Snack Future Conference (in collaboration with NoMaps) Let’s Meet at NoMaps2025 in Sapporo/Susukino! Special Pre-Event @ Snack Tama-chan (Snack Yano Kei Vol. 7, Wednesday, July 30, 2025)

Snack Yano Kei: Business Seminar at a Traditional Japanese pub

Yano Research Institute presents "Snack Yano Kei" - a monthly business seminar held in an intimate and engaging setting.

Our goal is to foster in-depth and insightful discussions with participants, leveraging our extensive market research data and industry expertise. "Snack Yano Kei" provides a unique opportunity to explore diverse industries, market trends, and social developments - often discuss topics that are rarely covered in daytime business seminars.

With drinks, snacks, and even the occasional song, this seminar blends business insights with a lively, relaxed atmosphere.

Why Host This Seminar at a Snack Bar?

Yano Research Institute supports Japan’s snack bar culture. More than just drinking establishments, snack bars have long served as hubs for business networking and social engagement since the Showa era. They provide a unique setting where people can learn life lessons, social etiquette, and build meaningful connections.

In today’s digital age, interpersonal communication is declining, leading to increased loneliness and social isolation. However, snack bars are gaining attention from sociologists and ???unicipal representatives as a potential solution to these societal challenges.

As a leading market research firm, Yano Research Institute has officially committed to promoting snack bar culture. In collaboration with the All-Japan Snack Federation and Office Nagamo, we are launching various projects to leverage snack bars for business and social communication. This seminar marks the first step in that initiative.
