Summer 2021's Most Popular Japanese Candy

Summer in Japan is HOT. Regular temperatures of over 40°C are an everyday experience and the humidity is not something to joke about. And when it’s not hot enough to cook an egg on the side of the road, expect heavy rain – especially in Japan’s rainy season. 

Even your friends over in the monthly Japanese snack box TokyoTreat team don’t leave the safety of our air conditioned office unless we absolutely have to. But with all the heat, you have to keep up your energy. We need to snack on some tasty Japanese snacks to refuel. 

The summer season in Japan is when we see a lot of fresh and fruity flavors come out – like tropical Okinawa citrus or coconut goodness, and we see these snacks pop up around June, July and August! But they tend to also leave as quickly as they come, with many Japanese snacks only being available for a few months or even just a few weeks.

So let’s check out TokyoTreat’s top 5 picks for Summer 2021’s best candy releases!
