I won’t be unhappy if there is kanten as an additional snack, or for any reason, frankly. The Sakuraco boxes are introducing me to plenty of good things.
Hi, thank you for the love! Hopefully, we could continue introducing the world to many kinds of Japanese traditional snacks and goods! 😄
I received the Sakura Kanten, it’s really good and I prefer it over the sweet potato kanten.
