Danny Taing

Founder & CEO, Bokksu

Bokksu is a subscription box service and e-commerce marketplace that includes authentic Japanese snacks and teas.

I founded Bokksu to introduce foodies around the world to authentic Japanese snacks and teas only found in Japan. Offering both a subscription box service and e-commerce marketplace, Bokksu is the only company that partners directly with local artisanal makers throughout Japan to elevate their delicious snacks to the world stage. I developed my passion for Japanese food and travel during the four years of living in Tokyo before moving back to NYC in 2013. Prior to Bokksu, I worked in Business Development at Rakuten in Tokyo and in Digital Marketing at Google in Mountain View. I’m also an avid rock climber who loves to get into fierce battles with friends over board games.
