Without further ado, let's dive into this Japan Crate review to explore the Arts and Crafts Crate offerings, from its creative packaging to the exciting bonus item.

First Impressions of the Arts and Crafts Crate

As part of this Japan Crate review, we must delve into the unboxing aspect. Like with each monthly crate theme, the packaging design offers the perfect setting for the Arts and Crafts Crate. Decorated with an array of calligraphy, origami cranes, and ukiyo-e (a Japanese art genre), the box provides an immersive experience, especially once you uncover the secret creative offering inside!

Once opened and with the snacks removed, you'll find a beautiful nature scene printed on the box's interior. A few scissor snips, and the box becomes the perfect diorama backdrop to show off your arts and crafts, like homemade origami cranes! This interactive element makes the unboxing of this crate even more exciting!

Unpacking the Snack Box Content and Bonus Item

Inside the Arts and Crafts Crate is a delicious array of Japanese snacks, each more exciting and delicious than the last. This section explores some of the stand-out snacks in the box, providing a sneak peek into the tasty treats packed into this limited edition crate.

Strawberry Gum

This isn't your ordinary gum! It comes individually wrapped in adorable strawberry-themed wrappers, the perfect vessel for arts and crafts. You can create fun miniature origami art as you chew on this deliciously fruity gum. Then, display it in your diorama box. Try crafting a crane, fish, or butterfly with the wrappers from this treat.

Ramune Candy

Ramune Candy not only tastes delightful but also allows you to express your creativity. Each candy features a fizzy Ramune soda flavor that's just as refreshing as the actual soda beverage. This fun candy arrives in a Ramune bottle-shaped container that you'll want to keep for later. Once you've finished the candies inside the bottle, use it to display your origami stars (made with or without the Strawberry Gum wrappers).

Super Mario Rescue Chocolate

Part of the fun of arts and crafts is getting a bit messy, and this snack sure requires it! This yummy chocolate bar includes some of the beloved characters from Super Mario, though they're trapped behind a chocolate wall. Use a steady hand to break them out of their chocolate wall, then enjoy your chocolate bits as a sweet trophy for your hard work.

Besides including the best Japanese snacks, this Japanese snack box also features a unique bonus item you won't want to miss. Each subscriber will receive their own Ukiyo-e Folding Fan for this monthly crate. Featuring a stunning ukiyo-e nature print from one of the masters of this art genre, Hokusai, you'll find a plethora of uses for this sensu (folding fan). Whether you use this fan to simply stay cool over the summer, as a wall decoration, or as an outfit accessory, you won't be able to get enough of the detailed design.
