SUPERMARKET TRADE SHOW 2027

Japan’s regional food producers are central to SMTS. In 2026, more than 1,400 of them exhibited within a show of 2,151 companies and organizations. That makes the fair particularly useful for supermarket buyers looking beyond familiar national brands: prefectural groups and local manufacturers sit alongside food distributors, beverage companies and suppliers of store equipment. The organizer, the National Supermarket Association of Japan, brings the perspective of its supermarket members directly into the event.
