The First Bokksu Box
My Bokksu box finally arrived in the mail today!
As you open your box, you are greeted by a thank you note and a culture guide magazine that describes each product’s origin, flavors, and even common allergens! As a Registered Dietitian, I really appreciate how common allergens are listed. Living in the US, we may not be as familiar with other cultures’ foods but the culture guide can help us understand their snacks and it also gives us a sense of ease knowing what exactly is in the snacks! The first thing that I tried was the freeze-dried strawberry infused with white chocolate. It’s nothing that I have ever had before. It tasted like strawberry chocolate. It was very unique as the chocolate was invisible in this product! Even when I cut it in half, I couldn't see the chocolate. That is why I was so amazed by it. I guess the shape of this product really threw me off too. The seaweed tempura was very interesting as well. It was so fresh and crunchy with a strong kick of citrus. Again, this is nothing I’ve ever had before. I ended my sample of the day with a cup of Japanese green tea. It was the perfect drink to pair with the snacks. My favorite part about this Bokksu box is how most of their products come in pairs! Not only can you enjoy it yourself, but you can also share it with your friends and family! It is such a great way to share the Japanese culture. I’m excited to go through my other snacks including the uni flavored crackers and the sesame cookie!!
