10 Japanese Food Brands Gather in Manila, Philippines. Large-scale Sampling Event with 100 Local Consumers to be Held in May.

AXIA Promotion & Trading Philippines Corporation (Headquarters: Manila) will hold a large-scale consumer sampling event (AXIA Japan Expo) on May 3, 2026, in Makati, a central area of Manila, as a practical project to support Japanese companies' entry into the Philippine market.

Ten leading Japanese food and manufacturing companies, including Koiwai Dairy Products Co., Ltd., Iwatuka Confectionery Co., Ltd., Sanritsu Confectionery Co., Ltd., Sengoku Co., Ltd., and Yamaki Co., Ltd., will participate in this event. They will collect 'real voices' from 100 local consumers to verify product acceptance for market entry.

Project Aim: 'Certain Answers' for an Uncertain Market Interest in Japanese products is growing in the rapidly developing Philippine market. However, there is a lack of primary data regarding local 'adaptation' (localization), such as taste preferences, price appropriateness, and packaging impressions. This project will strongly support Japanese companies' market entry decisions by conducting thorough practical research at a hotel venue in Makati, where middle-to-upper class residents of Manila gather.

Example Participating Companies (Total 10 companies) ● Koiwai Dairy Products Co., Ltd. ● Iwatuka Confectionery Co., Ltd. ● Sanritsu Confectionery Co., Ltd. ● Sengoku Co., Ltd. ● Yamaki Co., Ltd. ● (In addition, 10 other Japanese companies are scheduled to participate)
