Cutie Reviews: TokyoTreat September 19
I canā€™t believe itā€™s been like 3 months since I last did one of these o_o I mean, it does feel like itā€™s been some time- but not that long. Iā€™d blame it on Pokemon Sword, but I just got it last week so I guess I canā€™t. But it did partially have to do with why I was putting this box off, besides a little intimidation because Iā€™m still getting into the swing of things again...
Tumblr media
(Warning: melted chocolate pics inside!)
Okay, so as you guys can see for this month we got a paper, which usually only happens when there is an issue going on with an item. Well, for this month, itā€™s basically saying that they mislabeled the AJ Curry item in the booklet as something else.
The Lucky Treat for this month... do you guys remember? :3 this is the one I actually won! If you want to see the prizes in full detail, check out this blog post! The Prize for the contest features some Dragonball and Gintama figures and candy.
The booklet also features an article on flavors of the month, some basic Japanese, and Pocky!
Watermelon Soda & Melon Jelly DIY
Tumblr media
For our fruity theme this month, we got a watermelon flavored soda by Kirin. The drink only contains 15kcal per 100ml, and if I understand this right, the bottle contains 480ml? I canā€™t really read it- and I suck at math, but that doesnā€™t sound too bad right?
It smells exactly like watermelon candy/artificial watermelon, and you mostly taste that while drinking it- but the after taste brings to mind a real watermelon. When I was younger I used to love watermelon flavored things, but now that Iā€™m older I find thereā€™s only a few I still like now, so I kinda like this. But I canā€™t see myself wanting to drink the entire thing either, Iā€™ll probably share it.
Also, I like how the packaging makes it look like a watermelon.
- - - - - -
Our DIY item Iā€™ve reviewed before (Iā€™m pretty sure because I know I had it before), and because of how quick and easy it is, I didnā€™t see the point in making a whole separate post about it. Ā Ā 
Tumblr media
This is a ā€œjelly drinkā€œ, in that it starts out liquidy when you mix it, but the more you mix and let it sit, the more... slime-like it becomes. With the color and texture it feels like youā€™re making a slime rather than a snackish-candy-drink; in saying that, if youā€™re someone who doesnā€™t like slimey textured food items, you probably wonā€™t like this.
I have to admit that with its green coloring, I got a little grossed out because of what it reminded me of <_< but I assure it delicious, although light on the melon flavor. Itā€™s also fun to make and play with.
Caramel Corn & Melon Bread Cookies
Tumblr media
Next is the ever-so-popular Caramel Corn by Tohato. However, this pack is kind of special because its the last share pack I will be getting in this box! We werenā€™t supposed to get one at all, but somehow this ended up being my mystery item they included. Luckily I like caramel corn.
If youā€™re looking for a sweet, crispy snack then Iā€™d recommend trying them. Each little bag of original flavor Caramel Corn is 56kcal, and they come in several flavors for all sorts of tastes, even those you might normally see in crunchy-crispy snacks; like ice cream and soda!
My only issue with these is that sometimes theyā€™re too sweet. Iā€™m used to the normal flavor by now after eating it so many times, but whenever I try a new flavor I can usually just eat a handful before I want something else. But they always taste good :P as long as you eat them within a few days of opening- they go stale pretty quick.
- - - - - - - -
Our next item is a melon bread cookie pack by Yaokin. These seemingly plain cookies are packed with a melon flavoring; and chocolate, as I discovered after I took the picture.
The three flavors of the melon and chocolate combined with the cookie give the entire taste a light sweetness that isnā€™t overwhelming. It seems dry but the thin chocolate provides a little moistness, I didnā€™t feel like a drink was necessary after eating one.
Mint Taiyaki & Chocolate Mint Pocky
Tumblr media
Iā€™ve said this countless times but for anyone new, I love mint and chocolate mint flavors~
The taiyaki (a fish-shaped cookie or cake filled with cream) I have had before, and as you can see this one came to be very beaten up. Iā€™m not sure what happened because nothing else was mangled in the box, but I assume it could be because of the airy chocolate insides melting.
Itā€™s still very tasty though, and as you eat it, you feel a cooling mint effect in your mouth x3 each one is 89kcal. These are by the brand Meito, and they come in several flavors so I would recommend trying one if you ever see them.
- - - - - - -
Meanwhile, you can also see that the pocky suffered from being in the heat and kept in a box for so long. These werenā€™t the only thing that suffered in the box.
