About Kokoro Care Packages
Kokoro Care Packages are founded by two friends, Lilian and Aki, who share much passion for health and fitness. They both believe that food plays an important role in nourishing our bodies and determining our health and wellness. They also have the first-hand experience in the positive benefits of eating a Japanese inspired diet and want to share these incredible foods with the rest of the world. So the idea of Kokoro Care Packages began.
Kokoro (written as 心 in kanji) translates into “heart” in Japanese, yet has a much deeper meaning. It represents the “spirit”, “soul” and “emotion”, and is the foundation of each of the Kokoro Care Packages. You can read more here.

I’d love to receive yuzu products. They’re so hard to find in North America.
We agree Ling. Especially organic yuzu products. The organic yuzu red pepper paste we included in one of our previous Care Packages was a favorite and something we’ll be looking to include in future packages. We’ll also look to include other yuzu products as well. Thank you for the suggestion!
Id like seasonal ingredients 🙂
That’s something we try to focus on, especially as eating seasonally is such an important part of the Japanese diet. Thank you for the suggestion Elise!
I subscribed to the Kokoro Care Packages newsletter. I would love to receive the Yuzu Gosho (Organic Yuzu Red Pepper Paste) in my care package.
That was definitely a favorite from our previous Care Package and something we’ll be brining back in the future. Thank you for the suggestion and for the support Kaname!

Subscribed to kokoro. I’d like to get manju or amanatto, as fresh as possible. We can only get packaged overly sweet manufactured manju around here. I miss them!
We completely understand BRC! One of the reasons we started Kokoro Care Packages was to deliver real Japanese foods (including sweets) that aren’t overly manufactured or overly seasoned, especially with added sugar. Thank you for the suggestion and good luck!

Just signed up for the Kokoro newsletter, and I’m of course already on the Just One Cookbook newsletter!
I’d really love to get some soy sauce, or a similar product. When my wife and I visited Japan, I picked up some locally made soy sauce in either Nara or Uji (can’t remember now), as well as some kind of a bean paste. I think the bean paste was made as part of the soy sauce-making process.
This is a great suggestion, thank you Matthew! Regional specialties always have a deeper, more unique flavor in our opinion. We’ll look to include a soy sauce and soy-based products in the future. Good luck!

Just subscribed to the Kokoro newsletter. And deciding what Japanese food I would be most excited to receive is really difficult. That would depend on the time of year, but since it is now going into Spring, I supposed something with sakura as the main flavor would be perfect 🙂
We agree Kristina! With so many incredible Japanese foods to choose from, it’s hard to pick a favorite. We hope our sakura inspired April Care Package has many of the foods you like. Good luck!

I am most excited about receiving all different kinds of Japanese seasonings in the Kokoro box. I have already subscribed to JOC email.
Glad to hear you like Japanese seasonings as much as we do Tracy! We always include a Japanese sauce or spice that can easily be added to any dish. Good luck!
Subscribed to Kokoro Care Packages! I would love to have some ume jam. I had the most amazing ume jam in Minato and have wanted some since.
Thank you for the suggestion Maria! We featured amazake jam in a previous Care Package and will do our best to find an ume jam for the future. Good luck!
I would love a good black sugar or yuzu kosho! I’ve also always wanted to cook with Inariage but have never hunted it down…
Kokuto is one of our favorite flavors from Okinawa and there are so many creative ways to use inariage. Thank you for the suggestions Audrey and good luck!
Subscribed to JOC newsletter! 😀
Omg after browsing Kokoro Care’s IG….RICE JAM!
That amazake jam was a unique find and had the perfect hint of sweetness. We’ll have to bring it back in a future Care Package!

I’m always intrigued with the Japanese culture and food, after being in Japan for work many times. I ‘d love to see some yuzu products -they are very scarce and not easy to come by.
It’s great that you get to travel to Japan for work May! We’ve been getting requested for yuzu products a will likely make it a future theme for one of our Care Packages. Thank you for the suggestion and good luck!
Subscribed to Kokoro Care Packages newsletter. Am looking forward to trying the sakura themed snacks in this care package!

I’d like to have some instant noodles or condiments, also anything that’s cherry blossom flavored would be awesome.
Oh maybe some pickled plum paste!
Thank you for the suggestions Jon! Our upcoming box will be full of cherry blossom inspired foods and the ume paste is on our list. Good luck!
I would love to receive a great jar of yuzukosho, as it adds the right amount of punch to any dish.
It’s definitely our favorite to add a little heat to our cooking and the organic yuzukosho we included in our recent Care Package was a favorite. We’ll be bringing it back. Good luck!

