November Japanese Snack Box Review

This month’s Bokksu box focused on the difference Japanese prefectures… so it was a random assortment of snacks from across all of Japan. The general theme seemed to be citrus flavors.

I can’t say this one was my favorite, but it had a few goodies to enjoy.

Sony ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone Review

I recently purchased the Sony ECM-B1M digital shotgun microphone for the Alpha ecosystem.

The benefits of this microphone are:
1. The input is purely digital audio
2. The controls are physical on the microphone (so you don’t have to change settings in the menu).
3. The hot shoe connection eliminates the need for a 3.5MM wire.

Take a look at the video to listen to the different sound settings.

This video is NOT a promotion or ad. I was not paid for the video nor was I given a sample device to test (I paid for this out of my own pocket).

Japanese Kansai Autumn Snack Box

This month’s Bokksu is “Kansai Autumn” themed. Ben and Allison ripped through the snacks and offered their opinions. It was another matcha heavy box which yielded mixed results.

Note: Kansai is a region in the south of Honshu, Japan’s main island. In its center is the city of Kyoto, Japan’s capital from 794 to 1869.
