Our Story

TOO International was born to fulfill the massive demand in the Japanese market for international food and beverage products.

While the opportunity was ever-present, there were relatively few brands ready to capitalize on it. And those that tried struggled to navigate agents, consultants, market-entry specialists, and importers who could only provide support in one facet of the process.

TOO International’s leadership had a profound understanding of Western brands, the Japanese market, and the common sticking points foreign brands encounter when trying to do business there.

Built on a foundation of this expertise and experience, TOO International set out to provide brands with the fully-integrated solution and support they need--but couldn’t find elsewhere--to successfully grow their sales in the Japanese market.

Since then, TOO International’s proprietary process and on-site team have helped many brands to grow and retain a profitable local sales funnel in Japan.
