Sakuraco Reviews 2,533

The Sakuraco snack boxes were, hands down, my favorite gift to receive this year. After recently spending three weeks traveling through different areas of Japan, this box instantly transported me back. It brought up vivid memories of sensations, tastes, and smells that took me right back to that journey, one I already plan to repeat.

I love how thoughtfully each snack is chosen for every box, along with the beautifully written descriptions of the snacks, the culture, and the different regions of Japan. It truly feels like being back in Japan again, rediscovering each area through these carefully curated boxes. Knowing that I’ll be receiving another box for the next six months brings so much joy to my soul. So grateful for receiving this gift for Christmas.

Beautiful box and delicious snacks. Really like the informative booklet too. Wonderful.

I got this snack box as a present and I have to say that it was a such a nice suprise! I liked how to box contained a lot of interesting products and I believe that everyone can find something in the box that suits their preferences as there were both sweet and salty snacks in it. While not all of the snacks fit to my taste, there was a lot of good information about the products and their origins which I appreciated. Based on this experience I think I could order a similar box myself in the future.

Beautiful packaging and packed with care. Looking forward to trying all of the items from Nagano. Our kitties loved it too!

I have had three boxes from sakuraco amd each time I've been amazed by what I have gotten! I absolutely love that I can get a little piece of Japan culture! I can't wait to continue to see and learn more! Highly recommend!

This company is a scam. They make you think it's a one time payment, then they secretly auto renew you without ANY warning or notice, then refuse refunds. Of course they refuse a refund, the whole thing is a scam! Beware! Disputing with my bank currently for an unauthorized charge of $295.

Bringing a Piece of Japan Home: My Sakuraco Review
​After returning to Canada from a life-changing trip to Japan, I found myself struggling with the "Japanese blues." I missed the culture and the flavors so much that I wanted a way to stay connected to the country that amazed me. I decided to treat myself to a Sakuraco subscription, and it has been the perfect way to keep those memories alive.
​More Than Just Snacks
​While I expected high-quality treats, I was blown away by the "extra perks" that came with my experience. Sakuraco goes beyond just food; they provide authentic lifestyle items that make you feel like you’re back in a traditional ryokan.
​The Kimono-Style Robe: A beautiful, high-quality piece that adds a touch of Japanese elegance to my mornings.
​The Matcha Set: Receiving a traditional cup to prepare my own matcha tea was a highlight. It turned a simple snack time into a mindful ritual.
​Authentic Flavors
​So far, I’ve only dipped into a few items from the box, but the quality is undeniable. Everything has been incredibly tasty and delicious, featuring authentic seasonal flavors that you simply cannot find in local grocery stores here in Canada. Each bite feels like a tiny trip back to the streets of Kyoto or Tokyo.
​The Verdict
​This subscription was a "present to myself," and it has been worth every penny. It is more than a snack box; it’s a monthly reminder of the beauties of Japan. If you are looking for a way to cure your travel blues or simply want to experience authentic Japanese culture from your living room, I cannot recommend Sakuraco enough.

By far the worst experience with ordering online I've ever had! The onsen retreat advent calendar is a painful scam, where you get to be reminded about your stupidity for purchasing this horrible product every day. The low-effort cheap items in every day are just so cheap and bad that they make me want to cry, and they kill the mood for the entire day. Opening each box just feels like an insult both to me as a customer, and the Japanese culture as a whole. The only nice thing about the advent calendar is the visual aesthetic of the boxes. Random items on different days - tiny scraps/rags, tasteless cheapest/simplest lollipops you could find on the market.

If I had known the crap they add to the calendar - I wouldn't have wanted it even if it was free. Because the form is an advent calendar - essentially the experience you get is a reminder every day "you're such a loser - you paid 200$ for this crap 😅". I feel attacked.

Love it already and this is just my first box! Got my first box and all I have to say is wow! 🤩 a full box of super yummy snacks! I was surprised at just how much was in it, and a great variety- crunchy, sweet, umami. Also love the little booklet that shares what each snack is and a little history about Japan and its culture. I Am so excited for what’s in the next one!

They changed the renewal date of the subscription 5 days earlier and took my money. Because of that, I paid for an extra month without actually wanting to. I sent an email with proof that they didn’t keep up their end of the subscription, and I received a gift card instead of my money.

First box and subscription post-Japan trip blues and this really helped a lot. It took me back there again and more! Each included snack are of highest quality and love. I love the booklet it came with and the thoughtful postcard with the founders message on it. I love that some snacks came in two, too. Easy to share with others. I shall now try to find some of these snacks at my local Japanese grocery store in London. Thank you!

The Nagano box from Sakuraco was an amazing assortment of snacks and culture. You can tell how carefully everything was crafted from the selection of goods to the booklet explaining it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better box.

The snacks came in a lovely box with a beautiful card and a booklet to explain eack snack it detail. I love mochi and snacks from fukuoka and Ebi Osenbe. This box was perfect. The holiday box is the first of twelve and we are very excited for the next year and all the little snacks to come. 🥰

I had been considering subscribing to the Sakuraco snack box for years and finally took the plunge. The treats are varied between sweet and savory and are all delicious. I am a tea lover and was excited to try their local teas. All in all, it is a fun little monthly treat!

I received my first box the December box 2025 and it was amazing. It had a lot of really tasty treats and a beautiful handcrafted plate. The snacks were of high quality and was a good mix of different types.

I got it shipped to Sweden and the package arrived without damage and in a reasonable time frame. It was nice to easily be able to get updates of the delivery status along the way.

I am already exited for next month's box.

I learned about SakuraCo from YouTube and I wasnt disappointed, the packaging is really nice and cute, the snacks themselves are aswell and it came relatively fast, I could easily track the package as well

Got a box as a gift for my birthday, coincidentally it was for snacks from Osaka, which is also my favorite Azumanga Daioh character! Various yummy treats varying in sweet, savory, crunchy, chewy, etc. Fun reading along with the guidebook learning how they came to be and what they are made of.

Got the box shipped to Norway without any issues. Had to pay import tax which is the only thing keeping me from getting several months subscription - not the company's fault!
The box' content was exciting, a little adventure to try every snack. I really enjoyed all of it except the wasabi flavor snack, but still fun to try! The informational leaflet was interesting and well made too. Definitely recommend trying this for at least a month

Amazingly quick service from Japan to UK, excellently packed. Really looking forward to trying the interesting curated items in this box. Some items will repeat memories from a recent Japan trip, others will be new items, which I'm sure I'll want to try again

Great way to explore Japan from the comfort of your own home. I love the monthly themes, the little ceramic gifts and of course the snacks themselves! Always a good mix of things and with surprising flavors.
