  These renowned Tirolian roll cookies have been made using the same recipes and methods since the store opened in 1630. Using only the finest locally sourced ingredients from the island of Kyushu, they’ve continued to make these delicious treats for nearly 400 years. The inner cream filling comes in multiple flavors: chocolate (green wrapping), vanilla, strawberry, and coffee (brown wrapping).
  Tirolian Hat 
  
  The second most popular snack by Chidoriya. These wafer sandwiches are also handmade and are the perfect light snack for when you’re slightly hungry. They come in 3 flavors: lemon, strawberry, and coffee.
  Hanachidori 
  
  These moist manju cakes are made with top-grade finely milled bean paste. They come in two flavors: mellow white bean paste and the rich yellow bean paste mixed with egg yolks.
  Tirolian Chococrunch 
  
  These mini-waffle crunch cookies are made with locally produced milk and butter, and baked for hours at a low temperature. They’re then dipped in rich milk-chocolate and baked again to give it a crispy texture
  What's In the Box?

    

  Over 20 snacks from a 386 year old snack shop which have been passed down through the generations.

  All of the snacks from this store are still made by hand using the original recipes.

    

  Plus the popular snacks below:

  Pretz Corn: These pretzel sticks are super popular. This is the season Hokkaido winter corn flavor.

  Happy Turn: It's hard to describe these rice crackers but they are our personal favorites! They're both sweet and salty.

  Yaki Imo: Stone-baked Japanese sweet potatoes are very popular during the colder months. These mini cakes are made with real stone-baked sweet potatoes.

  Kuromame Senbei: These rice crackers have black beans baked right into them, giving them an earthy flavor.

  Lemon Yogurt Candy: A refreshing dual layered candy. Lemon on top, yogurt on the bottom.

    

Thoughts?

I loved getting this box at my doorstep, I love the fact that they are the only subscription box service like this that supports local japanese candy shops. The price is a little steep for me, I wouldn't order the 3 month or the 6 month, but this would be a excellent gift with a ton of meaning to it for someone you love.
