Testimonials

“This is the first time for the company “13 Jul Plantaze” from Montenegro to participate in Wine and Gourmet Japan. Our main objective to participate the fair is to find new prospective clients. I am very glad to know that, compared to other fairs in Asia, this exhibition has the best quality of visitors. Most of them are professionals in the wine business, which is exactly what we were looking for. We made a lot of new contacts and hope to have successful cooperation in the future. The overall impression of the exhibition (service, exhibitors and visitors) is excellent. Hope to see you again in 2015.”

"Having a booth and organizing a coffee seminar at Wine & Gourmet Japan 2014 was an excellent approach for us to increase our promotion and publicity efforts, as well as enhance our presence onsite.  Throughout the event days we experienced healthy visitor traffic at our booth.  Our seminar session also saw sommeliers show keen interest in the field of coffee."

"This is our first time participating at Wine & Gourmet Japan. In our opinion, it is a very established and well-organised wine exhibition, with lots of professionals keen to foster new business relations visiting the event. We also did a seminar on German wine which was completely booked out."

"Wine & Gourmet Show 2014 Tokyo had been a great surprise in terms of contacts to find the right partners to properly enter the Japanese market. We are perfectly aware that our Giovanni Coppiello horse meat charcuteries are niche products. Our horse meat “sfilacci”, i.e. “the crown jewel” of our production, met the taste of the visitors satisfying the delicate palate of the Japanese consumers.

This positive result encourages us to discover more about the opportunity to find the perfect match with Japanese cuisine as well. We wait to welcome next year visitors in our booth for a delightful tasting."

“Wine and Gourmet Japan 2014 has far exceeded my expectations - which were already high enough! The organizers have done an amazing job in every respect. For a niche wine country like Greece this event has offered an efficient and ideal showcase to leave a good footprint in the market. Compared to other wine fairs we have participated around the world, I would dare say it ranks top in terms of cost vs. benefit for us. I would like to thank the organizers for focusing on quality rather than quantity and giving us the opportunity to offer a master class on the avant-garde of the wines of Greece.”

"This is our first year participating at Wine & Gourmet Japan and it gave us the valuable opportunity to meet customers who were very keen on our products. Compared to other trade fairs where visitors would only be interested in tasting sessions and window-shopping, Wine & Gourmet Japan presented visitors who were genuinely interested in our business and the products we offer.  We look forward to participating again next year."
