According to Daniel, what makes difficult to go into the Japanese market?
> He thinks it would be difficult to convince the old guard to work with them.
What Risa says is the strengths of WCS?
> Risa thinks WCS has an unmatched history in Europe and California.
---
Right. We see the potential in the Japanese market. But we are finding it's a tough nut to crack due to long-standing relationships Japanese importers have with hotels and restraunts and so far. While anyone can work with up-and-coming entities, how will we convince the old guard, the best of the best to work with us?
I think WCS has an unmatched history in Europe and California. Restaurant owers and sommeliers want a piece of this. To become a part of the history behind the prestigious vineyards, Burgundy or Dell, Mozel, Napa .. WCS's relationship witht producers go back centuries. This is something Japanese importers can not match.
So what are we doing wrong?
I think you need to market your prestige as an importer more. Arrange events to make you customers and procucers feel a part of this centries old regacy.

What's Daniel's image of Japanese companies?
> They offer steady promotion, stable life time employment.
What made Risa to think changing jobs?
> She thought if she settle down in her current company, her carrier will hit a dead end.
-----
So, shall we get started. Based on the feedback from the previous interviews, we'd like to dig deeper this time. I mean instead of repeating the broader questions. Would that be alright?
Yes, that's fine.
Good. Firstly your current employer being a Japanese corporation, well, presumably offer you steady promotion, stable lifetime employment. What's behind your drive for a fresh challenge at UCS?
Um.. with the Japanese tradition of lifetime employment dying out, I feel that I need to build more focused skillset. I mean I'm late 20s now. And I think if I settle down in my current company, my carrier will hit a deadend. All this time the market remains dynamic, the richer getting righer, and there're more stared restaurants in Tokyo than ever before. I want to join the company willing to capitalize on this growth.
