Our Story
Our Story
Abokichi is a Japanese-inspired Canadian food brand bringing you vegan & keto friendly OKAZU Miso Chili Oil Condiments and Instant Miso Soup.
We are dedicated to sharing the culinary creativity which can emerge when different cultures interact. Abokichi means "Fortunate Avocado," a coinage from abokado, a South American fruit which has found a place in cuisines all over the world, and kichi which means fortunate in Japanese, to express the blessing of the diversity of different cultures in the world.
Our story began when Abokichi co-founder Jess Mantell first encountered onigiri (Japanese rice balls) as a healthy and convenient snack or meal while living in Tokyo.
