TOKYO, Japan (November 15th, 2017) – SHARE Pro Co. Ltd. has launched Foodies Go Local (www.foodiesgolocal.com), a new digital media platform based in Japan, which aims to bring the finest elements of Japan’s food culture and cuisine to an international audience.
Japan’s highly developed, fascinating, unique food culture is drawing visitors and investors to the country from across the globe in ever-increasing numbers. Yet while most visitors know of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, there has, until now, been precious little quality, trustworthy, practical information in English about the almost infinite variety of fabulous foodstuffs, local cuisines, and special products found throughout Japan. That’s where Foodies Go Local is unique, and uniquely positioned to serve foreign visitors in a growing market worth in excess of US$ 250 billion globally.
“Foodies Go Local is unique and exciting on many levels,” explains SHARE Pro CEO, Nobu Kishi. “Our professional, multi-national team of expert writers has many decades of experience of living, working, and of course eating, in Japan. With our experience and skills, we go beyond linguistic and cultural barriers, to form a unique bridge between Japan’s food culture, its food producers and retailers, and the rest of the world. No-one has ever done this before, and not least on this scale.”
