Bokksu Box #4 Review: Hokkaido Wonderland

Theme: Hokkaido Wonderland

Arrived: November 16

# of Unique Snacks: 15 + 1 tea

Key takeaways: They have been using this theme every December box for the last three years and it shows, for better or worse.

The Shipping: Nov. 6: Shipping label created → Nov. 9: Made it the U.S. → Nov. 16: Made it to my house!

The Contents: 15 unique snacks (19 total individually packaged snacks) and one green tea pairing + the usual culture guide and postcard. I weighed the food myself this time, and for the curious, Bokksu's ingredient information applies to only single packages of the snacks. That means this box had 439 grams of food.

——❄️——

On the Theme...

Hokkaido Wonderland refers to Hokkaido, the northernmost prefecture of Japan, known for high quality dairy products. They also have hot springs and snowy winters, thus making them a reasonable choice for a winter-themed box. Now, I knew these details just from talking to June about Japan, but this is what the culture guide told us about Hokkaido:

Pretty neat.

They also seemed to slip in a lot more specific regional facts into the food descriptions this time, including:

Hokkaido milk is considered the best in Japan.

Hokkaido produces the most milk in Japan.

Langue de chat cookies are one of Hokkaido's most popular souvenirs.

The Ainu are an indigenous people of Hokkaido.

The haskap berry, a native fruit of northern Japan, is named from the language of the Ainu.

Since this is the first Bokksu theme I've gotten that focuses on a specific region of Japan, I appreciate the diversity of details provided and that they committed to making 7/15 snacks from Hokkaido. It's not that much more expansive than their previous culture guides, but I still did learn something new.

As for flavors, this box stayed solidly within the typical bounds of a Bokksu box while meeting the theme i.e. it was mostly sweets (only three savory snacks) with an overall cohesive flavor profile. The flavors this time were cream, white chocolate, and tart berries. As you may know from my sweets basket review, I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate so that wasn't my ideal utilization of the Hokkaido milk flavor, but it had its benefits, as we'll discuss below.

——❄️——

Snack Review

What's interesting is this box had a number of repeat snacks from previous boxes, just with flavor variations. That has its pros and cons, but one thing's for sure is that it helps to tell you what you may or may not like. If you haven't read the previous reviews, you can check them out here. But to mix up the review structure this time, I wanted to make some direct comparisons between these familiar snacks with my updated thoughts.

New Flavors of Old Snacks

Repeat #1. Tsukisamu Anpan: Kabocha Pumpkin / Previous showing: Bokksu Box #1 Review: Seasons of Japan, Tsukisamu Anpan Chocolate

I wanted to have this one first because frankly the last anpan we had was so mid, I wanted to get this out of the way while we still had liquid to down it with.

Luckily, this Japanese-pumpkin-white-bean-paste filling anpan was a significant improvement over the first "brownie" anpan we had, if only because it wasn't absurdly dry and completely overwhelming in bean paste flavor. The pumpkin flavor still didn't really come through (probably because anything mixed with bean paste will turn into a bean paste flavor), but it did make for a simple pastry bun snack. My opinion of the anpan improved this time around.

Repeat #2. Ginza Rusk: White Chocolate / Previous showing: Bokksu Box #2 Review: Full Moon Rising, Ginza Rusk: Chocolate

The fancy cube wafers are back! Only this time, instead of Ghanian cacao beans, they're flavored in white chocolate made with Hokkaido milk. The quality of milk in white chocolate is quite critical, given that white chocolate literally is just milk, sugar, and cocoa butter. Done wrong, white chocolate tastes like boring creamy sugar with a funky aftertaste. Thank goodness Ginza Rusk delivered yet another high quality cookie snack. Fragrant milk essence infused every bite with light but rich flavors, and the Hokkaido milk did not disappoint in its quality. For a snack that had the potential to be very basic, these have now twice been elevated by the high quality of the simple flavors they deliver.

Repeat #3. Hokkaido Haskap Gummy / Previous showing: Bokksu Box #3 Review: Cha Cha Tea Time, Nanko Ume Plum Gummy

This one raised my eyebrows in that we literally had this same brand of gummies in the previous box—but they were also a top-ten-ranking snack overall, so I'm not actually complaining....

No seriously, these are the superior gummies. Whatever they got going on with the texture, gumdrops makers across the world need to adopt ASAP. The flavor this time was haskap berry, "a native fruit of Northern Japan... known for its distinct aroma and sourness." I'm not usually one for sour stuff but hell yeah, I could eat a bag of these!

