On July 1, 2026, DASH Inc. (Headquarters: 7F Kenjin Building, 1-24-6 Shinsui, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City; Representative Director: Hironori Hamamoto) will launch "SHOKŪMA". This new service aims to be a platform (direct-to-consumer site) connecting producers nationwide with consumers, serving as a "discovery-oriented" shopping service that delivers the producers' passion and regional stories behind the products.
