I have been working for the trading company in Japan.

This company imports only Italian food products, such as high quality of EVOO, chocolate made by a genius chocolatier, many kind of balsamic vinegar and so on.

My speciality is selling these magnificent products. I try to convey not only the taste of product, but also how it is produced so deliciously.

Especially, what I gained from ONAOO changed my sales method from difficult to enjoyable. I will never stop learning and want to spread wonderful Italian products to Japan.
