“Japan’s Food” Export EXPO 2026! High Interest from Global Buyers in Matcha and Ceramics

Introduction

Hello everyone, this is the Overseas Business Department at ECI.

We are excited to share that we recently exhibited at the 10th “Japan’s Food” Export EXPO, held at Tokyo Big Sight on June 24～26, 2026.

This premier exhibition attracts buyers from all over the world seeking high-quality Japanese food products. Our team was stationed at [Booth No. 3-11], presenting a curated selection of premium Japanese Matcha and exquisite ceramics (such as Mino ware) tailored for the global market.

Today, we would like to share a quick report on the lively atmosphere of the venue and the incredible response we received!

Our Theme: Bringing Traditional Japanese Beauty and Flavors to the World

At ECI, our core strengths lie in our international food safety compliance (including FSSC 22000, FDA, and JAS certifications) ensuring a safe and secure supply chain, combined with our vast procurement capability of over 40,000 products.

For this exhibition, we designed our display around “Japanese Matcha,” which continues to see booming demand worldwide, paired with elegant “Ceramics (Mino ware)” that beautifully complement the tea-drinking experience.

Exceptional Response: Matcha Takes Center Stage among Global Buyers

Throughout the event, Booth 3-11 enjoyed a steady stream of international visitors. In particular, our Matcha received an overwhelming amount of attention.

Driven by rising global health-consciousness and the integration of Matcha into modern cafe culture, buyers showed immense interest. We engaged in numerous deep, business-oriented discussions addressing highly specific inquiries, such as:

• “What quality grades do you offer, and what international certifications (Organic JAS, FDA, etc.) are available?”
• “Can you accommodate high-volume, bulk procurement tailored to our regional market?”

Furthermore, by showcasing traditional ceramics alongside the tea, we were able to offer more than just an ingredient; we shared the cultural experience and aesthetics of Japan, which was highly appreciated by the buyers.

ECI’s Solution: Consolidated & Optimized Global Logistics

Another highlight that drew significant praise from international buyers was our consolidated shipping and logistics optimization service.

When importing from Japan, shipping costs and managing multiple vendor categories can be major hurdles. ECI solves this by offering a one-stop solution: we can consolidate various product categories—from Matcha and ceramics to Japanese whisky, electronics, and condiments—into a single container, maximizing shipping efficiency.

Our ability to provide a safe, compliant, and one-stop consolidated logistics service resonated strongly with buyers from various regions, who view ECI as a highly dependable long-term partner.

Looking Ahead & Acknowledgments

This exhibition reaffirmed the immense global demand for Japanese food and culture, as well as the strong market value of ECI’s distribution solutions.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the buyers, partners, and visitors who stopped by Booth 3-11.

Moving forward, we will continue to leverage our safe and efficient global network to bridge the gap between outstanding Japanese products and markets worldwide.