Anyway, these Pocky come in a 2-set pack, making them perfect for sharing or just giving to someone special or in need of a pick-me-up. The stick is chocolate, while the chocolate cream over it is mint. Per-pack, these are 165kcal.
According to the box, these are good until May, and they taste fine even in this shape. But the flavoring is very light in my opinion, so Iā€™m not sure how I feel about them.
Gudetama Custard Chocolate & Detective Conan Chocolate Bar
Tumblr media
Yeah... I think these 2 items got the ā€œheat deformationā€œ worse than anything else in the box. Surprisingly they are also both by the brand Furuta.
The gudetama bag of chocolates consists of a small chocolate filled with a softer, creamish sort of white chocolate flavored like custard. Each one is 54kcal, and as you can see pretty messy to try to eat as a result of them melting in the packaging.
Honestly, Iā€™m not really into these. They still taste the same as they did back when I opened the box and tried one, but Iā€™m not really crazy about the taste; they kind of remind me of a chocolate brand I really donā€™t like. Theyā€™re not the worst chocolate Iā€™ve tried though.
But I will say that just for the adorable Gudetama theme, they are still worth trying. Especially if you know someone who likes Gudetama.Ā 
- - - - - -Ā 
Our next item (which I know is really hard to see in this picture) is very common, because it frequently shows up in the Kawaii Box. These are the chocolate bars that are filled with wafer and chocolate cream, then coated in another layer of chocolate that resembles a log of wood. Furuta makes them for several series, like Sanrio and Disney.
This one featured a Detective Conan wrapper, but it was pretty messed up by the time I got the chocolate out, so I had to discard it. It was also strawberry-chocolate in taste, and it was very yummy! It reminds me of the Apollo strawberry chocolate, which I would also recommend trying. Theyā€™re one of the smaller, cheaper Japanese candies you can easily find on Amazon.
Watermelon Gummies & Soda Soft Candy
Tumblr media
This box was kind of repetitive in my opinion, because here we are at another candy Iā€™ve had before. These watermelon gummies by Kabaya came in a Kawaii Box a few months back prior to this one. The entire bag is 159kcal, and something I appreciate about them is that the pack is resealable.
I like these gummies because theyā€™re soft, and the sweetness is very light, but you get a lot of watermelon flavor. They have a refreshing quality to them too, so I think they would make a great summer snack.
- - - - - -
Our next item is by Coris, and it is a soft, chewy candy stick flavored after Soda (which is comparable or also labeled as ramune, you can tell the difference between soda flavors and cola because of the coloring. Cola is usually red or brown, while soda will be blue or white). The candy consists of a chewy tube filled with tightly packed powder, both of which have soda flavoring.
Although itā€™s not as chewy, these remind me a lot of a Hi-Chew. Itā€™s very tasty, and itā€™s smooth chewiness makes it feel really nice in the mouth x3 I really like it.
Aj Curry, Yaokin Soba, and Petit Kabuki Rice Crackers
Tumblr media
AJ Curry is a fairly common snack you can find in various Japanese snack packs or online, as such as Iā€™ve had it a couple times before. Each bag is 38kcal, and you get a bunch so if youā€™re looking for a little snack I think these would be a good choice.
I will mention that these expired back in December, but when I opened them they didnā€™t taste stale, although now Iā€™m beginning to notice it. The flavor is fairly light and I would assume by the name theyā€™re going for a curry spice flavor, which I can taste- but they also remind me a lot of Bugles.
- - - - -
Also by Yaokin, we have this soba snacking noodle and puff pack, flavored after the sauce you would find on soba noodles. You can eat these as-is, or the booklet even recommends putting them on some cooked noodles. Which is something I see a lot of people do, but I never tried it myself.
These expired at the end of December, and they have a weird taste- but Iā€™m not sure if its due to expiration or if its just how they taste. I havenā€™t had them for a long time. They smell really good, but they have a sort of... fishy aftertaste? To be fair though I havenā€™t really been a fan of these though, so Iā€™ll probably give them to someone else who I know would like them.
- - - - -
Our last item in this pic is a pack of rice crackers, and I got very excited to see these; I love rice, and I love rice snacks (especially savory ones). I really wish we got more of them!
The flavor is light with these -it reminds me of soy sauce- and they have a soft-crunch texture. Iā€™ve had them before but I will gladly welcome them again because I really like these ā™„
Wasabi Nori & Natto Umaibo
Tumblr media
I canā€™t say Iā€™m a big fan of wasabi or natto- but itā€™s always fun to try something new (within reason that is, there are things I never plan on eating). Our first item is this Nori (seaweed) stick similar to jerky. I have tried one of these before, but I donā€™t remember what flavor it was; I will say that they remind me a lot of squid though.
