We had to include these cute mini chocolates for their festive rabbit design! They have a sugary outer shell and rich cocoa center. This snack was inspired by one of Japan’s most famous folktales: Tsuki no Usagi, “The Rabbit on the Moon”, which is often told to children during Otsukimi while gazing at the full moon. There’s even a children’s song called Usagi meaning “rabbit”!

This rich dark chocolate cake is absolutely decadent thanks to the use of couverture chocolate, which contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter than the standard chocolate used in baking. Each bite opens with a creamy and intense chocolatey flavor and finishes with a splash of rum finishes that adds an aromatic note.

The first step in creating this addictive treat is simmering azuki in sugar syrup to make amanatto using a traditional process first created in the 1860s. However, snackmaker Denroku adds a modern twist by coating the beans with white chocolate and then finishing them with goma (black sesame) and kinako (roasted soybean powder). The kinako flavor stole our hearts away with its nutty, peanut buttery taste. Thanks to this innovative maker, the humble azuki bean has been transformed into a creamy, dreamy confection.

Using ofu (Japanese wheat-gluten) and seasoning from Kyoto, this perfectly baked assortment of smoked crackers and peanuts should be named UFO instead because it takes you to the moon! Ofu is another common alternative to tofu in Buddhist cuisine and is loved for being more flavorful and with a more dense texture than tofu. Thanks to the balance of peanuts, the seven-spice shichimi flavoring is heavy but not overpowering.

Fresh, full green tea leaves clean and simple in flavor. This tea shows off just why Shizuoka prefecture is known for having some of the highest quality green tea in all of Japan and the world. The name “Full Moon” tea comes from how the leaves are harvested within the 7 days before the full moon, where the tea is able to get a rich aroma and umami flavor by this particular harvesting practice. For those interested in the rhythm of the moon, you can find this tea to be especially energizing.

Team Bokksu absolutely adores all types of Japanese rice crackers, which is why we are thrilled to introduce the nure-agesen (moist rice cracker)! This beautifully-wrapped senbei is a little different from our usual crunchy variety that we feature in our boxes. Instead of the normal snap you might expect when biting into this snack, this cracker has a little bit more of a satisfying tear. Thanks to the added traditional flavors of ume (dried plum) and katsuo (skipjack tuna) flavor, you’ll be so enraptured with the umami flavors that you’ll be polishing the bag off in no time!

Sassy and lazy, Gudetama is a Sanrio character beloved in Japan and across the world! Because Gudetama is Japan’s most famous egg, we had to include him in our Moon Festival Bokksu. There are many Japanese dishes that feature a raw or fried egg and are called tsukimi because the egg looks like the full moon. This particular snack is fluffy, puffy, and flavored like the Japanese comfort food tamago kake gohan, which features hot rice, soy sauce, and a raw egg stirred into it. This puff stick has all the savory kick we’d expect with subtle notes of seaweed, sesame, and sugar from the furikake.

Inspired by the flavorful clear soup consomme that is made from bouillon, this snack is powerfully peppery. While consomme can sometimes be served chilled, the added black pepper in this snack makes that variation a distant memory and will give your tongue just a little heat and maybe a kick in the pants.
