The idea of Japan Crate came to me when I was in Japan early in 2014. I’ve always been into Japanese culture since I was a kid, so actually being able to go to Tokyo was like a dream come true. Once there, I immediately fell in love with Japan - the bright lights, delicious smells, crazy music.

That’s when I decided to start a monthly subscription box for Japanese candy and snacks. My plan was not only to send candy in a box, but to take the excitement, bewilderment, and happiness that I experienced from Japan and share that with everyone each month. Candy just happened to be the perfect vehicle for this. Thus Japan Crate was born, and in September of 2014 we officially started shipping our first crates.

Since then, Japan Crate has evolved into much more than another subscription box. Japan Crate is a monthly experience where you can enjoy the awesomeness of Japanese culture through the most exclusive candy.
