Following the webinar, companies with capacity and interest in the Japan market will be invited to submit a short profile form and samples in early May that will be sent as a diplomatic shipment to the Embassy in Japan from our Vancouver warehouse. The samples will be featured at a tasting event at the Embassy in Tokyo on June 19, that will target importers, distributors, buyers and sommeliers (Canadian companies can attend in person or simply send product). Phase three of this initiative will conclude with B2B meetings between interested Japanese companies and Canadian companies in July.
