Opportunity: Millennial consumers are seeking authentic experiences and high-quality products from Japan, but there are high barriers to entry for product offerings given language barriers and supply chain complexity.
Vision: To deliver authentic Japanese food and lifestyle products to customers around the world. The company partners with traditional makers throughout Japan to share their craft with over 100 countries via its snack subscription service, curated market of premium lifestyle goods, and online Asian grocery store. Putting as much care into its selection of products as it does sharing the stories behind them, Bokksu makes it easy for everyone everywhere to discover, buy, and love authentic Japanese goods while also supporting and preserving the artistry of those who make them.