What an amazing package of Japanese products, finally something you can eat and enjoy without worry.
Thank you so much Holly! This is exactly the reason we started Kokoro Care Packages – to bring true Japanese foods and flavors to those outside of Japan so they can enjoy the real, pure foods the country is famous for!
I would also like to experience the sakura inspired items, and the canned white peaches, I love peaches and I’ve heard the white ones are amazing.
Japan has such unique foods. The white peaches are definitely a favorite! Good luck Holly!
Would love to receive anything that I can’t find at Nijiya Market. Maybe sakura products, premium japanese tea, interesting types of salt, wagashi… Thank you!
These are all great suggestions Muslima! We always try to source foods that aren’t readily available outside of Japan and of the highest quality we can find. We’ll add your suggestions to our list and good luck!
I love Japanese foods of all types, especially sushi and sashimi! It would be great to try the different types of teas and soups that they have to offer. Sake too!
Glad to hear you’re such a Japanese food enthusiast Cris! If only we could send you some sushi and sashimi in our Care Packages! Thankfully we always include a tea or soup. Good luck!

Cool!
Red miso from Sendai. I was there last summer and picked up a bag of Hatcho Miso, only to realize after I left that it wasn’t the same thing.
There are so many different types of miso and the flavors can vary dramatically. We’ll do our best to source as many different kinds as possible over time. Thank you for the suggestion Rebecca and good luck!

I would love some yuzu shichimi, I bought some on my most recent trip to japan and have used it super sparingly so that I can make it last longer.
Probably impossible, but mentaiko would also be great. The stuff we can get locally cannot compare…
We’re planning a yuzu inspired box in the future and will hopefully find some yuzu shichimi to include. Unfortunately mentaiko is likely too difficult to send overseas but we agree that it’s a great Japanese delicacy. Thank you the suggestion Joanne and good luck!

I just subscribed to the Kokoro newsletter. And I am considering subscribing to the boxes! Maybe for myself and my mother. I would be most excited for anything that can be the basis for a dinner – especially a quick one. As for my mom, I would love simple things – that she can eat as is, or cook in the microwave or pair with rice.
Very exciting!
Pam
Hi Pam! So happy to hear this and that you’ll be sharing our Care Packages with your mother! We like to include foods that are either ready to eat or convenient and easy to use. We actually included a chirashizushi mix in our March box that goes great with rice. Let us know if you have any questions and good luck!
Following your Instagram! I love your posts!
This looks AWESOME – I will definitely subscribe to at least one box. I grew up in Hawaii, and I can’t find a lot of the Japanese ingredients and flavors I enjoyed as a kid now that I’m living on the mainland. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words Heidi! One of the reasons we created Kokoro Care Packages was to help keep people connected to the foods they grew up with or experienced when in Japan. We know how difficult it can be to find Japanese ingredients (especially high quality ones!) outside of Japan. We hope you enjoy your Care Package and good luck!
I subscribed to the Kokorocares.com email list and visited their site. Wow, what a great idea. I think that I would be very interested in spices and sauces, as I am always trying to adjust mine, in my cooking, and never quite ‘get there’. Of course, I would love to try any authentic item offered; what a treat.
Thank you for all your kind words Mark! We’re so happy to hear you like our idea. We always include at least one sauce or spice in our Care Packages so people can easily add it to any dish. We can’t wait to see what you create! Good luck!

I would love to receive this because I can use it for my Japanese cooking!!
Hi Judi! So happy to hear from a fan of Japanese cooking! Hopefully the products in our Care Package will inspire your creations. Can’t wait to see what you create! Good luck!
I love to receive yuzu flavored mochi in my care package! I love to eat it in Japan and I haven’t been able to find it in the US!
Yuzu flavored mochi! A great idea! I definitely haven’t seen it in the US either. Hopefully we’ll be able to include one in an upcoming Care Package. Good luck!
Wonderful! We have been enjoying the recipes you shared. We just signed up for your newsletter. My kids love the cream soup with rice. We added lots of veggies. Thank you!
I look for sakura items to try. I also hear great things about yuzu.
We’ll be creating a yuzu inspired Care Package in the future Erin. Good luck!
I have subscribed to Kokoro Care Packages Newsletter.
I can’t say for sure what I’d love to receive in a package but I am simply excited at the prospect of being exposed to more Japanese food options!
So happy to hear this Eilene! One of our goals is to introduce people to new flavors from Japan also delivering some favorites. Good luck!
Subscribed! Nice to see products without additives
Thank you Tyler! One of the reasons we created Kokoro Care Packages was out of frustration with all the additives and chemicals that can be found in many packaged Japanese foods.

