The Point Is…
Japan and Japan’s consumers are a huge market. They are on the look for alcohols from overseas – for their lower price, for an exotic taste or as a compliment to the growing market for ethnic food here.
However, paperwork, language and other issues have made it difficult for new brands to enter and reach this demand.
