Boy, there's a ringing endorsement! :-)

Ahahaha, I didn't realize it would come out that way. Rest assured the diabetes is genetic, and not from the consumption of delicious Japanese candy.

Was there another online service that inspired you to create Candy Japan, or was it filling a need that you yourself had?

I think I saw BirchBox and thought that sending surprises in the mail was an idea that might work for other things besides beauty products as well.