(I didn't though, my mom ate them all first, like I blinked and they were gone 😐)

Not An Exact Repeat: Hokkaido Haskap Langue de Chat (upper left)

3/4 of the boxes have had Japanese langue de chat cookies in them, and I got even more langue de chats in the sweets box earlier this year. So yeah, I've had a lot of langue de chats. They're probably among my favorite snacks to receive though because:

They're reliably good in their simplicity

Their variations standout from each other

The beauty of the langue de chat is that you can make many variations where a different center filling or cookie flavor still really pops, and yet you can still fall back on the reliable crisp double cookie with white chocolate base filling for an above average biscuit. These haskap berry flavored cookies used the tartness of the filling to contrast nicely against the buttery cookies.

——❄️——

Return of the Hokkaido Favorites?

Like I said before, Bokksu has done a Hokkaido Wonderland theme every year for their December box since at least 2020. Sakuraco did something different in 2022 but otherwise, has also been using Hokkaido for winter boxes, including their upcoming end of 2023 box. (Expect another comparison blog next month.) But focusing on Bokksu for now, I think this is the only theme where they don't mix it up with different angles on a similar theme (ex. Otsukini vs. Autumn Harvest), and thus we get some exact snack repeats. Here's the repeat snack types+makers we have from previous years:

Hokkaido Shimaenaga Milk Bouchée / 2022: exact same as 2023

Hokkaido White Raspberry / 2022: Snow Mimosa Cookie / 2020: exact same as 2023

Sekkasei Cookie: Rich Strawberry / 2022: Sekkasei Cookie (this brand is from Hokkaido)

Hokkaido Umami Cheese Potato Chips / 2022 & 2020: Potato Chips: Hokkaido Rich Butter

Just to be clear, I'm not knocking this repetition by pointing it out. There's something to be said for tradition, especially during the end of year, when traditions are a major part of food and celebration. But for people who may be thinking of renewing subscriptions for multiple years or maybe buying the December box as a gift, it's something to know, since they seem to generally avoid such explicit repeat themes during other months.

Now for a rapid review of the apparent Hokkaido favorites!

Hokkaido Shimaenaga Milk Bouchée: A dry twinkie. Would not have again. Cute packaging tho.

Hokkaido White Raspberry: The white chocolate and dried raspberry coating was not nearly as generous as pictured, but the puffy rye cookie was sweet & salty between the airy layers, and unexpectedly good! Would try again.

Left: 2023 cookie / Right: 2022 cookie. The description bragged that "Cosine Universe utilizes four kinds of Hokkaido milk products to produce a snack that will disappear on your tongue in twenty seconds!"

Sekkasei Cookie: Rich Strawberry: They were not kidding about the "melt in your mouth" texture. It's like if you bit into a super soft and dense shortbread cookie, but then half the thing dissolved into air on your tongue before you could get to chewing it. A little confusing but tasty once you get used to that. The real problem was the artificial strawberry flavoring that tasted like what they put in dental toothpaste. Would try the white chocolate flavor.

Hokkaido Umami Cheese Potato Chips: They smelled extremely cheesy, like a strong gouda, but the taste itself did not have that distinct cheese or milk flavor — that is, until you finished chewing and were left with a sweet yet somewhat buttery aftertaste. As the only cheese item in the Hokkaido box, I wish it went heavier on the cheese, but it's still a good snack. Also, the bag is huge but only comes like half full, probably to keep the extremely thin-cut chips from turning into dust before opening. Would have again.

——❄️——

The Remaining Snacks!

Left: Soft Sakura Mochi: I've always wondered what sakura flavor is supposed to be, and uh, I guess it is just the floral scent paired with sugar, huh? That said, we are still not mochi people.

Right: Sapporo Coffeekan Cafe Latte Chocolate: Mmm, like eating warm coffee ice cream with coffee nib sprinkles. If only it were more than a one-inch square.

(Anyone in the US interested in a similar, slightly darker chocolate should try the Kyoto Style Cold Brew Chocolate of the Chocolates of the World brand. I only say this because I happened to get a bar the next day and they're similar enough that it fills my desire to have a whole bar of these.)

Left: Koganeimo Golden Sweet Potato Cake: At some point, you have to ask why you're not eating an actual sweet potato instead of this oily imitation.

