Start with the channel, not a generic product
A successful own-brand brief begins with the buyer's market, service model, target customer, target format and cold-chain reality. Ochiai then identifies which existing family or development route is commercially and technically coherent.
Projects can be evaluated across dorayaki, handmade mousse-filled Mochiai, cotton cheesecake, Kurimu gelato and sorbet, chocolates, amenities and selected Japanese bakery products.

A structured development conversation
Flavour, unit weight, assortment, presentation, packaging and labelling are reviewed together. Technical sheets, ingredients, allergens, storage, minimum order quantities and lead times are confirmed only after the intended product and market are clear.
This approach protects product quality and gives purchasing teams the information needed to compare a proposal seriously rather than relying on a visual concept alone.
- Product and flavour selection
- Format and portion architecture
- Packaging and label requirements
- Technical and logistics review

04 · Professional purchasing
A workable international private-label brief.
A useful own-brand brief starts with the sales channel, destination, target customer, proposed product, forecast quantity and launch date. Include the preferred pack, label languages and how the product will be transported and served. Recipes, formats and packaging are assessed against production and commercial feasibility rather than promised as unlimited customisation.
For European distribution, clarify replenishment and destination-specific handling. For Thailand and Vietnam, include the intended importer and receiving plan at the start of the discussion. Technical specifications, allergens, order quantities and lead times are confirmed for each project.
