Skoshbox - My Monthly Subscription Box

Maybe 2 years ago, I decided I wanted to get in on the trend of monthly subscription boxes.  I did some research, and found Skoshbox, a company that sends out a box of Japanese snacks every month.  They have two box sizes, I get the smaller one.  Below is the contents of my November box.

Each box comes with a card explaining what's inside of it.

This is a picture of everyone in my box.  The knife is to cut things to share with my mom.

Strawberry milk candies.  I don't love strawberry, so these were only okay to me.

Senbei - extra crunchy baked rice crackers.  Again, these are not my favorite, but Japanese people seem to have a ton of senbei snacks!

Milk flavored biscuit cookies.  These were very yummy and I love the cute dinosaur pictures on them!

Sesame mochi cake chocolates.  These were so weird that my mom and I spit them out.  Sorry to anyone who likes them.

Chocolate filled marshmallows.  These were one of my two favorite things in the box.  I don't know why Americans don't have filled marshmallows, but we should!

Almond cream filled chocolate biscuits.  These were amazing and I want to eat them all the time!  Thankfully, my mom let me have most of them :)

Skoshbox doesn't even know I'm writing this post, I just wanted to share this amazing box I get.  If you all like it, I'll share every month.

Do you have any monthly subscription boxes??

SB Axxess Blogging...Year 3 #6 - Ichiban Sushi

Okay, getting better.  We followed Chinese Food with Japanese food and went to Ichiban Sushi on the Mesa in Santa Barbara.

We had never been to Ichiban Sushi before and were excited to try out a new place.  They have everything you could want at a Japanese restaurant.  They had a long list of appetizers, sushi rolls, different bowls, tempura, boats, bento boxes, and teriyaki meats.

My mom and I both ordered bento boxes, and we shared an agedashi tofu appetizer.

The yummy miso soup starter

Agedashi tofu is basically deep fried tofu in a yummy sauce, and benito (fish flakes) on top

Potato salad in the bento box.  It was interesting...but I enjoyed it.

The salad with a really yummy, thick dressing.

California rolls.  The smelt roe on top was a bit salty for me but my mom really liked it.

The teriyaki chicken...I had enough food to eat lunch the next day also!

Look at how much prettier the beef looks than the chicken, that's not fair!

The Axxess deal was buy 1 lunch, get 1 free.  I think we saved about $8 or so.  The staff there was very attentive and we liked their huge menu.  We have already talked about bringing my grandparents there the next time they come to visit.

Do you like Japanese food?  If so, what do you order?
