Japanese "Integrity" and "Elegance" are chosen in Taiwan's business scene. The reason why Japanese food is loved as a gift

In business exchanges between Taiwan and Japan, the exchange of souvenirs goes beyond mere custom, playing a vital role in expressing respect and trust towards the other party.

Especially in Taiwanese society, which values politeness, choosing a "gift of dignity" that considers the recipient's preferences and status is an important step in building good relationships.

Previously, elaborate packaged sweets were the standard souvenir from Japan. However, among Taiwanese business partners who are highly discerning, there is a demand for "special experiences" that are rarer and convey the essence of Japanese food culture.

Thus, a new option that is now being selected is the premium Japanese canned food from "Wa no Shoku," based at the Kizu Wholesale Market in Osaka.

 

"Proof of authenticity" builds business trust

In Taiwanese gift-giving culture, the background of "where it was made and whatこだわり (attention to detail) was put into it" greatly influences the value of a gift. The reason why "Wa no Shoku" is chosen by many Taiwanese customers, especially those who account for approximately 60% of our in-store sales, lies in its overwhelming "proof of ingredients" and "craftsman's pride."

We use only carefully selected ingredients nurtured by the rich natural features of various regions of Japan. For example, natural red sea bream from Ehime Prefecture. The history of sea bream culture, passed down for over 400 years, breathes there. We also spare no expense in using ingredients from Japan's leading production areas, such as beni-zuwai crab from Kasumi, Hyogo Prefecture, and A5-rank Kuroge Wagyu beef from Miyazaki Prefecture.

These ingredients are carefully prepared by hand by craftsmen, who assess the condition of each one. For crab shabu, skilled craftsmen meticulously peel the crab meat by relying on their sense of touch, luxuriously condensing the meat from 1kg of crab into a single set.

This careful preparation, which brings out the life of the ingredients and cannot be achieved through mass production by machines. This attitude of "sincere craftsmanship" eloquently speaks to the dignity of the giver, serving as a testament to trust in business.

 

Gift of scarcity. The pride of a limited annual production of 100 sets

In the Taiwanese business scene, "rarity," something that is hard to obtain elsewhere, is also an important evaluation criterion. Among the "Wa no Shoku" lineup, the highest-grade "Crab Shabu" is particularly chosen as a gift for important occasions.

 

 

Due to the limitations of manual craftsmanship, the annual production of this product is limited to only 100 sets.

"I have prepared this special item for you, which only a select few in Japan can obtain." A box presented with such a message will deeply impress the recipient and remain an unforgettable memory in their subsequent business dealings.

 

"Japanese cuisine, direct from Japan" brings dining across borders to life

Another reason why "Wa no Shoku" is an excellent gift for Taiwan is its practical convenience.

 Since all products can be carried at room temperature, there is no need to worry about quality degradation during air travel or long-distance shipping. Our authentic Japanese cuisine, finished without relying on preservatives through unique technology, offers a "quality time" gift that allows busy business people to easily recreate the taste of a Japanese restaurant at home.

"Authentic Japanese cuisine, enjoyed at home." "The best accompaniment for Japanese sake."

The ability to offer such concrete experiences is another charm unique to Wa no Shoku, which sweets cannot provide.

 

 

The "Kuzu Tofu" series, made with Yoshino kuzu, is vegan-friendly, making it a safe gift for those with diverse lifestyles.
