Step into shinryoku—Japan’s “fresh green”—season with snacks made for fresh-air adventures and springtime escapes.
Step into the season of shinryoku—Japan’s “fresh green”—when the mountains come alive in vibrant hues. As the gentle shift between spring and summer brings perfect weather for hikes, strolls, and outdoor escapes, this box captures that spirit with snacks in calming green and white tones, inspired by nature. Light, energising, and easy to bring along, each treat is made for enjoying the great outdoors.
July is when Japan’s coast comes into its own—where blue seas, green shorelines, and bright summer skies set the tone for early holiday escapes. As the heat builds, the ocean becomes a natural retreat for beach walks, swimming, surfing, and breezy days by the water, while aquariums and seaside towns offer a calmer way to stay close to marine life.
Marking Marine Day (Umi no Hi), this season also celebrates the deep connection between island life and the sea, with coastal festivals, fresh seafood, and moments spent simply enjoying the shoreline in full summer light.
From flavour pairings and prefectures, to festivals and holidays, we carefully curate the most authentic Japanese snacks, candy, and teas to get a true feel of Japan.
