Included is a guide that explains each treat for the buyer so they can explore the history and unique flavors before taking a bite. Ready to see what April's box had in store? Read on with me!



Don Tacos Grilled Corn Flavor-
Oh do I love tacos! These chips were so savory. There was a dash of salt and a hint of sweetness from the butter and soy sauce mix on the crispy corn chips. One of my favorite toppings is soy sauce so this was perfection. Yum!



Caramel Corn Share Pack-
Sweet, soft, with just a hint of crunch. These Caramel Corn snacks reminded me of the type of texture you'd expect from corn cakes almost. The pack of four makes these wonderful to share with friends. With the flavor not being too overpowering, these were wonderful to curve a sweet craving.



Calbee Plum Seaweed Chips-
I'll admit I was nervous about this one. I’ve never had any type of seaweed before. I was pleasantly surprised, however! The chips had a traditional crispy texture along with a nice thickness to the consistency. There was a good bite of flavor to it that you would expect from an underwater delight. A nice mix of salt too makes these a good match for a seafood aficionado.



Umaiwa Cheese-
Umaiwa Cheese are adorable circular snacks for my cheese lovers out there! They have the perfect corn puff texture and the flavor of the cheese is a little sharp and yet a little sweet. Just like cheese fondue. It reminded me a lot of the onion ring snacks that we have here in America. I would highly recommend them!




Choco Banana DIY Kit-
A good DYI kit never disappoints and these were so much fun to make! Such an enjoyable kit for children and family alike. Included is the chewy banana treat, chocolate cream, as well as a colorful topping to put into the plastic container. To avoid mess there is even a toothpick included to insert your treat into. The Choco Banana texture is soft and chewy. The chocolate has a rich and decadent flavor while the topping as a hint more sweetness to the mix.



Umaibo Teriyaki Burger-
The Unaibo Teriyaky Burger is shaped so uniquely! I really loved the large size along with the light and airy texture. The flavor is extremely savory! There’s no doubt that you are enjoying a teriyaki treat as if you were really in Japan!



Gudetama Candy-
These cute candies melt in your mouth for you to enjoy! Inside is a hidden orange sauce that adds perfectly to the yogurt flavored sweet candy. The sweetness wasn’t too overpowering and was well balanced with the orange sauce. Plus who wouldn’t love the adorable Gudetama faces on the wrappers?



Pakkuncho Disney Custard Pudding Biscuits-
I'm a huge Disney fan and the Pakkuncho Custard Biscuits wear one of my favorites in this month's box! The fun Disney packaging mixed with the airy crunch of the basket was delicious! The custard pudding was like an added bonus. It was rich and flavorful just like a bakery dessert.



Colorful Seeds Soft Candy-
Welcome to flavor paradise with the Colorful Seeds Soft Candy! They reminded me a lot of jellybeans. The flavors include grape, orange, and ramune. With a pang of taste it makes it even more fun to mix and match flavors. A little sweet with a little tart is the ideal experience! The bag has a nice Ziploc on it as well.



Healthy Snacking Squishy Lemon Gummies-
If you love lemon these are perfect for you! The Lemon Gummies have a thick texture and a powerful zing. They are a bit hard to chew so I would recommend letting them melt in your mouth.



Kyoro-chan's Custard Pudding Snack-
There are three unique textures to these snacks. One is the soft outside layer of white chocolate. Upon biting deeper into the egg shaped treat, you get a dash of crunch almost like a biscuit or cookie. Lastly comes the sweetest of the pudding inside as well. Another favorite of mine from TokyoTreat! 



Easter Banana Kit Kats-
I'm a huge fan of traditional Kit Kat Bars. My entire household loves them. I was excited to get the opportunity to try a new flavor! They reminded me a lot of banana pudding with wafer cookies, one my favorite desserts! The taste of the banana seemed very realistic, unlike many banana flavored treats on the market. Within the Kit Kat is everyone's favorite light crispy wafer and that was the perfect addition. 



Baby Bear Gummies-
I'm a sucker for anything cute (or Kawaii since we're discussing Tokyo, Japan) and these Baby Bear Gummies were just that. The design was absolutely adorable. The flavors of the treat is what you'd expect from a gummy bear. Since these are my little brother's favorite, I gladly shared with him!



Afternoon Tea White Chocolate Milk Tea-
The perfect way to finish off the TokyoTreat experience is with a delicious drink! This White Chocolate Milk Tea is perfect to share with your loved ones or enjoy solo with any of the included snacks in your box. The flavors were quite rich and smooth. I'm a huge tea fan and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this beverage! The bottle design itself was also very unique, sculptured to look like a real piece of white chocolate.

My Thoughts

My family loved IHop! Its a frequent place we eat, especially when kids get to eat free on weeknights in our area. We were very excited to get to try the new pancakes for the summer.

The new pancakes are:

Blueberry Lemonade

Banana Pudding

Blackberry Peach Cobbler

We tried Blueberry Lemonade and Banana Pudding.

The blueberry lemonade was very tasty. The pancakes have blueberries in them as well and a thick lemon creme on the top. I really liked this combo put together, but I will admit, when I got near the end of eating my pancakes, I pushed the lemon creme off, as I had gotten tired of the rich flavor. But as you can see in my photo, the cook who prepared mine put a lot of lemon creme on. The next time I would request them to go a little lighter when adding it.

We also got the banana pudding pancakes.

This one was really good. My daughter got this for herself, but I stole more then a few bites for review purposes, of course. I think I liked these the best, and the waitress even said this item has been very popular. While it was sweet, it wasn't overly done where I would feel a sugar high after finishing it. There is a light banana creme under the bananas and vanilla wafers.

And the last type of pancake is the blackberry peach cobbler. We didn't try this one, but here is a photo of what it looks like.

We enjoyed our dinner at IHop and I wanted to mention since we dine there a lot, that we did notice a new menu, with several new items on it. As well as a spruced up kids menu. If you're in the mood for some pancakes, give one of these summer stacks a try before they are gone.
