Munch Your Way Around the World with These Snack Subscription Boxes
Jul 29, 2020 • Kyzia Maramara
The world may not see eye-to-eye on most things, but this much we can agree on: a life without snacks is boring. And we all know that part of learning about a country is by tasting their food and snacks definitely count. Just think of those delightful small treats you hoard for yourself when you go abroad or even local treats you munch on when you get hungry in between meals. While we can’t exactly fly out and experience these snacks while traveling right now, there are a number of subscription boxes that contain unique ones from all over the world that you can’t find even in the best grocery or supermarket aisles in our country. Here are a few ones worth subscribing to.

One of the best subscription boxes for Japanese snacks is Bokksu. First-time customers get a “Seasons of Japan” box which contains specially curated premium Japanese snacks from the country’s all four seasons. That means you get Mocchan Dango Mochi, White Strawberry, Handmade Yuzu Sake Candy, Funwari Meijin Mochi Puffs, and more. And if you don’t know what the heck those snacks were, all the more reason you should subscribe because you’re missing out on all the awesomeness!
Subscription options are available monthly, for 3 months, and annually or as low as P1,820.48 per box. After the “Seasons of Japan” box, you will receive monthly themed snack boxes lovingly handpicked by the staff.
Tokyo Treat

Where Bokksu was more traditional, Tokyo Treat leans more on the sweet and modern side of Japan’s delicious snacks. Their boxes feature Japan favorites: Pocky, Lotte snacks, KitKat variants, even rare Starbucks treats, and other classic Japanese candies. Your box will be bursting with color once it arrives at your home.
Tokyo Treat’s Premium box has subscription options for monthly, 3, 6, and 12 month options with the lowest price of P1,720.79.

Curious as to what Mexicans enjoy for snacks? MexiCrate has got you covered. Each box is an assortment of 10 to 15 Mexican candy, sweets, and snacks that will introduce you to the country’s snacking culture. A Mexican Candy Liker Box (up to 450g of candy) will cost you roughly P310 per month. The Kings Mexican Candy Box which contains 14 to 20 large snacks is roughly P1,474.97. A pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
