Exhibition & Business Meeting Report
Washu Trading to Exhibit at the 11th “JAPAN’S FOOD” EXPORT FAIR!
Washu Trading LLC exhibited at the 11th “Japan’s Food” Export Fair, held at Makuhari Messe from December 3 (Wed) to 5 (Fri), 2025.
At the exhibition, we introduced a wide range of Japanese alcoholic beverages, including sake, shochu, umeshu (plum wine), and other traditional Japanese spirits that we proudly share with the world.
Through meetings with overseas buyers, we had valuable opportunities to promote Japan’s rich alcohol culture and explore possibilities for further export expansion.
During the exhibition, tastings and business meetings were conducted at our booth (Booth No. 8-19), allowing visitors to experience the depth, aroma, and stories behind authentic Japanese spirits.
