The best food and drink subscriptions to gift your love this Valentine’s Day 2025

The Japanese eat down to an art form. Bokksu knows this better than anyone, which is why it took the first place in the ranking of the best snack boxes I wrote earlier in the year. Bokksu collects some of the best snacks from Japan and compiles them into a one-off or recurring monthly tasting box.

I both give and get Bokksu and it’s always a hit. The best part about these high-end snack packs is that if you’re not familiar with them, almost none of the Japanese treats remind you much of the snacks more common in the US.

In the unmistakable bright orange boxes, you’ll find dishes like seaweed tempura, green tea and lemon cakes, alongside Japanese candies like yuzu gummies and matcha-strawberry kit-kachis. What’s more, Bokksu includes elegant literature explaining a little about each delicacy, including historical and cultural significance and where it is applied. Bokksu boxes start at $30 per month for subscriptions for one year supplies. That’s $40 for one shipment.
