What can you do for me?

Premium Beverages Marketing can get Japanese consumers tasting your spirits, Japanese bartenders serving your spirits, Japanese liquor stores selling your spirits, and–with a little luck and a great product–Japanese distributors moving your spirits by the truck load.

Now, you too can participate in the Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Contest—Japan’s largest international whiskey and spirits tasting contest!

This contest features fine spirits from around the world, and last year Premium Beverages entries won three silver medals for Richland Rum, Sagamore Double Oak, and Sagamore Cask Strength, not to mention a placing in the TWSC magazine and Japanese tasting notes for each expression.

The cost of entry is not $2000, and not even $1000, but only $500 per SKU! (plus one six-bottle case)

Tokyo Whiskey and Spirits Contest 2022 registration starts in September, 2021, so do it now!

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).

Who we are

Premium Beverages Marketing is your gateway to the Japanese market. We give you access to all the services and promotional activities that you normally use in your home market–and a year-round market presence–for less than what it costs you to do that at home. We start with market research on your product to discover where your product fits in terms of taste and price. We will evaluate the taste, packaging, pricing, import requirements and restrictions, and other factors that may make or break your success here. Once this hurdle is cleared, we can put your product in front of consumers, bartenders, and distributors both big and small to raise awareness and drive trial. The ultimate goal is to place your product with one or more distributors that will drive sales to their maximum potential.

Program Details

Premium Beverages, Inc., was founded in 2012 with one product and a lot of gumption. In the first two years, we spent 70% of our startup capital on product and the remaining cash making all our mistakes. With no more startup capital to burn, we had to find the most efficient ways to promote and generate sales to keep the company afloat.

We have packaged all that knowledge and experience into Premium Beverages Marketing to do the same for your brand at a fraction of the cost and time. 

We support your brand with the following services

Product evaluation

Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Contest entry

Whiskey shows

Free (product + shipping)

$500 per SKU

$2500

Send us some product and we’ll do some foundational; consumer/market research on taste, packaging, price and overall marketability.
The TWSC provides an amazing opportunity for new brands to gain recognition that can enhance their image and lead to new market opportunities.
Japan’s whiskey shows are hybrid consumer/trade shows that allow direct sales to consumers. They are wild affairs with 4000 to 5000 die-hard spirits consumers, bar owners, bar tenders, and buyers of all stripes.

Magazine advertising

Bartender’s association events

Sales presentations (to wholesale buyers)

From $1000

From $1000

$499 per presentation

The value of magazine advertising is not in the ad itself (which gets little response) but is in the credibility that it creates when presenting to buyers or used in online advertising.
Getting your product in front of the bartenders in the trenches and educating them on your product and how to consume it is a sure way to get immediate traction with on-premise outlets.
For distillers who are looking for a silver bullet, we can put your product in front of larger distributors in the hopes that they will become the sole distributor in Japan.

On-line sales placement

Order fulfillment services

$250 per SKU

Request estimate

Put your flagship product online right now.

Your product gets warehoused locally and delivered by us while you manage the income stream.