Right: Hokkaido Azuki Dorayaki: This "sweet red bean paste sandwiched between two pancakes" tastes exactly how it sounds, except slightly drier than you'd want.

Left: Curry Cashew Nuts: There were six fucking nuts in that bag. For a featured snack, I have to say: seriously? At least they didn't taste too special, just cashews coated in good curry powder, but god, you're not allowed to show a whole cup in the pictures and then provide six fucking cashews.

Right: Black Thunder: Shifuku no Butter: Good chocolate, good cookie, great "cultured butter from Hokkaido and France" which helped the whole thing melt into your tongue as you chewed. I would love a box of these!

——❄️——

And finally, one of the most memorable snacks of the night: Onigiri Senbei: Ginshari

"Oh but Glissando," you might be thinking, "I thought you weren't a 'senbei' person. You keep comparing them to Quakers' boring ass rice cakes but crunchier."

And I stand by that! For the previous senbei at least.

But these senbei, well, they were actually really good. A solid 8/10 from both me and my friend. Not only were the two senbei per package presented in an appealing triangle shape, they had depth to their outer saltiness that benefitted from the plain center, and the ratio of plain to seasoning was balanced enough to make you want to keep chewing and reach that perfect blend of warm rice taste.

Finally, I see the appeal of the senbei!

But you know what the most memorable part of this snack was i.e. the part that will ingrain it into my brain forever?

THIS FUCKING SPOT-THE-DIFFERENCE GAME ON THE SNACK PACKAGING.

Can you spot the three differences between the two images??? Because after staring at this triple-layered polypropylene under shitty cafe lighting for 15 minutes, my friend and I only came up with two differences and after checking the answers on the back of the bag, I am still pissed we did not get that last one on our own.

THE END

——❄️——

jk I still have the tea.

We didn't have the tea with the snacks this time because, ya know, one bag of tea served at 160ml, as per the Bokksu instructions, is not enough for two people to eat 15 snacks with. But I did end up having the Hon no Kimochi Green Tea on my own later and it was perfectly nice if you like green tea. It had that classic bitterness with a refreshing aftertaste that turned just slightly sweet by the end. It pairs nicely with sweets.

In my opinion though, this was definitely enough tea leaves to make a whole pot of tea. Steeping it in only one cup, as per Bokksu's instructions, made for an extremely strong flavor.

——❄️——

Final Notes

The stuff I usually put here, I already spread out through the rest of the review, so. Um. That's all, I guess.

See you next time 👋

meg meg!! congrats on 400 :’) for your aesthetics matchup:

the softest vibes like fuzzy blankets and fairy lights and hot cocoa with whipped cream and mini marshmallows on top // polyglot saying "i love you" in different languages // makes the best fruit tarts // sleeping at 6am when she should really be in deep sleep already for Growth and Health purposes // suffered through grainy yoghurt for weeks on end until the descent of cheese bread // claims to be an atsumu stan but like :| // soy milk over cow milk but only because she hasn't tried hokkaido milk // gintama but also devours the Saddest shoujo manga and movies // biweekly melona despite Acidity // fresh 油條 and beignets at 2am // 5' bc she doesn't sleep >:( // the sweetest, most sincere, and most supportive pnw 妹妹

Hello! I'm sorry if this request is a little difficult, but do you have any recipes for a vegetarian/vegan elfkin who really doesn't like eating all that much? I can't really handle anything too fattening or greasy or even sweets cause they make me sick and I have a problem with slimy textures. Anything light and delicate on the palette is fine, but I also like more savory things and the occasional spicy dish. Earthy things are great too. Thank you

Hi there!

Here are some light things that I hope will work for you.

Wild Garlic Pesto Snails

Ensaïmada

Microleave & Edible Flower Salad

Cucumber Sandwiches with Edible Flowers

Tomato Tart

Pansy Petal Pancakes

Garden of Eden Spring Rolls with Creamy Peanut-Ginger Dipping Sauce

Hokkaido Milk Loaf

Have a great day, thanks for the request. ^^ ♥

If you enjoy my content please contribute by buying me a coffee or becoming a patron! ♥

Bokksu Subscription Box - May 2019 Tour of Japan

Here is part two of May 2019’s Bokksu subscription box. Again, not sponsored.

