In the world of Japanese boxing, there are two giants clashing. If you're French, you probably know Candysan (RIP), but today we will talk about two companies that are competing for the US and global market.
Bokksu is an American company, based in New York, which has been offering Japanese boxes since 2016. Subscribers receive a selection of traditional and artisanal snacks each month, accompanied by a cultural guide on the regions of Japan where the snacks come from, as well as a tea bag.
Bokksu is considered one of the pioneers in the market and recently received a 22 million investment for a company that is valued up to 100 millions of dollars!
Tokyo Treat is a similar company, whose history dates back to 2015 when its founder, Ayumi Chikamoto, had an idea after sending snacks to her friends living abroad. Unlike Bokksu, Tokyo Treat is based in Japan.
