We’re delighted to announce that Calbee — one of the world’s biggest savoury snack businesses and Japan’s number one snack brand — is an official partner of Japan Week 2025 in Manchester.

Recently, a group of senior leaders from across the Calbee Group visited Manchester to explore some of the iconic venues that will host Japan Week events next year.

“The Calbee brand is still relatively unknown in the UK, so we’re excited to showcase our deliciously authentic Japanese snacks to UK consumers and be part of such a fantastic celebration of Japanese culture and cuisine.” – Claire Hooper, Group Marketing Director

Visitors to Japan Week will get the chance to taste some of Japan’s much-loved Calbee favourites — including Shrimp Chips, and Grill a Corn Snacks — offering a true taste of Japan in the heart of Manchester. Calbee’s much loved snacks are currently available at specialist Asian food stores, Oseyo, and in Tesco World Foods aisle.

We’re thrilled to welcome Calbee as a partner and can’t wait for visitors to discover their iconic snacks during Japan Week 2025.
