“With Japanese food companies targeting countries in Southeast Asia as key export markets, Oishii Japan provides the ideal platform to bridge the F&B industries in Japan and ASEAN and create opportunities for new business connections,” said Mr Masanao Nishida, Director of Oishii Japan. “Consumers are increasingly discerning and more appreciative of quality foods. This has created a strong demand for quality Japanese ingredients. At Oishii Japan, we have carefully curated the products on show to reflect the latest food trends in Japan,” he added.

“I was surprised to learn that not many in this part of the region have tried shochu, a popular alcoholic beverage in Japan and one of its national spirits. As the largest dedicated Japanese F&B showcase in ASEAN, we want to shine the spotlight on the lesser-known yet important aspects of Japanese cuisine and culture. Hence, we have decided to introduce this national spirit at this year’s event,” Mr Nishida continued.