As much as I like eating seaweed, I canā€™t say this is my favorite form of it. You get the taste, but itā€™s pretty chewy, and honestly a little unpleasant from the wasabi flavor. Itā€™s not terrible, but not something I would choose again.
- - - - -
I love umaibo, but would you believe this one reminded me of wasabi way more than the seaweed did? I never actually tried natto before, but I do know there are like... wasabi or musardish flavoring for it from what Iā€™ve seen. I think thatā€™s what I taste while eating it. But itā€™s pretty light; this expired back in December though so that might have played a part in it.
It actually tasted really good. Nothing comparable to my favorite Umaibo flavor (corn potage), but I didnā€™t dislike it at all.
Fried Potato Chips & Yuzu Lemon Salt Chips
Tumblr media
These are our last 2 items of this box. Our first item is a small pack of fry-style potato chips. They look a bit like the AJ Curry donā€™t they?
These donā€™t taste bad, but theyā€™re pretty plain in comparison to the other items in the box. They have a light flavor, but itā€™s basic, nothing special. They got a nice crunch though, and they donā€™t taste bad. If youā€™re not really into unique flavors this would probably be up your alley.
- - - - -
Our last item is a frequent one by Calbee we often get the pleasure of trying :3 and I mean that very sincerely, because I love their chips (I suggest trying the pepper ones if you ever see them!). They range from basic savory flavors to the more adventurous fruity ones, sweet chocolate dipped, and even some spicy ones like wasabi. But they also have basic chip flavors too.
I think Iā€™ve tried at least 5 variants of their chips, and so far not a stinker among them. They have a high calorie count though, which is the one downside; but as long as you donā€™t eat them all at once or frequently, I donā€™t think its too bad.
Now, as I discovered from getting this box, lemon-salt is a fairly popular flavor combination. At first it sounded kind of strange to me, but it always tastes pretty good. You get the refreshing sweetness of lemon with a cut of saltiness, so there isnā€™t usually any sourness.
Which is exactly how you could describe these chips. They taste really good, and the flavor is a bit lighter than usual so if youā€™re new to it these might be a good place to start.Ā 
ā™„ Cutie Ranking ā™„
Content - 3 out of 5. I complain about repetition a lot, and sadly this box jammed that button hard for me. Only 4 items were extremely new to me, while the rest was either the same flavors or different ones. BUT, if they had to do repeats Iā€™m glad they were items I actually liked. I was also happy not to see a bag of kit kats. I love them but I was getting tire of them <_< and I find it ironic that even though we no longer got share pack items, I still got them from the random item! Ā  Quality - 3.5 out of 5. A fair amount of items were either expired or melted, warped chocolate but to be fair this box is about 5 months old, itā€™s not Tokyo Treats fault. But in saying that, Iā€™m rating this based on the fact these items arenā€™t likely to hold over long, but they mostly all still taste the same/pretty good. Theme - 5 out of 5. Well I canā€™t say the items were fresh by the time I got to them, but they were tasty :P Total Rank: 7 out of 10. I wasnā€™t very happy with this heavy repetition (for me personally, I know that canā€™t be helped because thereā€™s a lot of new people who can say they never had these before), but at least everything was yummy. I disliked one item out of everything, and even then it wasnā€™t unbearable or nasty. I also didnā€™t like how badly this box handled itself over time, and out of every box I got I think this one had it the worst. Usually they hold up so much better. But it didnā€™t ruin the box, an with next months box being Halloween based, I canā€™t wait to see what we get~
ā™„ Cutieā€™s Scale of Yummy ā™„
1. Rice Crackers -Ā ā™„ Very very VERY yummy ā™„ 2. Soda Soft Candy - Delicious ā™„ 3. Chocolate Bar - I love Apollo chocolate x3 so considering this tasted like it, I really liked this one.Ā  4. Melon Jelly Drink DIY - I usually donā€™t include the DIY items, but since I reviewed it here I didnā€™t see a point in excluding it. Very tasty, but the melon is really light.Ā Ā 
5. Natto Umaibo - I was kind of surprised I liked this as much as I did. I wasnā€™t expecting to.Ā  6. Mint Taiyaki - given its poor shape, it didnā€™t taste as good as my previous one did. But it was still yummy~ 7. Lemon Salt Chips - Iā€™m not sure theyā€™re my favorite of this brand, but I did like them. They make me think of a non-sour lemon meringue. Ā  8. Watermelon Soda - Initially I didnā€™t want very much but over time I began to like it more, and it seemed to lose that artificial watermelon taste.Ā  9. Watermelon Gummies - Sweet and soft, very refreshing. Ā  10. Melon Bread Biscuits - Pretty tasty, and I like the chocolate cream. I feel like that added something to it.Ā  11. Wasabi Nori - I wouldnā€™t choose this again, but I didnā€™t hate it. 12. Choco Mint Pocky - I thought I would like these a lot more, but theyā€™re not as strong as the chocolate mint Iā€™m used to. 13. AJ Curry - these taste fine, I never disliked them. But they were never my favorite either.
