THE NETWORK

Trade runs in both directions.

Demand abroad, makers in Japan. Whichever side a project starts from, we stand in the middle and turn it into a product.

MARKET ACCESS

Two directions to work with us.

The steps marked SOON open in step with the launch of our own brands.

OUR FIRST CASE

We are taking our own brand
overseas ourselves.

LATTE OTAKU / OVERSEAS

Choosing the factory, clearing the regulations, designing the freight — all of it in-house. What we learn there goes into the products we are asked to handle.

OUR BRANDS

Two brands are under way.

Brands are numbered from 01. Not to run up the count — to release only what we are satisfied with, one at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

BUILT TO TRAVEL.

What tastes good in Japan does not always taste good abroad. It has to travel, it has to be reproducible, and it has to keep selling. Those three decide whether we make it.

MADE IN JAPAN

Ingredients grown over a long time, and processes handed down with them. We choose only what tastes different because of it.

EASY TO SERVE

No special tools, no practice. The difficult part is finished in Japan, so all that is left is to stir.

BUILT TO SCALE

Ambient, light, unbreakable. Used every day and bought again. If it cannot travel, we do not make it.
