The cost: $12 a month + free shipping.  A portion of each purchase will be donated to UNICEF

Check it out here (Note: The October box is not available yet, but check back soon because boxes sell out fast!)

I was soooooo excited about my first OishiiBox.  I love snacks, and I love anything Japanese, so what could be better?  OishiiBox came very neatly packaged (seriously, all I did for the picture was open up the tissue paper.  It came like that) and had a typed insert naming each snack and listing the ingredients, which is super helpful.

The first thing both Mr. GGG and I noticed was the set of chopsticks.  They are well made and the flower detail is beautiful!

Koala's March Strawberry - You have no idea how excited I was to see these in the box.  Seriously, these things are the best cookies known to man.

Hello Panda Vanilla - In my opinion, Hello Panda is basically a lesser version of Koala's March, but they're still cookies and will get eaten.

Now comes new territory (and and the use of the printed list).  Trying all these new kinds of snacks is so exciting (and delicious)!

Milkita Assorted Milk Lollipop Candy - mine was pink and white and tasted EXACTLY like strawberry milk.  It was soooo good, I could eat a whole bag of those.

Unican Milkita Milk Candy - This one was similar to the milk lollipop, but was chewy and plain milk flavor.  Still delicious.

Kasugai Flower's Kiss Candy - This was a pink colored hard candy.  I'm not sure if it was actually flower flavored, but it was sweet and a little tart and very good.

Hi-Chu - This is a sleeve of individually wrapped chewy strawberry candy.  The flavor is good, and the texture is very unique.  It's very chewy, almost like gum, and it doesn't stick to your teeth at all.  Yummy!

Sonomama Cola Fusen Gum - There are 3 pieces of cola flavored gum in this package and the point is to split it with 2 of your friends, and one of you will get a sour one while the other two get delicious cola.  At first, I didn't understand the concept, and the first one I ate was the sour one and I was like "Since when is cola sour?"  But then I figured it out and I have to say I enjoyed all three, sour or not.  Unfortunately, the flavor doesn't last very long.

Pretz Roast - Oh Pretz Roast, the best snack to come into my life.  I had never heard of before this, but it's essentially Pocky without the flavored coating.  And let me tell you, it is AMAZING.  It has the crispy biscuit texture of Pocky, and is slightly sweet and buttery.  I could eat these forever.

Grape Gummy Candy - These are gumdrop shaped gummies that have a texture similar to fruit snacks, but much much more flavor.  They were very grape-y and yummy.

All in all I'm super impressed with my first OishiiBox.  For only $12 I feel like I got a solid amount of snacks and a good variety as well.  I can;t wait for next month's box!

XOXO