14. Gudetama Chocolate - Itā€™s very cute in packaging but the taste wasnā€™t the best.
15. Fried Potato Chips - Ā Nothing wrong with them, but they didnā€™t offer much.
16. Caramel Corn - donā€™t get me wrong, I think theyā€™re delicious, but itā€™s just the same thing with these every time.
17. Yaokin Soba - I never liked this, and i still donā€™t.

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat April 18
For the time being, I wonā€™t be doing Cutie News. It was kind of fun the first time I did it- but Iā€™m not entirely sure if I really want to keep doing it. I did have a bunch of stuff for this week, so I do apologize if you actually read that and wanted to see more. If it helps there wasnā€™t anything really all that amazing or new being featured.
Anyway I decided to focus on writing this now because Iā€™m going to be busy this upcoming week and Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™d manage to cover it. So I plan on getting the review done and working on pictures; smaller reviews are much easier to work in a busy schedule.
Tumblr media
Theme of April:Ā U(āŽĖƒį†ŗĖ‚)U EASTER HUNT / ( Ā“ā€¢Ģ„Ɨā€¢Ģ„` )ļ¼¼
The prize items for this month featured Neon Genesis Evangelion products, while the Lucky Treat box for this month featured many Rilakkuma and Gudetama goods, along with a few misc items.
So before I begin Iā€™d like to address a change I made in this review. Rather than put the candy separate, I decided to include it in this one- you will find out why below. But for now weā€™ll start with the drink:
AFTERNOON TEA WHITE CHOCOLATE MILK TEA
(itā€™s in the image above if you missed it!)
By Kirin, this drink is part of the popular Afternoon Tea collection, where the Chocolate Mint Milk Tea back in November came from. Designed to resemble a fancy piece of white chocolate, it has only 40kcal.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„
As much as I enjoy milk tea, and the mint-flavored tea from before, this one was not one Iā€™d recommend. Iā€™m not a fan of white chocolate to begin with, but to me there isnā€™t much taste in this anyway. It does taste like it though- but the scent and taste just reminds me of a white-chocolate yoohoo drink.
The book recommends trying it with a snack, and they came with a couple that seem like a good combination with it so of course I tried them; and I do have to agree that it does taste better eaten with something sweet. I especially liked it with the Caramel Corn.
Kyoro-chanā€™s Custard Pudding Snack & Pakkuncho DIsney Custard Pudding Biscuits
Tumblr media
This was actually really good timing, because I had these snacks out to test them with the drink. Theyā€™re both two different Custard Pudding-based crunchy snacks.
Starting with Kyoro-chan, these little chocolate balls are layered with crunchy biscuit on the inside. Their cute colorful dots make them extra-special for Easter, and the packaging always has a fun little game to play.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„Ā 
Theyā€™re okay. I think I prefer the other ones Iā€™ve tried to this flavor. Itā€™s cute looking, but the flavor is fairly light. I was also shocked to find out the entire box was 122 calories <3< theyā€™re small small, and Iā€™ve been dieting this month...
Next we have the Disney Custard Pudding Biscuits. These are essentially disney versions of the panda biscuit snacks. They feature various Disney characters; including adorable Easter eggs like the ones Disney hides around the park every Easter~
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
I liked these slightly better than the prior snack. They actually kind of taste likeĀ  butterscotch to me though.
CARAMEL CORN SHARE PACK & EASTER BANANA KIT KATS
Tumblr media
You know, I actually didnā€™t realize how I had set up these first few items. The first had the same flavors, these are both share packs :3 I subconsciously made some good pairings, donā€™t you think?
