(Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kenji Kasui) has successfully raised a total of 265 million yen through loans from Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, Resona Bank, Ikeda Senshu Bank, and Minato Bank, as well as private placement bonds underwritten by Nanto Bank and Kiyo Bank.
Our mission is to "deliver the charm of regions to the world through Japan brands, energizing Japan from the local level." We consistently handle everything from discovering and developing regional specialties to selling to inbound tourists and overseas wholesale. With this funding, we will strengthen our financial base and organizational structure to deliver over 10,000 product lines to the global market, further promoting the expansion of sales channels for Japanese regional products.
■ Future Developments
This fundraising was realized due to the high evaluation of our business growth potential and financial soundness by financial institutions. With the trust and capital we have received, we will further accelerate our business focusing on the following two points:
1. Further expansion of sales channels in the inbound market
As the number of inbound tourists continues to grow steadily, we will accelerate the expansion of our sales network to reliably capture inbound demand. We will open new sales channels and expand our product lineup, also considering the opening of an integrated resort (IR) planned for Osaka. We aim to further broaden the points of contact where foreign consumers can directly experience the charm of regional products, contributing to the regional economy.
2. Acceleration of overseas expansion utilizing knowledge from the inbound market
Our greatest strength is the purchasing data and knowledge cultivated over more than 10 years at the forefront of the inbound market in physical stores nationwide. With the proven track record of "products actually chosen by foreigners visiting Japan" as a basis, we will fully promote exports and product development for overseas markets. We will work to create demand for Japanese regional products to be continuously distributed in the global market.
■ Contribution to local society through corporate bonds (SDGs private placement bonds)
Upon this fundraising, Nanto Bank and Kiyo Bank, which underwrote the corporate bonds (SDGs private placement bonds), will make donations to the following educational institutions in agreement with our vision:
・Osaka Municipal Minami Kindergarten
Support for improving the educational environment for children at a kindergarten near our headquarters.
・School Corporation Yell Gakuen
Support for developing global human resources at an educational institution collaborating in the inbound sector.
■ Message from the Representative
Japan brands still have infinite potential. Japan has diverse cultures, food, and world-class craftsmanship in each region. Our mission is to discover these wonderful unique characteristics and deliver them to the world.
The support from six financial institutions this time is a testament to the evaluation and trust in our business. With this trust and capital, we will maximize our sales network, knowledge, and network with business partners cultivated in the inbound market to further accelerate the global expansion of Japan brands.
Our desire to "energize Japan" has been our unchanging driving force since our founding. We will continue to deliver the charm of Japan to the world and energize Japan from the local level.
