Our take
Bokksu is an the authentic Japanese snack box company and has been offering subscription packages direct to customers since 2016.
The company sets itself apart from long-time rival, Tokyo Treat with its exclusive partnerships with small, local Japanese merchants. While Tokyo Treat often sources from larger manufacturers, Bokksu's focus on authenticity and supporting local businesses has earned it a dedicated following among snack lovers who are looking for a genuine taste of Japan.
Thanks to its strong foundation, Bokksu has expanded its reach to even more exciting opportunities. Beyond its popular snack subscription service, it is also tapping into the fast-growing online grocery market. While competitors like Umamicart and Weee! may offer similar products, Bokksu stands out with its nationwide shipping, allowing it to stay ahead in an ever-evolving eCommerce landscape.