First are the kit kats, which look very cute with Easter packaging and adorable bunnies. The flavoring is banana and there are 12 possible packaging designs- including a gold package. Which is actually gold and shiny, I got curious and checked. Each bar set is 64 calories.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„Ā 
I love kit kats- but I do not like Banana-flavored things. I can just manage to handle an actual banana, and if itā€™s close to that it isnā€™t so bad. Artificial Banana is one way to get on my bad side though. These were kinda in the middle, between realistic and artificial.
Our next snack is the Caramel Corn by Tohato. A popular snack mix of caramel corn and peanuts. It comes in a variety of sweet flavors, several of which appeared in the box. This is their specific, basic flavor- but in the share pack they donā€™t include the peanuts. Each bag is 56.1 calories.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
Itā€™s the basic caramel corn they make; but itā€™s soft and crispy, and has enough sweetness to avoid being too sugary like some of their flavors usually are. Iā€™m not really heartbroken over the lack of peanuts though, I donā€™t like them.
GUDETAMA CANDY, COLORFUL SEEDS SOFT CANDY, BABY BEAR GUMMIES, AND HEALTHY SNACKING SQUISHY LEMON GUMMIES
Tumblr media
That was a mouthful to write; and this is a mouthful to eat :D These are all bite-sized, colorful candies ranging from gummy to crunchy.
Iā€™ll start with the most average one (and the one I didnā€™t open), the Gummy Bears. Everyone loves gummy bears x3 the tiny bag is only 39 calories! By bag came with two green apples, a lemon, and an orange.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
You donā€™t get many, being such a tiny bag and all- but sometimes thatā€™s enough. Theyā€™re firm, but still soft enough to chew. Nothing special or different- but they are really cute.
Next weā€™ll move on to the Lemon Gummies; which are thankfully much softer. Plus they have the additional bonus of being healthy! Packed with fiber and protein, they help ones fullness to protect from overeating.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
They remind me of lemon, maybe lemonade or a strong cleaning product. But they taste really good! I love them! It looks like they have little rinds in the middle of them too, which makes them fun to look at. I love how they taste really good but they end up being healthy as well. I couldnā€™t have opened this box at a better time~
The next Candy stars everyoneā€™s favorite: GUDETAMA! These are adorable yogurt drops filled with orange sauce. You can suck on them until theyā€™re entirely gone, or you can suck on it for a few minutes- then crunch your way through. I kinda prefer that method myself. Iā€™m not patient enough to wait.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
They taste pretty good, but I found myself bored with the neutral yogurt taste- so Iā€™m glad thereā€™s something inside. The orange sauce really adds to it. The packaging is super-cute too, theyā€™d made adorable decorations.
The final candy in the picture is the Soft Candy mix, featuring two soft candies in Orange and Grape, and a powdered tablet in Soda/Ramune. You can also mix two (or all three) flavors to get brand new ones- like green apple, orange juice, grape soda, and a mystery flavor! I love fun candies like that!
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
Each separate candy is delicious, and together theyā€™re really good too. Although I have to admit, I donā€™t really notice much difference between them when mixed. Maybe a tiny bit of one- but itā€™s not super noticeable. When you mix all three, there is a distinct taste, but I honestly canā€™t tell what it is.
Umaibo Teriyaki Burger & Umaiwa Cheese
Tumblr media
Featuring the popular Umai-series flavors and design, we have two matching snacks: First is the Umaiwa Cheese- basically ring versions of a cheese flavored Umaibo. The entire bag was 94 calories; which is kind of a lot, but Iā€™ve seen worse.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
As much as I love cheese, Iā€™m not a huge fan of the cheese flavor. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with it; itā€™s just not in my top 3, or 5. Probably.
The other item is my most second favorite Umaibo ever: Teriyaki Burger! Even the wrapper still smells super-yummy after three days of being emptied~
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
It tastes SO GOOD. I tend to be finicky with teriyaki flavors (I like them, but sometimes they just donā€™t taste right), but Iā€™ve had this one a few times, and each time Iā€™m in complete ecstasy. Just like the corn potage ones~
CALBEE PLUM SEAWEED CHIPS 7 DON TACOS GRILLED CORN FLAVOR
Tumblr media
These are our final two savory snacks, we sadly didnā€™t get very many for this month- probably because we got a bunch previously. But they were all so delicious, Iā€™m pretty satisfied.
First is the Don Tacos Grilled Corn chip. This delicious snack is perfect if you like crunchy tortilla chips. Itā€™s a medium-small sized bag, but itā€™s very full, which is a nice bonus if you like them :P the calorie count is high though, being 293 calories!
