Background of Expansion into Singapore

The decision to choose Singapore as a sales destination was significantly influenced by the presence of home delivery services for frozen goods, which are not yet common in many overseas markets and well-established cafe cultures. Additionally, Japan is a popular travel destination among Singapore residents, with many having visited the country before.

Reason for Launching the "PANSUKU Box Kyoto"

Initially, during the trial sales phase, the PANSUKU Boxes featured bakeries from Gunma, Hokkaido, and Ehime Prefectures. Feedback from customers revealed that many were drawn to the product because they wanted to try bread from a bakery in a city they had visited. This indicated a strong affinity for well-known cities and places associated with personal travel experiences. Based on this insight, the company decided to launch the "PANSUKU Box Kyoto," featuring bread from bakeries in Kyoto Prefecture, a highly popular tourist destination.
