Maintaining quality with temperature-controlled air freight and delivering to the world in a timely manner. Used for famous restaurants in New York such as Sushi Takumi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STANDAGE Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Akinori Adachi, hereinafter referred to as Standage), which develops and provides digital trade platforms, has become an export partner of Aramasa Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. (Akita City, Akita Prefecture, CEO: Yusuke Sato, hereinafter referred to as Aramasa) and has begun providing a logistics network for the export of sake produced by Aramasa. By utilizing the cold chain (door-to-door transportation network by temperature-controlled air freight) that Standage built as a subsidized project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it will be possible to achieve more detailed quality control and ensure traceability than with conventional methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aramasa was founded in 1852 and is currently led by its eighth-generation president, Yusuke Sato. It is a popular sake brewery that respects tradition while also focusing on innovative sake brewing, impressing sake lovers both in Japan and overseas.
\nThe company also exports to Asia, Europe, the United States, and Hawaii, and has enthusiastic fans overseas.
\nIn December 2011, Sushi Takumi, a famous Yotsuya restaurant and client of Aramasa, which also has a store in Hawaii, opened a new store in New York. Instead of using the traditional wholesale method of large-scale sales expansion, Aramasa was looking for an export partner to America that could transport sushi of the same quality as in Japan while listening to the needs of restaurants.<\/p>\n

As a subsidized project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Standage has been working to build a cold chain (a door-to-door transportation network using temperature-controlled air freight) since 2011, and uses this logistics network to export sake and Japanese products to Europe and the United States through the cross-border e-commerce site "YUKARI."
\nThe strengths of this logistics network are that it can provide thorough quality and temperature control from door to door all the way to the customer without going through the management of local companies, it has short delivery times of just a few days to two weeks for shipments to Europe and America, and it can transport small lots.<\/p>\n

By utilizing this cold chain, it is now possible to transport unpasteurized sake, for which quality control was difficult when transporting in conventional containers, to local restaurants, in quantities that can be properly stored in the store, while maintaining the same quality as in Japan.
\nAs Aramasa's export partner, Standage will be responsible for all operations related to the export of Aramasa products to New York from December 2011.
\nAdditionally, we are currently in discussions about providing a logistics network for exports to Southeast Asia in addition to Europe.<\/p>\n

By supporting the overseas export of Aramasa, Standage will contribute to the correct recognition and dissemination of Japan's food culture, history and stories, as well as regional revitalization, and will contribute to the revitalization of the global trade market.<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n(Akita City, Akita Prefecture; President: Yusuke Sato; hereafter referred to as \"Aramasa\") as an export partner, and has begun providing a logistics network for Aramasa's sake exports. Standage's cold chain (door-to-door transportation network using temperature-controlled air freight), which was established as a project subsidized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, will be used to ensure more detailed quality control and traceability than conventional methods.

\r\n\r\nFounded in 1852 and currently led by 8th generation president Yusuke Sato, Aramasa is a popular sake brewery that has been attracting enthusiasts in Japan and abroad with its focus on innovative sake brewing while respecting tradition.
\r\nIt also exports to Asia, Europe, the United States, and Hawaii, and has an international fan base of devoted fans.
\r\nIn December 2023, when the famous Yotsuya restaurant \"Sushi Sho\", which also has a branch in Hawaii, opens a new restaurant in New York, Aramasa was looking for an export partner for the U.S. that could transport the product with the same quality as in Japan, while keeping close contact with the restaurant's requirements, rather than the traditional wholesale method that takes a large-scale sales expansion strategy.

\r\n\r\nStandage has been working on the construction of a cold chain (door-to-door transportation network using temperature-controlled air freight) since 2023 as a project subsidized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and is using this distribution network to export Japanese sake and other Japanese products through the cross-border EC site \"En-YUKARI\" to Europe and America.\r\nOur logistics network has three strengths: it allows us to ensure quality and temperature control from door-to-door to the customer's door without having to go through the management of local suppliers; short delivery times, from a few days to two weeks for Europe and the U.S.; and the ability to transport small lots.

\r\n\r\nCold-chain transportation of sake, which was considered difficult in terms of quality control with conventional container transportation, now makes it possible to ship only the number of bottles that can be stored properly at local restaurants to the customers' door, with the same quality as in Japan.
\r\nAs an export partner of Aramasa, Standage will undertake all operations related to the export of Aramasa products to New York from December 2023.
\r\nWe are also in discussions to provide a logistics network for exports to Europe and Southeast Asia in the future.

\r\n\r\nThrough supporting overseas exports of Aramasa, Standage will contribute to the spread of proper recognition and dissemination of Japan's food culture, history, and story, as well as to regional development, while contributing to the revitalization of the global trade market.

\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u25a0About Aramasa Shuzo<\/strong>
\r\nAramasa Shuzo is committed to producing only pure sake using Kyokai No. 6 yeast, which was discovered more than 90 years ago in the brewery. We are also proud of the fact that all of our sake is brewed in wooden vats, adhering to the Edo period method of making sake called \"kimoto\". Aramasa Shuzo will continue to strive to preserve, nurture, and pass on Japan's traditional fermentation culture.