I would like to try the red pepper paste
We sincerely hope you enjoy your trip to Japan Helene! It’s truly a wonderful place with so many incredible sights to see, people to meet and of course food to taste. Our Care Packages not only make for a great introduction to real Japanese food, but also as a way to bring some of those flavors back home with you. The organic red pepper yuzu paste was a favorite! Good luck!
Oh, I’d love to try ANY new Japanese ingredient! I see some of this stuff at H-Mart in Massachusetts but I’m not sure how to use it all – so this sounds perfect for me!

Kokoro care packages look so inspiring – makes me even more interested in discovering Japanese culture and cuisine; I’ve heard of the condiment consisting of yuzu and specical green japanese peppers, maybe Kokoro will carry it in their future boxes.
Thank you for your kind words Marina! We hope we can inspire people to try new Japanese foods and flavors. The organic yuzu red pepper paste was a favorite so we’ll be sure to bring it back in a future Care Packages. Good luck!

I would be most excited to see pickles, I bought some mushroom pickles in Japan & they were so good. I have yet to find anything here in America that even comes close to the same sweet earthy flavor- even in Asian markets!
We love tsukemono and will see if we can find some pickled mushrooms to include in the future. Thank you for the suggestion Kaylee and good luck!

Thank you for your kind words Summer! One of the reasons we started Kokoro Care Packages was to make it easy and convenient for people to enjoy high quality Japanese foods delivered straight from Japan to your door. We know it can be difficult to source many of these foods (some of which can’t be found outside of Japan) so we make it easy by bringing them to you every month. Good luck!
What a delight to watch you cook!
Great package….you get to sample many different items.
That’s right Caroline! We like to introduce people to many different tastes and flavors every month. We hope you enjoy it and good luck!
I subscribed to the Kokoro newsletter, but just to let you know, your link goes to a page with a 404 error. I would be most excited to try the Yuzu Red Pepper Paste as I’ve never had anything like that and love spicy food.
The organic yuzu red pepper paste was a favorite from our previous Care Packages and we’ll be featuring it again in the future. It adds a wonderful heat without being overly spicy. Although a little goes a long way. If you love spicy foods than we’re sure you’ll love yuzu kosho! Good luck Keith! PS thank you for pointing out the error.
Thanks, Nami.

I subscribed to Kokoro’s newsletter. I live in Los Angeles and we have access to quite a lot of Japanese groceries, but I would love to get some local rice Koji or some specialty ume product. This is such a great idea, I’m seriously considering signing up for a monthly box.
Thank you Paula! We’re actually based both in Tokyo and LA as well! There is certainly a wonderful Japanese community here in LA and quite a few Japanese grocery stores to choose from. However, we still find that it can be difficult to find top quality foods such as those that are available in Japan. The rice koji we included in a previous Care Package was quite unique and we also featured organic umeboshi from Wakayama prefecture – an area famous for its ume production, but where only 1% of the ume produced are organic. We’ll definitely be featuring more specialty ume products in the future. Thank you for the suggestion! Our March Care Package actually includes a liquid organic ume paste while our Spring Seasonal Care Package features an ume vinegar. Let us know if you have any questions and good luck!
Your website is so well organized and informative! Ok, I’m convinced. I can’t wait for my monthly box to come in the mail 😄
Thank you for your kind words and support Paula! We can’t wait for your to receive your Care Packages! Let us know your favorites and feel free to reach out anytime. Thank you for joining the Kokoro Community!

I’d love to receive anything to do with Japanese tea, be it matcha, sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, or gyokuro, I love them all!
We love Japanese tea as well and included a very special indigo blue tea in our March and Spring Care Packages. There is usually a tea in almost every Care Package for you to enjoy. Good luck David!

I love japanese food
We’re happy to hear that Mike. We do too! Good luck!
Love your site Nami. Hoping to get lucky on the care package. 🙂
Good luck Marg!
I would love Japanese wagashi and dashi.
Japanese sweets have the perfect amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. And dashi has been requested a few times so we’ll certainly look to include a high quality one soon. Good luck Anna!

I would love to receive a Kokoro Care package with Dashi in it . I did not like the package thatI bought from a store before because it didn’t have English instructions so it didn’t taste good when I made the soup.
Thank you for the suggestion Judy! We always include English instructions as well as provide recipes on our site. We’ll be including a dashi in one of our future Care Packages. Good luck!

