Hokusei participated in the Food and Beverage EXhibition (FABEX) as follows.

  • Name: FABEX Kansai 2022
  • Date: 7 to 9 September 2022
  • Place: Intex Osaka (Japan)
  • # of visitors: 27 thousands

450 suppliers gethered in the food show and Hokusei was one of suppliers in the booth of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Japan. The company promoted Oregon Fruit Products (OFP)’ fruit purees.

Hokusei staff offered samples of 5 different flavors of the purees. 

  • Sweet cherry
  • Tangerine
  • Plum
  • Passion fruit
  • Blueberry

They are sugar and preservative free and we import from the U.S. in aseptic packaging. You can store them at normal temperature for a long time. You do not need refrigerators.

In addition, Hokusei worked with one of its customers, Tomomasu Drink, to create soft drinks using OFP’s purees, to be sampled by FABEX visitors.

Their responses were pretty positive, and Hokusei staff had quite a bit of interaction with conference-goers.  Most visitors to the booth had never heard of Oregon Fruit Products, or even of fruit purees for commercial use, which ideally will translate into new Japanese customers for Hokusei and Oregon Fruit Products.

Currently, craft beer brewers use them to flavor their beers. They are also useful for soft drinks, confectionery, and ice creams as well.
