In September 2026, the highly anticipated Food & Wine Fair will take place at The Okura Tokyo, with TATSUMI showcasing its exquisite lineup of premium non-alcoholic beverages. The event is scheduled for September 16, and will feature three exceptional products: 1688 Grand Rosé, 1688 Grand Blanc, and Paris’16 Blanc.
As more dining establishments recognize the growing demand for high-end, non-alcoholic options, YELL is eager to present its luxurious offerings to restaurant and hotel professionals. With the increasing popularity of sophisticated non-alcoholic drinks, especially during the summer leisure season, YELL hopes to inspire their use in pairing menus both for locals and incoming international guests. Those attending the event can look forward to exclusive gifts, including a pair of French non-alcoholic products and Taiwanese high-grade honey vinegar for the first 50 attendees.
The demand for premium non-alcoholic beverages has surged as more people seek enjoyable options regardless of their alcohol consumption preferences. Non-alcoholic offerings enhance dining experiences and are an excellent way to elevate the quality of hospitality. This shift is not just a trend; it's evolving into a staple in restaurants and hotels across Japan.
In addition, the growing number of inbound travelers has created a notable demand for halal beverages. The 1688 brand has received HALAL certification from various regional authorities, which positions its products as a great option for the Muslim demographic visiting Japan. As the inbound travel sector continues to flourish, the availability of halal, non-alcoholic sparkling drinks provides a welcoming option for all guests.
YELL's premium lineup has also become a popular choice for gifts. The beautifully packaged 1688 products have been adopted as gifts for luxury car owners and have seen use in various corporate gifting scenarios, including high-end brand promotional events and celebrations. The elegance of the packaging makes it suitable for every occasion, from weddings to corporate gifts, ensuring that hosts can celebrate without the constraints of alcohol.
As we look toward the future, we expect new packaging designs, such as the tricolor boxes launching in 2024, to further enhance the appeal of the brand. YELL continually strives to meet the diverse needs of its customers. With Valentine's Day events featuring the 1688 Rosé and partnerships with luxury brands, YELL has positioned itself as a leader in high-quality non-alcoholic beverages.
Additionally, YELL offers various menu designs for restaurants, providing elegant templates that can elevate service presentations. With a focus on customization, hotels and restaurants can create seasonal menus designed uniquely for their guests. In summary, YELL is committed to providing excellent non-alcoholic options that enhance conviviality across a wide range of settings, from casual gatherings to formal dining experiences.
For those interested in exploring the exquisite world of premium non-alcoholic beverages, we invite you to attend the Food & Wine Fair 2026 and discover the joys of 1688 and Paris’16. Join us at The Okura Tokyo for an experience that blends luxury and flavor, ensuring every occasion is a celebration in itself.
