ABOUT US

The Story of Bokksu

Furthering our mission to bridge cultures through authentic food.

Our Founder

After living in Japan, founder Danny Taing fell in love with the delicious local snacks he had discovered.

In 2015...

Danny came back to the US with a suitcase full of snacks to share. His friends and family agreed: the snacks were amazing, but no one could find them in America. Many of the snacks were local specialties made by family businesses that didn’t sell overseas. So Danny decided to change that.

Continuing our mission

Since 2016 Bokksu has grown from Danny packing boxes himself in his living room to a fast-growing company offering much more than a monthly subscription box.
