Company Profile

Washu Trading LLC is a Japan-based export company specializing in the global distribution of Japanese alcoholic beverages, headquartered in Kumamoto.

Our core portfolio focuses on authentic honkaku shochu, including Geographical Indication (GI)-certified Kuma Shochu and Satsuma Shochu. In recent years, we have expanded our product range to include sake and liqueurs, offering a broader selection of Japanese spirits to international markets.

We have established a strong sales network in the United States, particularly in Texas, working closely with local importers to build a consistent track record of exports. In addition, we support OEM production and bulk supply for business clients, further strengthening our B2B partnerships.

Beyond distribution, we provide comprehensive support for international market entry. Our in-house capabilities include label design, product development, brochure creation, website development, and assistance with subsidy and grant applications. This allows us to support our partners throughout the entire process—from product creation to overseas expansion.

We also operate our own e-commerce platform and actively utilize social media to promote Japanese alcoholic beverages to both domestic and international audiences, contributing to long-term brand value.

Kuma Shochu and Satsuma Shochu represent some of Japan’s most traditional distilled spirits, with histories spanning several centuries and deep regional roots. We are committed to preserving these traditions while enhancing the global recognition and value of Japanese alcoholic beverages.
