In Japan, when you think of azuki bar, the brand Imuraya immediately comes to mind – this naturally sweet ice cream bar that comes chock full with azuki beans is an easy favourite. As one of the most popular ice cream brands in Japan, Imuraya has been around since 1897 and has sold around 300 million azuki bars per year since 2021. 
From June 26 to July 2, Imuraya is celebrating the 50th anniversary of this well-loved azuki bar with a one-for-one promo. All you have to do? Buy a box of azuki bars and follow Imuraya Singapore’s Instagram account to redeem your second box for free. You can find this famous Japanese ice cream bar at stores like Isetan Scotts, selected Hao Mart outlets, Iroha Mart, and Poppin at Plaza Singapura. These stores will also be giving away a free azuki bar on June 28 and July 1*, a sweet treat on any hot day.

WeAgri Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO Ken Negishi), a company within the Techfirm Group specializing in agricultural and marine product distribution solutions, will begin exporting popular confectionery stores and other confectionery manufacturers, which are unable to independently expand their overseas markets, in response to the overseas demand for Japanese sweets amidst the decline in inbound demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging their cold chain built for exporting agricultural and marine products, marketing strategies that capture local preferences, and networks for real sales at local retail stores, they will establish their cross-border e-commerce platform, "Ginza Sweets," which was launched in September of this year, as a distribution channel to enhance the brand power of Japanese sweets. With a sales target of 500 million yen by the end of 2026, they aim to further expand their unique export platform utilizing IT.
