A Fun Way to Connect with my Heritage

Bokksu was an incredible experience that allowed me to learn more about my Japanese heritage and share it with my friends, all while supporting traditional Japanese snack makers!

First, the packaging is absolutely beautiful. It corresponded perfectly with the seasonal theme and made enjoying the treats even more fun! I loved that the guide was so detailed with fun pictures and descriptions (it includes everything from common allergens to the cultural significance of each snack!) which were especially helpful since the packaging is in Japanese. My friends really enjoyed picking a random treat and seeing which season it corresponded with as well as what the accompanying flavor profile was for that season. Second, you get so much bang for your buck here! I believe I got 21 snacks total, ranging from savory to sweet. You really do get to explore a lot of different flavor profiles at an awesome value. Tasting the snacks really brought back a lot of childhood memories for me, and it was fun recognizing things my grandmother has shared with me. She is too old now to travel back to Japan, but I’m really excited that I now have a gift I can arrange for her to remind her of home! Moving forward, I will definitely be recommending this to friends as a wonderful gift option and continuing to purchase myself from time to time so I can continue learning! There’s something really special about learning through food. The fact that each box has its own theme means I can continue learning about different aspects of my Japanese culture and adds a fun element of surprise! I also love that I can support small businesses and feel connected to a part of who I am all from the comfort of my home!
