After visiting Japan many times in the past decade, Justin and I experience FOMO (fear of missing out) whenever we see a limited-edition seasonal snack on social media. While we would love to hop on a plane and take a flight to Japan on a whim, we unfortunately cannot.
TokyoTreat, a monthly Japanese snack box subscription filled with curated seasonal snacks, is just the answer. Subscribers receive 12+ snacks from popular brands, such as KitKat Pocky, potato chips, rice crackers, chocolates, teas, and more. The box is sent directly to the home or preferred delivery address, so it’s super convenient.
We were familiar with TokyoTreat as we’ve tried the sister snack box, Sakuraco, in 2022. Read our review of Sakuraco subscription box here.
TokyoTreat gifted us the September 2026 “Moon Fest Celebration” to celebrate Japan’s Tsukimi (Moon Viewing Festival). It’s a fun theme as the celebration revolves around the moon and rabbits. The Japanese folklore says that the moon’s shadow looks like a rabbit pounding mochi (a sweet Japanese rice cake).
If you’re debating whether to try the TokyoTreat subscription box, we’ll share more about the snacks we received and our overall experience, including the shipping.

What Is Included in the Box
The snacks arrive in a thick cardboard box with adorable moon-and-rabbit decorations for the “Moon Fest Celebration” theme.

When we opened the box, we saw a pamphlet, a postcard, and snacks underneath the pamphlet.

The pamphlet has a brief history about the Moon Festival Celebration and includes photos of all the snacks in the box.
The best part about the pamphlet is that each snack has a breakdown of dietary restrictions, such as “common allergens,” “may contain traces of,” and “suitable for vegetarians.
Unfortunately, the snacks’ full ingredients list are not included in the pamphlet due to limited space. So you’ll need to translate the ingredients list with your phone’s translation app.

We received 14 snacks in the box:

We were excited to try the 14 snacks!
Snacks Verdict
We didn’t have a chance to try all the snacks, but here are the ones that we tried and our taste test review:
Earl grey pound cake: The moist pound cake had the ideal amount of sweetness. The earl grey flavor wasn’t overpowering. We wanted more and wished it was a larger size.
Moon rice crackers (2 pieces): We received two rice crackers in the package. The soy sauce flavor gave the rice crackers a nice “umami” flavor. There was a crunch to the rice crackers, so be careful if you have teeth or jaw problems.
Tsukimi monaka (2 pack): We’ve had red monaka in matcha parfaits, so we were surprised to see this monaka had a layer of red bean and mochi. The wafer was on the softer side. Yet the mochi layer gave the monaka a slightly chewy texture.
Covered chocolate roll: We’ve seen this popular snack around candy shops in Japan but never tried it. It was a rice roll (similar to an eggroll shape) covered with chocolate. It wasn’t my taste, but I’m glad I tried it.
A box of Lotte Sasha meshed strawberry chocolate: We loved the individually wrapped strawberry chocolate. They were bite-sized and the perfect amount of sweetness. Each box includes 15 pieces.
Hi-Chew candy – plum flavor: Hi-Chews are a staple in our household, especially the apple flavor. These plum flavor candy are in a ball form instead of the typical rectangle. They were easy to chew, almost gummy like, and didn’t leave a sticky residue compared to the rectangular ones. The plum flavor isn’t the same as the salted plum, so this one in the candy has a subtle sweetness.
A moon harvest cookie with rabbit and moon print: This was a sugar cookie with the printed rabbit and moon. Unfortunately, the cookie broke upon deliver. We were disappointed with this snack as the flavor wasn’t anything special.
A box of sweet potato wafer rolls: This snack is great for sweet potato fans. The sweet potato flavor stood out in each bite. Each box had two individual packets so we didn’t need to commit to one full box.
Pricing
You can choose monthly, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. Check out the subscription pricing here.
At the time of publishing, the pricing is:
- Monthly: $37.50 USD/month
- 3 months: $35.50 USD/month ($106.50 USD)
- 6 months: $33.50 USD/month ($201.00 USD total)
- 12 months: $32.50 USD/month ($390.00 USD total)
The best value is the 12 month plan. We know 1 year can be a huge commitment, so we recommend starting out with one month or even 3 months to try it out.
Shipping
Shipping is not included in the monthly subscription cost and will vary depending on your shipping location. We recommend checking out the TokyoTreat FAQ Shipping for more information.
Our shipping experience went smoothly. After TokyoTreat reached out, we had the box shipped to our apartment in Taichung, Taiwan, and didn’t have any issues with delivery. The box arrived in a few days, so delivery was quick. Our apartment management team gave us the box on arrival.
It was such a relief since it was a different experience when we lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and received the Sakuraco subscription box in 2022. I had to send my passport and an invoice to DHL before it was released for delivery, and that process took several days. Luckily, none of the snacks melted on arrival.
Is the TokyoTreat Box Worth It?
If you don’t have access to Japanese snacks and want a convenient way to get these snacks, then the subscription is worth the price. We think the subscription and shipping cost is fair, as we know it takes time to curate products monthly.
You get a chance to try new and unique snacks every month without having to visit an Asian supermarket or fly to Japan.
Plus, there is a nice balance of sweet and savory snacks. Although we weren’t sure why there were two potato snacks included as they seemed similar.
We also like how the snacks are vegetarian-friendly. I don’t eat meat, so I appreciate this small detail from the curating team.
Final Thoughts
Thank you, TokyoTreat, for letting us try the Moon Fest Celebration Box!
We hope you consider trying the TokyoTreat subscription box next month or sometime in the future. We think it’s a fantastic way to try new Japanese snacks and get a taste of Japan every month.
