About Think FOOD and JAPAN

Connecting the world with great quality Japanese food!

With an ever-increasing demand for overseas export, Japanese agricultural products and seafood are highly regarded for their freshness, great quality and unrivalled taste. However, the real quality of Japanese produce has not been fully explored by global markets.

Increasing exposure internationally with effective networking and branding strategies, and communicating the real quality of Japanese produce will play crucial roles in expanding international trade.

Message

Message from the Founder

Thank you for visiting the Think FOOD and JAPAN homepage.

Through many years of food industry experience at a general trading company, I have become keenly aware of the importance of sharing the qualities of Japan's wonderful food culture and the unrivalled standard of Japanese food products.

Think FOOD and JAPAN was established in February 2023 with an aim to contribute to the Japanese food industry by bolstering international networks and enhancing strategic branding. Moreover, amid a decline in the primary industry, lack of successors in agricultural regions, and increasing crop damage due to natural disasters, we strive to showcase the true quality of Japanese food to other nations and beyond. We aim to pave the way for a bright future for the leaders of tomorrow.

Thinking of Japan through food, and with Japan’s food industry representatives, we proudly present the rich traditions of Japanese food culture. We will continue to make the utmost effort to contribute to the Japanese food industry, and we thank you for supporting Think FOOD and JAPAN.
