Bokksu Founder, Danny Taing, is reinventing snacking as a highly sophisticated cultural affair. Taing lived in Japan for many years and fell in love with traditional Japanese culture and the myriad of unique flavors he experienced. Upon returning to New York City, he was disappointed when he was unable to continue enjoying his favorite Japanese snacks. Taing admits a deep passion for Japanese snacks & culture and was inspired to create Bokksu.

Poised to redefine worldwide snacking traditions as they near their 2 year anniversary this May, Bokksu is the only subscription box service of its kind delivering a curated mix of gourmet, traditional, and longtime family-favorite snacks directly from Japan. A combination Tasting Menu and Culture Guide is included in every Bokksu along with a tea pairing for the box to further create opportunities to slow down, enjoy a snacking ritual, and invite loved ones to explore with you and join in!
Rare, gourmet, sought after snacks and delicacies are included in each box. For example, April’s “Blossoming Spring” box which features the the world’s first white chocolate-infused strawberry – made with organic strawberries and white chocolate by innovative producer Qua. Previous boxes featured limited edition Kit Kats such as Mandarin Orange and exclusive collaborations like the heavenly Caramelized Apple Cobbler from world-renowned Japanese pastry shop ChikaLicious.
Bokksu is both a premium subscription based offering and an à la carte menu of gourmet Japanese snacks, the only service of its kind sourced, boxed, and shipped directly from Japan. Monthly boxes contain an assortment of savory and sweet snacks as well as a curated pairing of Japanese tea. In addition, a Tasting & Cultural Guide is included that shares the story and flavors of each item in the box.
We received a complimentary Bokksu gourmet snack box to try out for all of you. Once it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see how many items you get within the box and everything is individually packaged. There are snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth and snacks to satisfy that salty or crispy craving.
Inside our box we received the Bokksu sampling guide. It gave us information on the Blossoming Spring box, along with some information on the Japanese culture & traditions.
I really enjoyed reading over the comprehensive list in the guide of every snack goodie that we received in our box. It lists the product name, where it came from and gives you detailed information about it. One of my favorite items from the box was the Pocky Double Strawberry which is a thicker Pocky with a creamy coating of strawberry cheesecake on a short chocolate cookie stick. My husband’s favorite item was the Suppa Mucho Stick in Sour Plum which are old-fashioned crispy potato sticks that are seasoned with a tangy sour plum seasoning. Remember snacking on potato sticks as a kid? Well, these are the grown-up, gourmet adult version! YUMMY GOOD!

This subscription box peaks my interest. i would be very curious about Japanese snacks.
Very interesting. I know so very little about Japanese snacks. I would like to try this out.
If I were to get a subscription box it would be one with food since I don’t need any more THINGS. I like that they have a tea pairing with the snacks.
I am just fascinated by Japanese snack foods or any culture’s foods. This looks like a whole lot of fun! It is amazing the different twists on snacks presented. I would try them all!
This looks like such a fun box to give as a gift. I think I would also love to get a subscription for myself it sounds so yummy.
