TokyoTreat’s April 2025 subscription box, Sakura Nights Snackfest, takes inspiration from yozakura—Japan’s tradition of viewing cherry blossoms after sunset. The curated collection features seasonal snacks designed to reflect the sights, flavours, and textures of a spring night.
Here’s what was included in this month’s box:
Matcha Latte KitKats: Mini KitKats with a blend of green tea and vanilla cream, wrapped in a crispy shell. Designed to evoke the taste of a matcha latte.
Sakura Castella Cake: A moist sponge cake with a strong cherry blossom flavour.
Sakura Sandwich Cookies: Gingerbread-style cookies filled with creamy bean paste and a subtle sakura twist. Lightly sweet and crisp.
Twilight Truffle Chips: Thin, crunchy potato chips coated in rich truffle seasoning. A savoury option for late-night snacking.
Strawberry Rice Puffs: Crisp and airy puffs with a mild strawberry glaze.
Perfect Ponzu Soup: Cup noodles featuring chewy rice noodles in a citrusy ponzu broth.
Springtime Senbei: Rice crackers coated in a sweet and savoury honey soy glaze. Crunchy and flavourful.

Sakura Matcha Wafers: Wafer rolls with matcha and sakura cream filling. Crisp texture with a blend of earthy and floral notes.
Sweet & Sour Gummies: Heart-shaped gummies in apple, peach, and grape flavours. A mix of tart and sweet.
Goodnight Grape Gummies: Grape cluster-shaped gummies in three flavours: purple grape, muscat, and melon soda.
