Shizuoka Matcha Therapy will host a special report session on April 13, 2026, in Shizuoka, sharing insights from our recent participation in the J-StarX Women Entrepreneurs Program.
In February 2026, we conducted tea sampling and market research in San Francisco, engaging with startup professionals and business leaders in Silicon Valley. Through these interactions, we explored the growing presence of matcha in the U.S. market and the untapped potential of Japanese tea.
In this session, we will share:
- Key learnings from tea sampling in San Francisco
- Current trends in the West Coast matcha market
- Local reactions to Japanese tea
- Comparison with our Los Angeles research conducted two years ago
- PR strategies and preparations before entering the U.S. market
- Challenges and opportunities for global expansion
This session is designed for tea producers, agricultural businesses, and anyone interested in expanding Japanese products globally.
