Core Home has acquired Tochi Snacks, a maker of Asian-inspired popcorn and crispy salmon chips. The transaction closed in October 2026 and was announced Nov. 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Founded in 2018 by Dina Shi and siblings Ian and Marc Seah, Tochi sells its products through more than 200 wholesale accounts nationwide, including specialty grocers and independent retailers.

Tochi will remain a separate brand under Core Home and retain its existing popcorn and salmon chip lines. Core Home said it will provide operational support and access to its retail relationships to help expand distribution.

Tochi’s popcorn flavors include salted egg, black sesame, milk tea, ube, and matcha. Its salmon chips are available in salted egg, Sriracha, Korean barbecue, and Thai lime and herb varieties.

The acquisition is part of Core Home’s expansion into food and beverage. Founded in 2009, the New York-based company has more than 20 brands across categories including housewares, toys and games, pet products, and health and beauty.
