2 Successful Partnerships Only at Wine & Gourmet JAPAN and its Partner Fairs Wine & Gourmet JAPAN 2014 has been a great surprise in terms of contacts to find the right partners to properly enter the Japanese market. We are perfectly aware that our Giovanni Coppiello horse meat charcuteries are niche products. Our horse meat sfilacci, i.e. the crown jewel of our production, met the discerning tastes of the visitors, ultimately satisfying the delicate palate of Japanese consumers. This positive result encourages us to actively seek more opportunities to find a perfect match with the Japanese cuisine as well. We can t wait to be back next year to welcome visitors in our booth for a delightful tasting experience. Barbara Coppiello President, Giovanni Coppiello - Horse Meat Charcuteries Italy Powerful partnership with five trade fairs proven to be Japan s best business and trading platform for international suppliers interested to explore or enter the lucrative Japanese food & beverage market. High-quality cross segment of buyers with each fair targeting specific product groups. Targeted promotional activities by niche industry associations and publications organizing the partner fairs reach the right audience (Japan Food Journal, Japan Meat Industry Association, and Japan Frozen Noodle Association), bringing together diverse and focused buyer groups from all over Japan.

Joaquin Sanchez General Manager, Pago Casa del Blanco Spain This is our first year participating in Wine & Gourmet JAPAN and it gave us the valuable opportunity to meet customers who were very keen on our products. Compared to other trade fairs where visitors tend to be just interested in tasting sessions, Wine & Gourmet JAPAN presented visitors who were genuinely interested in our business and the products we offer. We look forward to participating again next year. Koji Miyazaki Deputy Manager, Sawanotsuru Co., Ltd Japan This is the first time we are participating in Wine & Gourmet JAPAN. Our main objective is to find new prospective clients. I am very glad to know that, compared to other fairs in Asia, this exhibition has the best quality of visitors. Most of them are professionals in the wine business, which is exactly what we were looking for. We made a lot of new contacts and hope to have successful cooperation in the future. The overall impression of the exhibition (service, exhibitors, and visitors) is excellent. Hope to see you again in Andela Kovacevic Export Manager,13. jul Plantaze Montenegro Wine & Gourmet JAPAN 2014 has far exceeded my expectations - which were already high enough! The organizers have done an amazing job in every respect. For a niche wine country like Greece, this event has offered an efficient and ideal showcase to leave a good footprint in the market. Compared to other wine fairs we have participated in around the world, I would dare say it ranks top in terms of cost versus benefit for us. I would like to thank the organizers for focusing on quality rather than quantity and giving us the opportunity to offer a master class on the avant-garde wines of Greece.

5 Japan A Promising Market Next to U.S. and China, Japan is one of the strongest economic regions in the world. Japan enjoys high levels of domestic consumption, with food and drink making up a significant proportion of its spending. The food and drink market is very sophisticated, and although Japanese traditional culinary culture remains a strong part of its national identity, Japanese consumers enjoy a diverse range of food products now available at supermarkets, department stores, grocers, and convenience stores. Another major sector in this economy is the Japanese wine and spirits market, one of the liveliest in Asia-Pacific. Having achieved 19.3% growth between 2008 and 2012, Japan is the leading Asian importer of spirits and the second largest importer of wines. With more than 178,000 sales outlets, Japan has one of the best developed sales networks in the world.
