I just signed up for an awesome subscription service that provides me with biweekly candy packets from Japan. I signed up just a few days ago, and I already received my first package!
From the upper left corner and going clockwise we have hard milk candies, some mini chocolate malt balls, some sort of eel rollup*, and caramels.
The monthly subscription rate is $23.95, which is cheaper than cable. I love getting things in the mail, so I just couldn’t pass this up.
*regarding the eel or fish “candy,” I gave it to Peter. He took a bite then asked, “Are you sure this is edible?” He ate the whole thing. It looked like it had the texture of an Abba Zabba bar, sort of.
So cool! I could see doing monthly; bi-weekly would be more than I’d need.
Great to hear the candy arrived without problems. I love this photo. What’s this style called? It looks… desaturated.
omg. i cannot wait to see what your other shipments contain.
i am fascinated that he continued to eat the eel candy despite the questionable edible-ness. 🙂
Here’s a bit of spoiler of what I’m planning to put into the next package, assuming I can get enough of them to send to everyone: http://www.youtube.com/user/CandyJapanese
I’ll link back to your blog from the site, maybe you can get some new readers 🙂
This sounds awesome. Of course, I’d be handing the eel ones to my husband and letting him at them. I used to get tons of Japanese candy from Kotobukiya, but I’m no longer down the street from the place.
You have gone mad. But I respect you for it.
Oh my god. I have died and gone to heaven. I must subscribe to this.
omg now THIS is a cool subscription service!
