    I just checked out JapanCrate's website. I'd say they're pretty identical, though I read a review that says JapanCrate's selection of snacks isn't quite as good as ToykoTreat's. The subscription prices are pretty similar, though, give or take a few bucks. Skoshbox is another one that has the same kind of setup, but generally it's the same kind of stuff. Meanwhile, TokyoTreat has free international shipping, which is nice. I like free international shipping.

    I just go with TokyoTreat because it's the first one I came across and they do have a neat take on candies and snacks. Plus I don't see too many repeats at all from month to month. Most of the time I save them just to have something to sneak into the movie theater or have as a quickie snack at my desk. But yeah, I'd say most of the time, you get lots of great stuff and it's not the kind of thing you'll find locally. But, every now and then, there's one snack here or there that just wasn't as great as you thought it might be (which is fine, because there's plenty of American snacks and candies that I'm not crazy about either, and these guys have no clue what your taste preferences are). But overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it. It's fun, neat, and it's something to look forward to each month.

    Yeah I actually only tried JapanCrate the first time because they offered me a free trial. It was pretty good. Like you said with you TokyoTreat (which I have seen advertised before now that I think about it) there was some candy with Pokemon branded on it. After having a successful trial I gave the bigger box a try next time. Honestly the next wasn't as great. I may give TokyoTreat a try later and see how it is.

    The time is upon us...
