A Message from the Founder
Message from the CEO
Hello and thank you for stopping by.
For over a decade, I’ve been surrounded by Japanese alcohol—not because I drink it all day (though it’s tempting!), but because I’ve been helping clients around the world with everything from product development to brewery partnerships and complex shipping challenges.
Some of the requests I’ve received have been truly wild—but that’s exactly what makes this job exciting. Thanks to all those experiences, I’ve become pretty good at turning even the most unusual ideas into reality.
Whatever your mission is—big or small—I’d love to hear it.
Kaori Koumatu
CEO, Taishi Co., Ltd.
