Voluntary Recall
A supplier misrepresented a product containing melatonin. Upon discovery, we self-reported to the local health authority, immediately halted sales, and issued full refunds to all customers. Zero cover-up. Full transparency.
"Japan has missed every global cannabis trend. That's precisely why it represents an enormous opportunity for international CBD brands — if they enter correctly."— Kazuhiko Shirasaka, CEO, Asayake Inc.
The market is growing despite tighter regulation. The shift to ingredient-based rules creates a clearer, more defensible entry path for compliant brands.
Illegal competition is being cleared out fast. Enforcement has intensified dramatically. Brands that enter correctly now will own the market.
CBN's exit is CBG's opportunity. A \10B+ market gap is actively seeking a replacement. CBD isolate, CBG, and terpene-forward products are best positioned.
Trust is the product in Japan. Japanese consumers have high brand loyalty and strong risk aversion. Brands that enter correctly command a sustained premium.
Let's navigate Japan together.
