Hello my lovely yellow dandelions! :3

I'm back on my blog today with one of my outfit posts! ^^;

But today I got 5 outfits to share from when I dressed up in proper Lolita and Fairy-Kei fashion for different activities, haha! :3 I hope you'll enjoy them! ^^;

Tokyo Treat Box Review! ~ May 2020!

Hello my cute and cuddly kittens! ^^;

Last week after waiting for almost 3 months I received my may Tokyo Treat box! XD; I was debating either I wanted to do a review of it or not since it was so late but I really enjoy doing these so here you go! :3

Here was everything that was in the box! ^^; The theme was non-stop sakura party!

As usual I'm going to review each of the items one by one as I was trying them! ~

~ Chicken Ramen Snacks ~

It's quite crunchy and very salty. You can definitely taste the chicken flavour and it's a very natural taste! I often eat dry ramen like that with added powder to it but for this one the "powder" is already stuck to the dried noodles so it's more evenly distributed.

~ Mike Popcorn Soy Sauce & Butter Flavour ~

The taste of soy sauce with the popcorn is really special and unique! You can also taste the faint taste of butter and it doesn't taste as "cheap" as the popcorn from here! It was really good!

~ Frozen Coca Cola Lemon ~

I feel like this coke is less sweet than the coke we have in Canada. I really liked the faint lemon flavour to it! Sadly I feel like it didn't quite froze like it was supposed to but it was good anyway! XD;

~ Sakura Matcha Collon ~

The sakura cream inside was really really good! It really tasted like sakura flowers, so fancy! ^^; It's really soft and creamy and the filling paired well with the crunchyness of the waffle. I am not usually a fan of matcha but the matcha waffle isn't overpowering. It's not overly sweet either. Very good snack! ^^

~ Hello Kitty Sakura Candy ~

Firstly, the packaging is SO CUTE! I only tasted the apple flavour so far and it's quite good, not too sweet and it taste like apple juice pretty much! XD; The Prince had the Orange one and it tasted like marmalade to him! I also liked the little fortune on the candies, that was cool! XD;

*Since then I had the other flavours and I would say that my favourite is the cherry one! ^^ It tasted really like actual cherries, yum! :3

~ Ham and Potato Porickey ~

The flavour was a bit special but it was quite good! I liked the seasoning on the pretzel stick, it tasted a bit like black pepper and it was tasty! The more that you ate them, the tastier it was it seems, haha! XD;

~ Taro Beans ~

I think I already tasted something similar in the past and I really liked it! It taste a bit like corn puffs and the salty seasoning is so flavourful and tasty! I wish the package was bigger, it's so good and addictive! XD;

~ Burger Gummy ~

We have some candies like this here! ^^ The taste and texture was a bit similar, but I feel like the candy was a little bit better and more tasty? I was expecting it to be sour but it wasn't! (I don't like sour candy! XD)

~ Apple Jelly ~

The taste of apple is very faint and not sweet at all! The jelly was very very soft!

~ Nissin Matcha Coconut Cookies ~

The texture was exceptional! So crunchy and nice! There was a thin layer of melted sugar on the cookie which was delightful! The taste of matcha is really faint and didn't bother me! These cookies were a little more sweet than the Japanese cookies I am used to but I really liked them! ^^; I cannot wait to have some with a cup of tea! ~

~ Senkaku Crackers Vegetable Flavour ~

It kind of taste like the vegetable crackers we have here! The vegetable taste is not overpowering and the texture is nice and crunchy.

~ Sakura Mochi Chocolate ~

This chocolate was really good! ^^ I really like these mochi chocolate, I love the unique texture of the mochi coated with chocolate! The sakura and red bean chocolate was really tasty and it wasn't too sweet, a very delightful combo! :3

~ Choco-Taro ~

It had a light fluffy texture that taste like corn and it's coated with chocolate! There was a peanut inside! ^^;

~ Ramune Candies ~

I got the strawberry one! ^^ The bunny on it is so cute! The ramune candies are more powdery than what I remembered! XD; They were very yummy and the flavour and sweetness is very faint! They were a bit sour too!

~ Umaibo Pollock ~

It tasted a bit spicy, like BBQ almost? With a very faint seafood flavour. I liked this one! ^^

~ Sakura Sake Kitkats ~

I remember having those before in another box! The faint sake taste mixed with the sakura flavour is delightful! The chocolate is so creamy also, very good! :3 I think it's one of my favourite flavours of Kitkat! ^^

~ Cabbage Chips ~

The taste remind me of pork katsu sauce! I cannot seem to taste the cabbage at all? But I remember getting a similar one in another snack box before too! XD;

As usual, I like to do a Top 3 of my favourite snacks from the month with the Prince too! ^^;

~ Tomoyo's Top 3! ~

~ Taro Beans

~ Sakura Mochi Chocolate

~ Mike Popcorn Soy Sauce & Butter Flavour

~ Prince's Top 3! ~

~ Sakura Matcha Collon

~ Sakura Mochi Chocolate

~ Chicken Ramen Snack

Overall I was quite happy with that box, I liked to try some new flavours and luckily get to taste some other  snacks I already tasted before! ^^

Until next time my sweet pink lollipops, be safe and take care! ~