Takoyaki Corn Puffs - Not much of a fishy flavor which I enjoyed, but a super crispy texture and mild corn flavor. Perfect for eating a whole bag without regrets. 5/5

Hokkaido Cheese Mochi Puffs - I was expecting this to be just a cheese puff but it’s super airy and crisp. Has a nice, non chemical cheese flavor. Actually melts in your mouth. 5/5

Seaweed Tempura with Sudachi - Very citrusy and salty, but after it got moistened with saliva the seaweed stuck to the roof of my mouth. 3/5

Kabukiage Rice Crackers Shiquasa Salt - Extremely citrusy, nice and light and crispy, a little bit salty. A pungent aftertaste of lemony fruit. Alarming for the first bite, but strangely addicting. 4/5

Strawberry Kirara - Best sweet snack in the box. Tastes like classic strawberry milk with a shortbread strawberry cookie. Has a nice tart strawberry flavor and super creamy filling. 5/5

Mystery Item - With the power of the google translate app and taking pictures of the back, these should be chocolate and strawberry candy coated black soy beans from the Hokkaido region. After tasting them, I seem to be correct! The outer coating has a nice strawberry flavor followed by a coating of dark chocolate, but there isn’t much of a flavor elsewhere. Not bad by any means, but nothing standout as far as a bonus item. 3/5

Pure Gyukoro Green Tea - Might as well include it since it was in the box. It smelled like lawn clippings. I did not taste this. N/A/5

2, 30, 82 & 97 for the asks!

2. is your room messy or clean?

My room is a constant mess my dude. I’ll clean up stuff off of the floor but that’ll be weeks before I clean things up. Bottomline: if it’s clean, there’s something wrong.

30. whats your favourite candle scent?

oh gosh. okay.

so my sister got me a cannabis scented one for christmas and it’s amazing. but my absolute favourite was a christmas special one that smelled like maple syrup.

basically, if it smells like dessert, my fat ass likes having it be lit.

82. favourite ice cream flavour?

my answer to this is complicated.

if we’re talking ice cream like pint ice cream, Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked. Or if that’s not available anywhere, mix a pint of B&J’s Choc Chip Cookie Dough and Fudgy Brownie. if we’re talking on popsicle, there’s this little gelateria place near me that does White Choc Matcha popsicles.

and for proper sundaes, i love love love Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart’s S’Mores, Please cheese ice cream sundae.

don’t judge me i’m fat

97. dark, milk, or white chocolate?

I do love me some dark chocolate.

Please ask me more questions!

Six Pack Milk Tea & Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart

Every Saturday I go to Crossover Dance Studios and most weeks I walk past the EasyWay on George St. Each time I walk past, the sex six pack bottles have caught my eye. Although I absolutely love milk tea/bubble tea, I rarely drink EasyWay but I thought why not pop by today for their novelty bottles.

They had both female and male versions of the bottle but Harry and I thought the male version was funnier so we ended up getting that. The bottles were limited edition for the 17th Anniversary of EasyWay idk how that relates but AHHA they look hilarious.

I got Jasmine milk tea (left) and my friend Harry got regular milk tea (right).

Mine was $5.80 AUD which wasn’t bad but the bottles were quite small and weren’t able to hold much milk tea and the drinks didn’t contain toppings.

The bottle was really detailed on both the front and back heheheh booty.

I don’t know why they covered up the ‘I’ in six and replaced it with an ‘E’, honestly the fact that it said ‘Sex Pack’ on the poster caught my attention and made me even more eager to purchase it why am I like this.

WHERE IS IT?

EasyWay Tea | Haymarket

653 George St, Sydney NSW 2000

After milk tea, Harry took Isy and I to try the famous Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart. These cheese-filled tarts have been quite popular in Asia through bakeries in Japan, SIngapore and Malaysia (from what I’ve heard).

The baked tarts are $3.90 each and the store limits the purchase of these tarts to a maximum of 6 per customer (they sure must be popular!). Luckily we didn’t need to wait for long today, the line was a bit long but they serve really quickly so we ended up getting our tarts in about 5 to 10 minutes.

The crust is probably jam-packed with butter so it was super delicious and melts in your mouth, similar to that of a shortcake. The cheese-filling was super fluffy and sweet, the taste is very rich, tasting quite similar to a cheesecake but not as heavy. Since they’re quite rich, the tarts are quite filling, one tart is the perfect portion and goes well as a desert after a meal. The tarts are super delicious and I would reccommend them!

