Where Danny Began
For Bokksu founder Danny Taing, time in Japan revealed both remarkable local snacks and the challenge of finding them in the United States.
The Access Question, 2015
Back in the United States in 2015, Danny offered Japanese snacks to friends and relatives. The response was clear, while availability was not: numerous local specialties were produced by family businesses that did not sell overseas, prompting him to act.
Beyond the Early Boxes
Bokksu connects its 2016 shipping milestone with Danny packing each box at home. From there, the company developed into an experience larger than its original monthly subscription format.

OPEN THE THEME ARCHIVEDanny Taing's Bokksu Notes
Among Japanese snacks, Danny chooses Nagano Prefecture's White Strawberry and describes it through crunch, tartness, and a not-too-sweet taste.
Danny has sampled over a thousand snacks; for him, the rewarding Bokksu moment comes when food lovers receive delight and culture, then share their reactions.
For Bokksu, the next chapter still begins with authentic Asian food and the connection it can create across cultures.
