■ What is Japan’s treasure “World Championship”?
From 2016 to 2019, we will hold the “Japan World Treasures Exhibition” in cooperation with the Singapore hotel “Singapore Shangri-La” (Sentosa Island). International chefs at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore teamed up with Japanese award-winning business owners to host a grand prix competition. The top award-winning companies received extensive media coverage and experienced significant sales growth. In 2023, in addition to the same grand prix as in the past, we will also introduce unique businesses and tourist attractions in Japan, and promote Japanese fun that is unknown throughout Japan to overseas.
*Photos are for events held in 2019.
■Singapore partner company “1-GROUP”
As a partner company in Singapore, “1-GROUP”, which operates restaurants and clubs in various places in Singapore, will fully cooperate with this event. The venue is 1-GROUP’s restaurant “Sol & Ora @ 1-Altitude Coast” in Sentosa Island. After the competition, from October onwards, the excellent ingredients selected at the venue will be adopted by 1-GROUP’s restaurants as new menus.
■What is the “Treasures of Japan” project?
There are so many good things all over Japan that can be called “Treasures of Japan”. However, there are many cases where traditional methods cannot be sold and companies go bankrupt. In 2009, in order to save these enterprises and realize their inherent great potential, we have been cooperating with local governments and local financial institutions to build a national network to develop products and support sales. We dare to gather human resources from different industries (primary industry to tertiary industry), hold seminars with keywords of “active learning” and “collaboration”, and constantly refresh our products.
After the results are announced, the products will be selected in the Regional Competition, National Competition and World Competition (Singapore). In the competition, the presidents of well-known companies, famous chefs, buyers of famous stores, Internet celebrities, etc. gathered together to judge whether the products are worthy of becoming Japanese national treasures from the two axes of quality evaluation and personality evaluation. The award-winning products immediately drove the sales of EC websites and well-known stores, and produced merchants whose sales increased by 100 times. The holding area is expanding nationwide.