Using up leftovers: week of 12/14/20

Sourdough multigrain sandwich bread

Grade: B+

I’m still searching for the perfect seeded sourdough bread. This was a bit closer since it called for more seeds than a previous version, and I left out the milk so it wouldn’t have a coconut taste like yet another version, but...I’m still not happy with the result. Still not the right taste.

And of course the texture isn’t fluffy enough. I might not use chia and poppy seeds next time, and focus on the larger seeds that might blend into the dough more nicely.

Recipe: multigrain sourdough sandwich bread from Bread Experience

Sourdough milk bread

Grade: B+

The taste was great, but the grade is for the texture, which is still not fluffy enough.

This recipe called for egg whites instead of both yolks and whites, and I tried out evaporated milk (the thin part because I left the fat at the bottom, see the Hong Kong egg tarts section). The dough was very smooth and fragrant, not sure if it’s because of the egg whites. Lovely to work with even though it was very liquidity and maybe I would use it for flaked brioche.

I’ll try baking with Pullman lid on next time - size seems good for it and maybe I would no longer have the burnt rim.

Recipe: Hokkaido milk sandwich loaf from This Old Gal

Red bean mochi cake

Grade: A

I can’t say no to mochi. Especially not with red bean. I reduced the level of sugar slightly from the last time. It was amazing except I need to let cool in the oven - it deflated coming out of the oven and was also hard to remove without breaking.

Recipe: baked sweet nian gao from Du’s Doughs

Hong Kong egg tarts

Grade: B+

I made these with leftover tart shells and leftover evaporated milk (from the milk bread). The consistency was really thin at first and I realized I left the milk fat from evaporated milk (is it even possible if it’s fat free evaporated milk?) at the bottom of the can because I forgot to shake. Then I had to adjust for the increased volume of milk with more egg and sugar.

Surprisingly the filling tasted authentic, if a bit sweet. I would make it again but use maybe reduced fat evaporated milk instead.

Recipes:

Pastry from sourdough pie crust from Baking Sense

Filling from Hong Kong egg tarts from the Woks of Life

Chocolate truffles

Grade: B+

This was a bit of a disaster. I scaled up the double cream with heavy cream to accommodate the larger quantity of chocolate, and broke the double cream bottle. The double boiler got stuck. The chocolate was way too liquid.

I have some chocolate-dipped strawberries and some chocolate ganache that I might need to re-purpose. The chocolate still tasted nice but it’s hard to say it’s the best use of double cream since I can’t taste the creaminess.

Recipe: chocolate truffles from Taste Australia

Sourdough gingerbread cookie with cranberry and chocolate chips

Grade: B

I had higher hopes for these given how much I liked the plain version. I even used dark brown sugar to heighten the molasses taste since I used golden syrup to make up for the small amount of molasses I had. I’m not sure the cranberries went with the ginger taste, and not sure that cranberries and chocolate chips went that well together. It’s not bad, but it means I want to get more molasses to make more gingerbread.

Recipe: soft sourdough molasses cookies from Homemade Food Junkie

Custard tofu rice

Grade: B+

I didn’t make the tofu, I bought it at the Japanese grocery store expecting it to be a dessert actually (because custard). But the sauce that I thought was sweet was actually dashi broth. It tasted good on its own and quite good with cooked white rice.

Recipe for combination: egg tofu by Just One Cookbook

Golden fried rice with salmon and cauliflowers

Grade: B+

I was kind of intrigued by the idea of coating rice in egg yolk and then stir frying. I didn’t want to waste the egg white, so threw that in as well as fresh salmon and baby cauliflowers. It was a bit oversalted and I can’t really say I notice the egg yolk coating the rice. I might try duck egg next time so there’s a higher quantity of egg yolk.

Recipe inspired by: golden fried rice with salmon and furikake from Bon Appetit

Matcha vanilla crème fraîche Bundt cake

Grade: A-

I bought Vermont Creamery crème fraîche on a whim. Apparently it’s used as a creamier sour cream alternative. Since I’ve also wanted to bake this cake for a while, I decided to use it here as it’s gonna expire on Christmas Day.

The cream itself was okay, too sour for my taste still (I guess I wouldn’t like sour cream either), but the cake was great, especially after I reduced sugar by almost half (still a bit too sweet, hence the grade). I didn’t oil the pan enough so the cake didn’t make it out in one piece, so there’s no picture. Still happy to share with the family.

Recipe: matcha-vanilla sour cream pound cake from Baking with Jess
