Being the third-largest market in the world, Japan is one of the countries F&B companies aiming to enter when expanding internationally.
The Japanese F&B industry is constantly reinventing itself, weaving in new trends from abroad with familiar culinary traditions to create entirely new products. The challenge is to frame new products in a familiar way (such as by associating with an established product or brand), while engaging consumer curiosity.
