Well worth it!
I bought a 3 month gift subscription for myself as a treat since I can't afford to have a subscription fee taken out every month. I have gotten 2, final one comes next month. First one was great, got here a week after shipping. Second one got here two weeks after shipping. But that isn't really Bokksu's fault. But they did communicate that it was going to be late before the initial predicted time came so it didn't catch me off guard. Second one didn't gave as many things I liked, but some wonderful new things to try nonetheless. Most snacks rate about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 for me. And that's okay to me. I do find a few that I absolutely love too. But for me, getting Bokksu isn't about the snacks specifically: its about the culture. I get to learn about the snacks, their creators, sometimes the history of the snack or ingredient, and more. The booklet provided is wonderful: tells about the snack and information about the theme: sometimes teaching a few words, an old poem or story, etc. For me, paying $40 for some wonderful cultural information, supporting small businesses, trying new things, plus finding some amazing snack finds to boot is WELL worth it. Plus, if I really liked something, I can check the market side of Bokksu to see if it's there for purchase. I also love that they have a Save Our Snacks box to help prevent food waste!
