ODK's fruit purees, cocktail syrup, sour and much more... Tasting and online B2B meeting with the producerFrom: 07/04/2021 3:00 PMto: 31/05/2021 6:00 PMVenue: Online Meeting
ICCJ is organizing online B2B meetings with ODK (ORSA DRINKS s.r.l.), to introduce to the Japanese market their original fruit purees, syrups, creams, and powders, sour, and much more.
ODK was started in Italy in 1992 as a family business, originally the product range was limited to powdered drinks such as hot chocolates and frappes. After looking to the United States and observing how the cocktail scene was booming over there in the 1990s ODK decided to diversify into the cocktail market.
During the years ODK developed the first cocktail mixers, such as the sweet and sour mix powder, and then their first range of cocktail fruit purees. Starting with only a limited range of fruits, in 2000 ODK soon expanded the range to encompass many different fruits and flavours following an ever-increasing demand from bartenders. Eventually ODK were able to dominate the cocktail puree and powder market in Italy by 2005 although they didn’t stop there…
Starting from a small powdered drinks business in Italy, ODK now exports to over 50 countries in the world with 58% of turnover now down to export alone.
Target: Food importers in Japan

Representative Director Kenji Sakamoto
After serving as Managing Director of Jardin Wines and Spirits, he started August Beer Co., Ltd. in 2004.

1 year in 2004 I followed my passion and I decided to move to Japan.
My passion about travel started from high school as I graduating as a tourist expert at the Filippo Re
technical tourism institute in Reggio Emilia.
My dream was to open my own travel agency but before that I was aware of having to do some
apprenticeship but above of all, I had to learn English, that's why I decided to move to Australia.
After a few months in Japan I managed to find a job. where I was able to do the apprenticeship for 11
years in a real Japanese Travel Agency! And after a lot of effort, life changes, I was able to make mine
dream of opening my own travel agency come true, in 2015 I open my agency which was the first and
Italian travel agency in Japan!
My social networks have made the breakthrough for my business giving me the chance to show my travels and my life in Japan. They allow me to interact with many people and thanks to them comments and messages I have the opportunity to improve myself and always stay updated on what
people looking for on a trip.
