Case Studies

Success Stories

  • Liquor trade show

    Case 1: A sake brewery in Kyoto

    We supported the brewery’s exhibit at the Taipei International Wine & Spirits Exhibition. Its products were then introduced to the local market through a Taiwanese distributor and went on sale, raising both brand awareness and sales.

  • Japanese whisky

    Case 2: A whisky maker in Kyoto

    We introduced their whisky and whisky umeshu to the Taiwanese market. A tie-up with a local distributor brought them into restaurants and specialist liquor shops, raising the brand’s value.

  • Japanese liqueur

    Case 3: A sake brewery in Nara

    We presented their umeshu and fruit liqueurs at a trade show in Taiwan. They appealed to health-conscious consumers, and a contract was signed with a local import distributor — a successful expansion of their sales channels.
