If you’ve watched this channel before, you might remember that Ben used to do Bokksu snack box reviews pretty regularly. After a long break, his enthusiasm for Japanese snacks has officially returned — and the timing couldn’t be better.
With the news that our family (including my cousin Ryan) is heading to Japan in 2026, Ben’s interest in Japanese food, culture, and snacks has been completely re-energized. The Fall 2025 Bokksu Snack Box turned out to be the perfect way to kick things off again.
This post pairs with our video review, where Ben and Ryan taste, react, and share their honest thoughts on this seasonal box.
What’s Inside the Fall 2025 Bokksu Snack Box?
Each Bokksu box highlights regional Japanese snacks with a seasonal theme, and Fall 2025 leaned into flavors that might surprise Western snack fans.
Instead of heavy pumpkin spice or cinnamon notes, this box focused on:
-
🍠 Sweet potato flavors (the clear star of the box)
-
🍎 Apple accents
-
🍊 Citrus elements
-
🍬 A mix of sweet and lightly savory textures
If you’re expecting fall flavors to mirror American autumn snacks, this box is a great reminder that Japanese seasonal flavors follow a different (and often more subtle) approach.
Taste Test Reactions: Hits, Misses, and Surprises
Ben and Ryan worked their way through the box, discussing:
-
Which sweet potato snacks stood out
-
Which flavor combinations were unexpected
-
How Japanese fall snacks differ from what we’re used to in the U.S.
Some snacks were immediate favorites, while others sparked debate — which is half the fun of a Bokksu box. Trying unfamiliar flavors is what makes these reviews interesting, especially when reactions are honest and unscripted.
Bonus Round: Extra Japanese Snacks from Ryan
At the end of the video, Ryan surprised us by bringing along additional Japanese snacks that weren’t part of the Bokksu box. This turned into an impromptu bonus tasting session and added some variety to the review.
These extra snacks also gave us a small preview of the kinds of treats we’ll eventually be hunting down in Japan during our 2026 trip.
