Thoughts of Japanese snacks may evoke images of multicolored Pocky sticks and matcha-flavored Kit Kats lining Asian supermarket shelves. But what about a white chocolate-raspberry rye cookie, or a fluffy mango chiffon cake? Or airy puffs of shrimp-flavored or soybean powder-coated toasted mochi that crunch, then all but melt in your mouth?
Such are the treats you might find in a Bokksu, a subscription snack box filled with gourmet offerings sourced straight from Japan. Forgoing mass-produced, mainstream options, Bokksu works with local, artisanal snack makers from Okinawa to Hokkaido to curate monthly assortments of authentic Japanese snacks.
