But why Toko?
Well, it’s no secret that we share a great passion for food. And we both happen to have oriental ancestry. Story has it, the Thé family started a well known Toko in Java, back in 1910. Anyway, "Toko" is Indonesian for shop. It’s your exotic neighborhood store that’s one big melting pot of culture, flavor and off-the-shelf brands. It's this variety that gives spice to life and to our world. And something we like to embrace in what we do: Spice up your brand.
