In collaboration with Nikaido Shuzo Co., Ltd., a company headquartered in Hiji Town, Oita Prefecture and celebrating its 160th anniversary, we have produced a three-part documentary film featuring globally active Japanese soccer player Maya Yoshida.
The project was created primarily for U.S. audiences as Nikaido Shuzo accelerates its expansion into the American market, and has been available on a dedicated website since February 2026.
Under the theme “Discover Shochu, Discover Nikaido,” the three-part series is directed by Los Angeles–based award-winning director Caleb Woods, known for his work on Emmy Award–winning productions such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. Filmed in both Hiji, Oita and Los Angeles, the project brings together a collaborative team from Japan and the United States, resulting in a work that portrays Nikaido Shuzo’s origins and the journey that continues beyond.