I would love to receive all-natural torigara soup base and yuzukosho in a care box
That’s a great suggestion. Thank you Janet! Our organic yuzukosho was also a favorite so we’ll be looking to feature it again in a future Care Package. Good luck!
I also can’t find in the US a kombu-cha that does not have MSG, amino acids, hydrolysed soy proteins, etc.. Same goes for furikake and dried shiso products. I would love to see non-MSG versions of these products in a care package as well!
Thank you for these suggestions Janet! We make sure all our products are free of additives and chemicals. We included a sansho shirasu furikake in our last February Care Package that contained baby white fish, sansho pepper leaves, sansho pepper seeds, East Asian wild parsley, soy sauce and sugar. No MSG or any other additives. We’ll continue to include products with only the highest quality ingredients!

I would love to receive flavors to help me recreate dishes from my mother. Also new ones to make her remember Japan. She is 91.
It’s so wonderful to hear how food can connect people t their memories. One of the reasons we created Kokoro Care Packages was to not only introduce people to real Japanese flavors, but to bring these flavors to people who enjoyed them in Japan but can’t find them as easily overseas. We truly hope your mother will remember these flavors fondly. My mother who lives in Toronto certainly does! Good luck Jeanne!

Thank you for entering an for your suggestion Orna. Good luck!
Hello, I just subscribed to the newsletters! Id love to receive seasonal, limited time items or things that recently became popular (for example, I think purple yam became a huge hit in Asia in the recent years and I don’t know if it’ll ever get to North America….). These are all hard to find elsewhere. Right now, this is the time for sakura flavored everything so that’ll be pretty exciting! I’m not sure if there’s a season for yuzu, but I think that’ll be fun too.
Hi J! This is a great suggestion. Thank you! We try to include as many seasonal items as possible and most of our items can’t be found outside of Japan. We’ll definitely be creating a yuzu Care Package in the future. Good luck!

A Japanese food that I would like to receive would be the green tea kit-kats, or some of the confectioneries.
Thank you for the suggestion Dorinda! Given that our focus is on healthier Japanese foods with natural and pure ingredients, we do not offer confectioneries such as Kit-Kats. However, we often include natural sweets that may be interesting for you to try. Good luck!

Hi Anna! Thank you for the suggestions. We’ll be featuring a yuzu inspired Care Package in the future and always include a spice/seasoning in each of our Care Packages. We’ll definitely keep you suggestions in mind. Good luck!
i hope there is some english on the label! LOL..bought groceries in Tokyo , but at home, I forgot what the jars etc were…with the exception of the Kewpie mayo!!
One of the reasons we created Kokoro Care Packages was to make it easier for those who don’t speak/read Japanese to enjoy all the great foods from Japan. We include all the English translations in every Care Package as well as suggested uses and recipes when necessary. Feel free to take a picture of the label and send it to [email protected] We’ll see if we can translate it for you 🙂 Good luck Peg!

And choose one item only? Very hard 🙂 both the nori paste and olive oil sound amazing and unique!
Thank you Sachi! And you’re more than welcome to like them all – we sure do 🙂 The olive oil was a very special find. It’s made in small batches in a seaside cafe in Ishigaki Island, Okinawa. It’s filled with local herbs and spices and goes great with bread, grilled vegetables and fish/meats. You chose one of our favorites! Good luck!
Thank you so much! Okinawa is beautiful and so natural, so it must taste amazing 😁
And already subscribed to your list 🙂 amazing recipes and really brings back lots of memories!

Sakura cherry essence or paste, even just a tiny amount to try in one recipe would make me happy as it is very difficult to find/ship to Canada
Hello to a fellow Canadian! Having grown up in Toronto I can understand your frustration with not being able to find a wide selection of high quality Japanese foods. That was one of the reasons we created Kokoro Care Packages. Hope you enjoy the items we’ve chosen for the April sakura-inspired Care Package. Good luck!
What a nice way to try unfamiliar and hard-to-find ingredients. And the boxes are pretty!
Thank you so much for your kind words Connie! We like to introduce people to new tastes and flavors and offer items they may not have tried before. Good luck!

I’d really like to get mitsuba!! It is very hard to find on the east coast if you are not specifically by a Japanese grocer.
Unique ochazuke would be a great addition besides the generic ones you can find in the US.
Thank you for these suggestions Kathryn! We like to include those hard to find items in our Care Packages and will look into sourcing some mitsuba and ochazuke (this is one of my favorites – such a warm and cozy dish!). Good luck!
What a fantastic giveaway, Very generous.
Thank you for the opportunity.
A couple years ago I had the good fortune to be in Japan for Sakura season . I tasted many Sakura delights, my favourite was the Sakura tea with a dorayaki. So delicious.