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„Ā 
As unfortunate as that is- these are too delicious! I donā€™t even feel sorry for eating them. Although to play it safe, I made sure to eat them sparingly. They taste like S+ rated tortilla chips, full of corn flavoring with a hint of buttery soy sauce.
The other item is the Plum Seaweed chips; which might sound kinda strange to some people. They made me excited though. I love sour things like pickled plum, and seaweed! The bag is slightly bigger than the prior bag- although it wasnā€™t filled as much. Despite that the calorie count is also way higher at 321 calories!!
The packaging design was made by the popular Kyoto textile designer Sou Sou.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„ ā™„ ā™„
The pickled plum flavor is strong, although I taste no seaweed honestly. Itā€™s a little disappointing, but it could also explain why the plum taste isnā€™t overwhelmingly sour too you know? I really like them though.
CHOCO BANANA DIY KIT
Our final item for the review is this DIY Candy Kit. The reason I included it here was because not only did I have picture space- but the DIY feature is so minimal that it felt unnecessary creating a whole new topic just for it.
Tumblr media
So basically you empty the contents out onto the tray, then you put them together like this:
Tumblr media
Thatā€™s literally it.
Rating: ā™„ ā™„Ā 
Itā€™s fun to put together, the chocolates good, as is the sprinkles... but the banana candy is EXTREMELY ARTIFICIAL, like the banana laffy taffy, popsicles, or runts if you tried any of those. So I really did not like it at all.
ā™„ Cutie Ranking ā™„
Quality - 5 out of 5. We got 14 items, but if you count the +2 of the 3 Disney biscuits, that brings it up to 16. Our normal amount is 15-16, and we have +3 of 4 Caramel Corn snacks. Iā€™m not super thrilled over the numbers due to getting a copy of an item I thought was so-so, and one Iā€™m tired of seeing.
Content - 3 out of 5. Honestly I only liked a few things. I mean everything was edible, but I didnā€™t like too much lot of it.Ā 
Theme - 2 out of 5. There was about 3 items that actually reminded me of Easter, so I feel like they could have done more- even items with carrot flavoring, or some more bunnies would have helped it greatly.
Total Rank: 10 out of 15 Cuties. It was a fine box, but besides the savory snacks and one or two other things, it wasn't amazing. I've also given up on the blind boxes/accessories/toys coming back. For some reason they thought it was better giving us "share pack" items. That's nice and all but for people like me it's a waste. I pay for individual items. Part of the boxes appeal to me was the fun/cute bonus item. I mean, Japan Crate still does it I think. Lately I wish I could order it...Ā 
ā™„ Cutieā€™s Scale of Yummy ā™„
1. Teriyaki Burger Umaibo - I know what I like, what can I say?
2. Grill Corn Don Tacos - I adore Japanese corn-flavored things and corn as it were; so these were amazing!
3. Pickled Plum and Seaweed chips - I didnā€™t taste seaweed on them but they were still delicious~
4. Healthy Lemon Gummies - The realistic, tangy lemon flavor is lovely x3 I also really like the softer gummy texture.
5. Colorful Seeds Soft Candy - Each candy taste amazing, and I love the mixing concept even if the flavors arenā€™t as noticeable.
6. Gudetama Candy -Ā  Itā€™s a little disappointing the faces are only on the wrappers; and after a while the yogurt flavor is a bit boring. But I still like them. The orange sauce inside is yummy :PĀ 
7. Caramel Corn Snack - If you like caramel youā€™d love these, otherwise probably not. I like them but I seem to get them a lot in these boxes so Iā€™m pretty tired of them...
8. Bear Gummies - They tasted good, but they arenā€™t special or different.
9. Umaiwa Cheese - Good, but Iā€™ve had better cheese-flavored things.Ā 
10. Disney Custard Biscuits - I love the designs on them, and the flavor isnā€™t bad...
11. White Chocolate Milk Tea - Itā€™s not bad, but it hardly has any taste and what I did taste I wasnā€™t a big fan of.
12. Custard Pudding Snack - Not much flavor. They look cute though.Ā 
13. Banana Kit Kat - These were just slightly better than the DIY.Ā 
14. Banana DIY - I hate artificial banana and the chocolate and sprinkles canā€™t cover it up.
Alright Cuties, here we are at the end of another review. This ended up taking me hours due to random things going on- I am tired and irritated at this point. But Iā€™m just glad I finished overall. Iā€™ll try to get another review worked on within this busy week I have planned- but if not Iā€™ll probably have it up over the weekend. Itā€™s the last April box I have to do :3
Until then, stay Cute!
