May's box has Zunda (crushed edamame paste) themed snacks from the city of Sendai.
Cheese Kibun Senbei
These are thin rice crackers baked with Japanese cheddar cheese.
Zunda Chiffon Cake
These soft Zunda-flavoured wheat cakes are filled with creamy custard. They're a local delicacy.
Sendai Zunda Tart Cookie
A light butter cookie topped with a tart mixture of Zunda and almond glaze. The slight earthiness of the Zunda compliments the sweetness very nicely.
Shiogama
Shiogama is a snack made by a Buddhist temple in Sendai. Each piece is carefully handmade using the original recipe and techniques passed down since 1600. The outer layer is made with a mixture of finely milled, locally produced rice from Miyagi, shiso (Japanese basil) from Sendai, and premium sugar from Tokushima. The inside is filled with lightly salted Azuki red bean paste.
Ko-Ume Candy
Slightly sour candy made with Japanese ume plum. A unique mix of sweet and sour.
Zunda Manju
Soft thin-skinned rice cake filled with a slightly sweet Zunda filling.
Zunda Bamboo Dragon
Mini Japanese sweet rice cake made from local Mochiko (rice flour), filled with sweet red bean paste.
Morinaga Matcha Azuki Cake
Fluffy matcha green tea cake sandwich filled with Azuki red bean cream.
Kani Crab Chips
Airy wheat chips made with Japanese crab.
Zarajiman
Senbei rice crackers covered with large Japanese sugar crystals.
May's Snakku had plenty of interesting snacks, but personally I'm not a fan of all the red bean filled snacks, so this box didn't have too much I liked this time. At least with Snakku you can expect to find very unique snacks that you won't easily find here.
