Sakuraco surprise box January

Last week I received my second Sakura box, and what's inside is a super fun surprise. It includes a nice information booklet about all the products and how they're made, also information about Japanese culture. All the products are delicious. It makes me even more curious about what life is like in Japan. 🇯🇵
Kind regards from snowy Netherlands🇳🇱

4.5 stars!

Rating it 4.5 stars because there was an issue with the delivery. Other than that, this is truly a unique gift and a wonderful way to learn about the Japanese culture. There is so much detail that was put into this box, it’s a great experience to enjoy all the goodies.

Authentic and High quality

I love these Japanese snacks that teach about the origins and the culture. I like that a lot of it is traditional, but it also includes the modern types as well. It's a great way to enjoy Japanese snacks and learn new things about Japanese food and culture. Packaging and graphics are such great quality and the booklet that it comes with to explain what some of the snacks are is so exciting and fun.

Haven't received anything after 2 months and 3 unauthorized additional charges to credit card

They have made three unauthorized charges to my credit card, totalling more than a month's mortgage payment. I have still not received a single thing from this company, after the 3 charges that I did not authorize. I also have not received the original box that I did actually authorize payment for (over 3 months ago!!) I had to cancel my credit card and apply for a different one in order to prevent any further fraudulent charges.

Loved the variety

Loved the variety. Everything is so unique. Being in Australia it is hard to find these here otherwise. I couldn’t find a fault. Looking forward to subscribe to this

Allow people refunds if they cancel…

Allow people refunds if they cancel within minutes of renewal. No renew notifications sent, swear I canceled right after purchase to avoid this situation. Working with paypal to get this charge canceled so it doesn't pull from my bank, hopefully PayPal is helpful as the company is not. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

A Great Box For Adults

Sakuraco is a consistently wonderful monthly box of treats! When our kids were still in the home we got Tokyo Treat, but now that we’re empty nesters we were delighted that we could received treats geared more toward adults! It’s something I look forward to receiving every month!

A wonderfully curated box - always a surprise!

I subscribed for a whole year and each box was such a treat for me and my family. We looked forward to receiving and opening it as a monthly surprise and enjoying the tastes of Japan from different seasons. I especially loved reading about the different types of snacks, how they are made and the heritage of the ones who produced it. Every box is nicely packed and just a beautiful sight to look forward to!

Enjoyable tea experience with tasty snacks. Purchased the tea add on for an extra $10 per box. I subscribed to the three month box. I’ve subscribed before in the past and always loved these monthly boxes. Re subscribed after a 2 year hiatus.

The Sakuraco snack boxes were


The Sakuraco snack boxes were, hands down, my favorite gift to receive this year. After recently spending three weeks traveling through different areas of Japan, this box instantly transported me back. It brought up vivid memories of sensations, tastes, and smells that took me right back to that journey, one I already plan to repeat.

I love how thoughtfully each snack is chosen for every box, along with the beautifully written descriptions of the snacks, the culture, and the different regions of Japan. It truly feels like being back in Japan again, rediscovering each area through these carefully curated boxes. Knowing that I’ll be receiving another box for the next six months brings so much joy to my soul. So grateful for receiving this gift for Christmas.

Sweet suprise

I got this snack box as a present and I have to say that it was a such a nice suprise! I liked how to box contained a lot of interesting products and I believe that everyone can find something in the box that suits their preferences as there were both sweet and salty snacks in it. While not all of the snacks fit to my taste, there was a lot of good information about the products and their origins which I appreciated. Based on this experience I think I could order a similar box myself in the future.
