Business Hints Hiding Outside of Tokyo

Beginning with the growing popularity of the Himitsu no Kenmin Show, a Japanese television show featuring celebrities representing various prefectures in Japan to discuss local curiosities such as dialect, customs, and foods, there has been an increase in interest among the Japanese population to learn more about these previously overlooked regions. The focus has always been on Tokyo but now there has been a slight shift in thought and even among the younger population, hidden treasures are thought to be hiding beyond the metropolises. Various books featuring prefecture specific facts and trivia have been published and have been selling well. Local cuisine has been an especially hot topic, now with annual events such as the B-1 Grand Prix where local restaurants compete with their regional cuisines. Though these various regional differences which are finally being exposed to the general public, new product ideas and business opportunities are being found.

Putting the Premium in Donuts and More

Donuts have not been a highlight of the Japanese diet until these past few years when donut stores from abroad began to popup all over in the streets of Tokyo. With the introduction of gourmet donut shops, the local donut shops which were already popular now needed to compete fiercely with the newcomers against their new “premium” style of donuts and services. More stores with stylish interior and higher quality donuts began to popup in response. As a result a whole market has evolved with a new range of customers that were never before considered to be part of the target market which consisted of more children and teenagers. Similar trends have been occurring in every sector of the Japanese market with products from soft drinks, desserts, to running wear, premium products have been developed to include unlikely targets for previously unrelated products.
