as a gift and I couldn’t be happier! My box even came with a beautiful plate!! I was so surprised!😍
A taste of Japan!
We vacationed in Japan in November 25 and loved it! My husband for Christmas got me a 6 month subscription to Sakuraco. I have received the January and the February box so far. We have enjoyed all the products and teas we have received. So far my favorite is the Milk Chocolate Strawberries and also the Custard Taiyaki. I enjoy tea so he also got the tea subscription for me! Until our next trip to Japan, I look forward to receiving my monthly boxes🤗
The pairings were fantastic
The pairings were fantastic, the flavors top notch, and I loved the little plate
Won't be getting any more
This box definitely cemented my decision not to continue the subscription. My daughter explained the one treat to me so adding 1 star but the paper calendar craft felt very cheap for what I pay. I was charged at the beginning of the month and box barely arrived by the end of the month. For me value was not there. First box had a moldy strawberry according to my daughter who I gave the item too.

I was really impressed by Sakura
I was really impressed by Sakura, both with the packaging and the combination of treats. Since it was my first box for Valentine's Day, I received a lot of themed items that were very cute and unique. Besides the snacks and accessories, I was also struck by the video they sent, where they thanked me for the purchase and welcomed me to the family. They also showed how the accessories are created step by step, and whether the food is vegetarian or vegan and how it's prepared. It's very nice, and I'm very satisfied with my first box.
New Year’s Nostalgia!
Loved everything in the January box! It was so nostalgic with the New Year’s goodies! There were items in there I haven’t had since I lived there 49 years ago!
Not too thrilled with the “non food” item this month.
Love Japan forever !
First box arrived and what wonderful discoveries! The box itself is already quite elegant.
The products are of very high quality. I can't wait to receive the second box.
January Box is Disappointing
This January box was not as good as previous boxes. It came and the contents were a bit smashed and broken. Usually there is a nice little houseware item this time a lame, cheap piece of cardboard calendar that’s too small to even be useful. I’m disappointed this month.

Beware - Subscription Scam
We had a 12-month plan and received the boxes with no problem. However, at the end of the 12-month plan we were charged with no notice for another 12-month plan. We contacted the company and canceled our plan the same day we received the auto-subscription notice. We did not approve this and were not made aware that this was an auto-subscription. As this time, this has still not been resolved.

Absolutely wonderfull
They keep you updated about your box really well. The snacks are amazing and the china they add at times is exceptional. The booklet they add with info also contains info about any allergies but you can't scan for that info beforehand so be aware of that.
A little bit of everything
I love how they give you a small description of everything.
