Setting up the Rainbow Sake site

Yoko Suganami founded Rainbow Sake in 2013 to create a bridge that could carry the soul of Japan to the world through the experience of sake and Japanese culture. She chose the rainbow, beautiful and full of colour, as her symbol of that bridge.

The company initially focused on B2B when it launched in the USA and Singapore, where Yoko focused on building direct relationships with Japan-friendly wholesalers, restaurants and retailers.

In April 2021 she created an online presence in the form of the Rainbow Sake site, which focuses on sake, Japanese traditional crafts and fermented foods. It reflects genuine demand from local consumers, giving them a space to communicate, and contributes to the spread and acceptance of Japanese culture.
