About Bokksu

Bokksu is a Japanese snack subscription service that was founded in 2016 by Danny Taing. It curates monthly boxes around a specific region, flavor, or traditional theme, featuring a mix of sweet and savory treats and tea, all sourced from small businesses. It has been featured in various publications and has over 106k followers on Instagram. The brand prides itself on introducing small Japanese family snack makers to the world and providing a cultural experience with each box, along with a 16-page guide to Japan and snack history. Pros of the service include a selection of 20 different items, an online marketplace to buy your favorite picks in bulk, a referral discount, free shipping for subscribing members, and a happiness guarantee. Cons include boxes that are slightly pricier than other options, and discontinued Tasting boxes that were less expensive.

Bokksu Pros & Cons according to customers
