The “5 Barriers” That Kill
Western Food Brands in Japan.
Why simple “translation” is nowhere near enough to move the Japanese consumer.
Stop Burning Cash on
Bloated Agencies.
Traditional entry requires large upfront fees plus a “pay-per-request” retainer that slows you down every time you want to move.
Many agencies bill the retainer for “strategy” — then charge extra for every concrete task.
Banner tweak? $300. LP edit? $1,500.
Every change requires a quote → approval → purchase order. Slow and expensive.

Why we can offer this price.
Specializing in food cuts learning cost.
Our founder comes from Mizkan (Japan’s #1 vinegar brand, $2B+ revenue). We already understand how Japanese buyers evaluate food — so we spend less time “figuring it out” and more time executing.
The hybrid founder model.
One person who can direct, build on Shopify, and think like a marketer. You’re not paying for layers of middle management or internal meetings you never see.
Remote & lean operation.
We operate from Malaysia and Dubai with no expensive Tokyo head office. Lower fixed costs on our side mean more budget left for growth activities on your side.
We actively want successful case studies.
Overseas food D2C brands are a strategic focus for us. We offer “partner pricing” because we’d rather grow a strong, visible portfolio with a few great brands than chase every project at a high sticker price.
A food industry insider — not just a “marketer”.
My career began at Mizkan — Japan’s No.1 vinegar brand and a global food company. I worked both in retail sales and in product development, launching new categories in one of the world’s most demanding food markets.
Today, I help overseas brands translate their product truth into something a Japanese shopper can instantly understand — without losing what makes your brand unique. The goal isn’t just to “launch in Japan”, but to become a brand that Japanese customers come back to again and again.
