Japan’s Food Export Fair, a trade show specializing in the direct procurement of a wide variety of Japanese food products, will return this year with its biannual schedule in June and November. Visitor registration is now open for the summer show at Tokyo Bight Sight, set for June 19-21.
Organized by RX Japan Ltd., the exhibition has been held annually since 2017 with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). Attracting participants from over 70 countries each year, the event facilitates the sourcing and purchasing of a wide range of Japanese food products by a large number of international visitors, including major importers and operators of supermarkets, restaurants and department stores.
The summer edition will showcase not only traditional Japanese foods, but also a broad scope of regional specialties including seafood, meat and processed products. Visitors will have opportunities for sample products offered by more than 900 exhibitors. All exhibitors are required to have English-speaking staff on site, and product information and prices are readily available in English.
In addition, a special feature of the show is the “Appointment Booking Service,” which allows attendees to pre-book meeting appointments. Registered users receive a unique ID and password to access their personalized page called “My Page,” where they can search for exhibits, requesting and efficiently managing appointments with exhibitors.
