This month we celebrate fall in Japan. The autumn moon viewing tradition or Otsukimi is a much anticipated event that dates back to the Heian period. In September or October (depending on the lunar calendar), people offer seasonal treats to the moon. A celebration of thanks to the moon and appreciation for the harvest. Sound familiar? You will find apples and sweet potatoes but, alas, no turkey. Let us have a look at the snacks that give thanks to the harvest moon.
Sweet Potato Langue De Chat
This crumbly butter cookie soothes your taste buds with the perfect blend of delicate white chocolate and creamy sweet potato.
Golden Sweet Potato Cake
The natural slight sweetness of this sweet potato cake is deliciously complimented by hints of cinnamon and rum.
Apfelstreusel
This light german style cake is sprinkled with cookie crumbs and contains real diced apples.
Sweet Potato Stick Cake
Soft and spongy, this stick cake is packed with the velvety richness of real sweet potato. It is truly an autumn delight.

Many new favorites were discovered this month. Another super offering from Bokksu. I truly appreciate the dedication and attention that goes into each snack selection. I really like the way that some snacks are takes on classics from other cultures like the German strudel or fruit cake from Europe and North America. But I think my favorite aspect of Bokksu is that they include tea in their boxes. It always makes a great combination with some of the cakes and cookies. This month's box is jam-packed with items. So many great flavours it is hard to pick a favorite. Did you have a clear winner this month?
