Market Testing is a package of services that are all required to achieve the goal of “qualifying your product for importing, positioning your product in the market, and evaluating the product’s market potential.” It consists of the following:

 

  • Initial consultation with Ministry of Health officials that approve products for import
  • Costing estimate for shipping, customs, taxes to determine landed price
  • Retail price estimate to discover how you stack up again competition
  • Research of similar products/brands in Japan
  • Tastings with and evaluation by select Japanese buyers (liquid, packaging)
  • Evaluation of how your product might fair in Japan and what to do next

Why are there not more US craft spirit brands in Japan?

It’s a difficult market to break into. There are numerous challenges to entering the Japanese market because Japan is far away in terms of geography, culture, and language. All these factors make it harder to do even the most basic things, things that you would never think twice about at home.

Why Japan?

Massive street cred. Our customers brag to their customers about being in the Japanese market. And why shouldn’t they? People from western countries have long been attracted by the mystery and impenetrability of Japan. However, besides the prestige of having your product consumed in Japan, it’s a great market for the right product.

One thing you must know before you get started: this is a marathon, not a sprint. It will take time, effort, and yes . . . . money.

But we will walk you through this journey one step at a time, with little risk and no or little money to start. It begins with a simple, free “Start Here!” evaluation–you fill out a form, and we talk. If that goes well, we will do a full “Start Here!” evaluation that will cost you two cases of product + shipping.

After that, we will decide together to either “Take the Plunge” (sign a two year agreement) or go for “the Third Option” (a middle-of-the road).
