Food Growth Studio, a specialized unit for the food sector jointly operated by Cremma Inc. (Head Office: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kei Yasumori) and A1Growth Inc. (Head Office: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryoto Hotta), will hold "Food Growth Meetup #2," a meetup for practitioners involved in growing food brands, on July 15, 2026 (Wed) at Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB) in Yurakucho. This second event will focus on "Food x Inbound/Outbound," with a spotlight on the Muslim market and the Chinese diaspora market, two global markets that will become increasingly important for Japanese food brands. Speakers at the event will include Mr. Satoshi Shimai, Representative Director of Asset Frontier Co., Ltd., which operates "Honoru," a major domestic Halal Japanese restaurant, and Mr. Yoichi Morikawa, Partner Advisor at NEXT81 Inc., which operates "YAICHI," a cross-border e-commerce platform for the Chinese market. They will share practical perspectives for Japanese food brands to challenge the global market, including inbound対応 (support), overseas sales channel development, and success/failure stories in local markets. ■ Background of the Event Against the backdrop of increasing inbound tourism and the growing popularity of Japanese food brands overseas, acquiring inbound demand and developing overseas sales channels are becoming increasingly important themes for food manufacturers, restaurants, and regional product businesses. On the other hand, these are also areas where superficial promotions are unlikely to yield results due to a lack of understanding of religion, culture, business practices, distribution, and local communities. This event will invite speakers who have practical experience on the front lines of the Muslim and Chinese diaspora markets to share real-world insights on successes and failures gained from the field. ■ Event Overview Event Name: "Food Growth Meetup #2: The Forefront of Food x Inbound/Outbound!
