Unboxing the TokyoTreat Japanese snack box
It’s been a long time since I opened a box that truly surprised me, and this month’s TokyoTreat Japanese snack box did not disappoint! The moment it arrived, the bright purple-and-orange Halloween-themed packaging with cute, spooky illustrations instantly caught my eye. Even though October 31 was still weeks away, I felt as if I had already stepped into the festive, Halloween-lit streets of Tokyo.
When I opened the lid, my first thought was: “This is way too cute!” Not only was the box overflowing with snacks, but it also included a special Halloween postcard. The photo looked like Shibuya on Halloween night—crowds filling the streets, everyone in costume, and the festive energy practically spilling out. On the front, it read “Happy Halloween from Tokyo!” in handwritten-style lettering. On the back, there was even a note from TokyoTreat’s CEO, Ayumi. Sure, it was printed, but it still felt personal and warm—like a thoughtful gift from a friend in Japan. This little postcard surprise added so much heart to the whole unboxing experience.
Halloween-themed Japanese snacks
Inside, almost every snack followed the Halloween theme. From pumpkin-inspired treats to snacks with spooky-cute packaging, the mix of sweet and savory options made each item a delight to discover. Some were even ones I had never seen in Japanese stores before, making the experience feel like surprise after surprise.
It was a good reminder that life needs these small indulgences—tiny surprises that brighten your day and make you feel like you’re spoiling yourself (because you deserve it)!
My top 3 favorite snacks from the TokyoTreat box
Spooky Spicy Ramen
I couldn’t believe it when I saw instant ramen inside the snack box! This one was from Korean brand Samyang: “Spooky Spicy Ramen with Rich Beef Flavour.” The broth was bold, flavorful, and seriously spicy—the perfect kick for someone who loves heat.
Pro tip: Add chopped scallions and crack in an egg! It makes the ramen even more delicious and satisfying.
Boo! Berry Pie Bites
These bite-sized biscuits are already popular in Japan, but this was my first time trying the cheese & blueberry flavor. The combination was amazing: rich, savory cheese followed by the gentle sweetness of blueberry. I couldn’t stop at just one…or ten!
Apple Pie KitKats
KitKat is a legend in the Japanese snack world, famous for its endless seasonal flavors. This Apple Pie KitKat was pure autumn comfort—sweet apple notes with a cozy hint of cinnamon, wrapped in crunchy chocolate wafers. It tasted like fall in a single bite.
Final thoughts: Is TokyoTreat worth it?
Of course, the box had plenty of other unique snacks, but I’ll leave those for you to discover yourself.
Overall, this month’s TokyoTreat box was packed with surprises from start to finish. From the charming Halloween packaging to the thoughtful postcard and the wide variety of limited-edition Japanese snacks, everything about it felt like receiving a care package from a friend in Japan.
If you love trying seasonal Japanese snacks, especially limited-edition flavors like Japanese KitKats or spicy ramen, then TokyoTreat is absolutely worth it. Opening this box felt just like bringing Tokyo’s Halloween spirit straight into my home, and I can’t wait to see what’s inside the next one!
