In the labyrinthine streets of Shinjuku, where the neon glows brighter than a Tokyo sunrise and Izakayas line the narrow alleys, or amidst the serenity of the Aomori prefecture where forested hikes bring peace and apples are the star of many food products, one finds the essence of Japan. But what if you could capture that spirit in a box?
Enter the Tokyo Treats Japanese Snack Boxes, a monthly culinary escapade that’s more thrilling than playing Pachinko in Shinjuku, more satisfying than dining in a ‘Kill Bill‘ haunt, and an ideal companion for crossing off items from your Tokyo Bucket List.
