My 2024 bingo card didn't include having my face and Bokksu on Madison Square Garden's jumbotron, but I'm not complaining! I’m pumped to share that Bokksu won an award grant for being a proudly LGBTQ-owned business. As part of the grant, Chase Small Business Program invited us to attend a New York Rangers game and best of all I got the fun privilege of accepting a ginormous check for $10,000 😂 What a night to remember! #Bokksu #NHL #NYR #NYRangers #SmallBusiness
One of our March highlights? Meeting the Bon Appetit staff and hosting a tasting at their headquarters! This past week, Bokksu founder Danny Taing and a few of our teammates headed to 1 World Trade Center to share Bokksu’s mission and a few of our favorite snacks made by local makers in Japan. The Bon Appetit staff got to try: 🍘Daruma Senbei Rice Crackers 🍞Natural Yeast Bread with Hokkaido Cream 🍵Chocolate Azuki Beans in the Uji Matcha flavor 🍎Kajitsu Tappuri Fuji Apple Cake 🍓Bokksu White and Black Strawberries—the crowd favorite! The staff also got to fill the Bokksu tote bags with other snacks from our Bokksu Market Discovery Pack, Hello Kitty and Friends Snacks Box, and our classic Seasons of Japan Snack Box. We can’t wait to host more tastings this year! #Bokksu #SmallBusiness #BonAppetit #CondeNast

I did my first LIVE interview on CNN. Pinch me! 😳 I recently got the opportunity to chat with CNN Business Editor-at-large Richard Quest about Bokksu and our mission of sharing Japanese snacks with the world. I’m not gonna lie, it was disorienting to talk to a dark screen (nothing can fully prepare you for that!) while Richard’s voice was in my ear, but it was a lot of fun! Check out the interview below. https://lnkd.in/gTu83pg2 #CNN #RichardQuest #Entrepreneur #SmallBusiness #Interview

📣Big news: I’m thrilled to officially announce that Bokksu has acquired Japan Crate! This acquisition is a dream come true for me, and it now makes Bokksu the world’s largest online Japanese snack company. It still feels surreal. By welcoming Japan Crate into the Bokksu family, we are uniting two teams who have the same shared passion for bridging cultures through Japanese snacks. Together, we cover the full spectrum of Japanese snacks and candies, and we will now be in 5000+ retail doors with plans to continue expanding. From the traditional authentic snacks that launched Bokksu’s subscription to the trendy, pop-culture offerings that Japan Crate covers so well, we are now empowered to elevate the Japanese experience for snack lovers around the world 🚀 I could not be more grateful for all your love and support that has brought us to this point. Get ready to witness the game-changing growth to come from this union! #bokksu #japancrate #sugoimart
