I first came across Freedom Japanese Market’s Subscription Box when I was browsing the lovely Boxnip’s blog. Sarah is UK’s Queen of subscription boxes her reviews are detailed and her blog is amazing, it is well worth a read.
Hubby and I have visited Japan a few times, we have travelled to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagano and Kanazawa. We absolutely love the country and its culture and hope to go back there in the near future. This sub box gives us a little bit of that Japanese nostalgia and satisfies our urge to travel back there for a little while longer.
I purchased the August Sample box which consisted of 14 delicious snacks varying from sweet to savory and everything in between. My origami of the month was a Happi which are traditional Japanese coats, usually only worn during festivals.
Listed below are the items that I received and how they were described in the content sheet.
Caramel Corn
Watch the olympics while snacking on some Brazilian coffee flavoured caramel corn.
Godzilla Butamen
A mini size soy sauce flavoured instant ramen, so spicy it would have even Godzilla breathing fire!
Ice Ramune
Ice shaped ramune candies that will freeze your tongue!
Hya-To Suru Candy
These orange and apple flavoured candies will make chills race up your spine!
Salad and Natto Umaibo
One of our most popular snacks with a delectable dusting of salt. If you’ve ever wanted to try natto, or fermented soy bean, now is your chance!
Diamond Ring Candy
This cola flavoured candy doubles as a stylish fashion accessory.
Rich Butter Chips
Delicious potato chips flavoured with Hokkaido butter.
Okonomiyaki Senbei
These rice crackers come with a special packet of okonomiyaki sauce.
HimoHimo Candy
Mix the soda and cola flavoured candy to create a lemon squash combination!
Candy Money
The wrappers of these hard candies resemble Japanese $1 million and $100,000 bills.
Baked Corn Crackers
Soy sauce flavoured grilled corn, in a bite sized cracker form!
Fruit Ramune – Bonus Item
Mini pieces of muscat, grape or strawberry flavoured ramune candy in cute containers shaped like strawberries, grapes or carrots.
Notes on my top 3 picks. I found the Caramel Corn very morish, they were sweet and crunchy every bite was better than the next. Godzilla Butamen is a delectable ramen dish which had just the right amount of heat and spice for my taste buds. I saved the best for last, Ice ramune is a bizarre type of lolly which is quick dissolving and cold on the tongue, they hurt so good!

I have wanted to try some of these things, but I love the Ramune Candies. There is a store near me that sells them and I always get them. Also The Ring pop looking one looks like fun! I may have to look into getting this box. Seems like a good way to try new things!
It was so much fun to unbox and yes the ramune candies were delcious 🙂 I would definitely recommend Freedom Japanese Market to everyone.
