In April we celebrated the beautiful pink, purple, and white of the cherry blossom season with our Hanami Festival Bokksu! Ideal snacks for any traditional hanami picnic, this month we shared some of our favorite snacks reminiscent of the beautiful flowers, and some you might find in a hanami bento.

Who Took the Survey?

This month over Members from over 27 countries shared their thoughts with us. For 40% this was their very first Bokksu (so exciting!!). With survey-takers from Denmark to Cyprus, from Chile to Lithuania, a huge thank you to all who participated and our winner for this month, Moia!

But What Did Our Members *Really* Think?

This month’s snacks surprised me as I usually don’t like flower flavored snacks but I enjoyed basically all the snacks in April’s box.

I was pleased with the extremely fast delivery time of the international shipping, and the sakura theme is my favorite, so I enjoyed almost every item.

I've tried a few other boxes that have curated Japanese snacks. Bokksu is by far the best and really doesn't cheap out. We really enjoy it and I know others would too.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our April Survey! Your feedback tells us how to improve each month so every box is better than the last.
