Bokksu is an American subscription service that sends subscribers local Japanese snacks and candies from Japan. It was founded by Danny Taing.[1][2] As of February 2020, Bokksu has 16,000 subscribers and $4.8 Million in revenue. [3] [4] [5]
History[edit]
Bokksu was founded by Danny Taing[6] in November 2015 in New York after spending four years working in Japan. Taing was frustrated with being unable to find Japanese snacks in the United States so Bokksu was founded as a solution. [7] [8]
Taing started the business originally shipping boxes directly from his living room before expanding to a rented warehouse in New Jersey.[9]
In the first two years, the company managed to sell 500,000 units to over 75 countries.[10] Items are packed in Osaka and then shipped worldwide.[11] It offers two types of services - classic and tasting, with difference in number of items and price.[12] [13] [14] [15]
In 2017 Bokksu and Nagano based chocolatier Qua invented a chocolate infused strawberry. The snack was invented using a new process that sucks all water content from organic strawberries and then re-hydrates them with white chocolate . [1]
As of 2019, Bokksu had shipped over 1 million snacks worldwide.[16]
In January 2020, Decathlon Capital Partners invested an unknown amount in Bokksu.[17] [18]
In 2020, Bokksu and the Japan External Trade Resource Organization : Kanagawa Prefecture announced a partnered subscription box featuring snacks exclusively from Kanagawa.[19]
In June 2020, Wired Magazine named Bokksu one of the top five best snack boxes of 2020.[20] Subsequently, in August 2020, CNET named Bokksu its overall best snack subscription box pick. [21] In February 2020, Bokksu partnered with the Crunchyroll Anime Awards and provided sponsored Anime inspired boxes as giveaway items. [22] In August, 2020, Bokksu announced it's sponsorship of Crunchyroll's Virtual Crunchyroll Expo. [23]
