Business Overview
- UK-based Japanese alcohol import and distribution platform offered primarily as an asset and relationship transfer opportunity.
- The transaction includes premium Japanese sake, spirits, and fruit liqueur inventory valued at over GBP 30,000, already imported into the UK, customs-cleared, and stored appropriately for resale.
- Buyer receives access to 50+ wholesale customer relationships across hospitality, retail, restaurants, bars, and speciality beverage channels in the UK.
- Built direct sourcing relationships with 10+ established Japanese breweries, including access to premium, seasonal, and limited-production products not commonly available through traditional UK wholesalers.
- Product portfolio includes premium junmai daiginjo sake, seasonal craft releases, and high-demand fruit liqueurs across multiple pricing segments.
- The opportunity is best suited for an existing drinks distributor, hospitality group, importer, wholesaler, or buyer who can restart active sales using the available inventory and relationships.
- Run-rate sales were reduced because inventory replenishment was intentionally slowed while the owner shifted focus to another business and prepared the transaction. This creates a restart opportunity for a buyer with sales capacity in the UK market.
- A bilingual team can support transition matters, including supplier introductions, inventory handover, customer context, UK logistics, order fulfilment, export coordination, duty/customs procedures, and alcohol compliance knowledge transfer.
- The transaction focuses on inventory, customer relationships, supplier introductions, operational know-how, and handover support. The buyer should expect to operate through its own legal entity and licensing structure.
- The business has experience with UK alcohol import documentation, Japanese export documentation, duty calculations, customs procedures, and product labelling requirements.
- The business owner is currently based in London, while the advisor managing the transaction is based in Japan.
