Japan’s Q’SAI Co opens US subsidiary
Plans to share Japanese health staples to American audiences through Q’SAI USA
Celebrating 50 years of serving healthy lifestyles to the Japanese, Q’SAI Co has formed Q’SAI USA, a new US wholly owned subsidiary that will soon introduce American versions of health products that have become staples in Japan.
Q’SAI is a leading health and wellness company in Japan. Its flagship product is Aojiru, a popular kale powder drink mixed with water. The company celebrates its 50th anniversary this year in October, which, coincidentally, is the same month as National Kale Day in the United States.
Q’SAI USA will bring US consumers scientifically proven nutritional ingredients, beginning with a 100% USDA-certified organic kale in ultra-fine powder, featuring a patented production process (Japan Patent No. 5214089). This product, named fujiKale, was released in January 2015.
Q’SAI USA benefits from its Japanese counterpart’s commitment to scientific investigation of the effects its products has on supporting human health. For example, as there are very few published studies measuring kale attributes, Q’SAI has privately conducted several clinical trials that identify various ways in which squeezed kale and kale powder support a healthy life.
Q’SAI USA is led by CEO Murray Brannen, who commented: ‘Q’SAI USA plans to bypass the extra costs associated with retail distribution channels, so consumers can obtain Japan’s leading health products at the best prices. Q’SAI’s mission is to help people enjoy a healthy lifestyle, and we don’t want price to be a burden. We bring scientifically proven nutrition, along with the convenience of ordering online or through a telephone call.’ Visit www.fujikale.com for more information.
