Sakuraco is a subscription box specialising in authentic Japanese snacks, candy, and tea. The brand was founded in 2021 by Ayumi Chikamoto (who also launched TokyoTreat in 2015 which is a modern Japanese Candy & Snacks Subscription Box). Read my Sakuraco Subscription Box review to find out more.

Sakuraco’s Mission

Sakuraco’s mission is to make authentic Japanese snacks and artisanal goods available to everyone and to share Japan’s rich sweet history and local specialities with a global audience.

When creating the Sakuraco brand, founder Ayumi was driven by her love for the Japanese cultural tradition of pairing tea with sweets. She wanted to share and promote this Japanese tradition worldwide, foster a cultural exchange, while supporting small businesses too.
