Japanese candy is a coveted treat in the Western world if solely for the fact that many of the flavors and textures appear to be extremely experimental and, of course, foreign. With that in mind, it comes as no wonder that a subscription delivery service has been created revolving around Japanese candy for United States residents.
Founded by Hank Rao, Japan Crate is a playful venture that would be a great indulgence, especially during the Halloween season. Rao says, "With Japan Crate I hope to share the experience of Japanese candy in a fun and affordable way. We send you a ton of carefully-chosen full size Japanese candy in a big box every month." No longer will those traveling across seas be harassed to bring back a slew of Japanese candies for friends and family.
