Focused Product Offering for Market Introduction

Oishi brings to Vietnam the beloved Kirei Yummy Flakes in a single, signature flavor that has broad appeal among local consumers:

• Shrimp Flavor – A classic and well-loved savory option characterized by the rich umami of shrimp and a satisfying crispy texture. This is the only variant currently widely distributed in the Vietnamese market by Oishi.

For Vietnam, Oishi Kirei Yummy Flakes are currently available in a single pack format, simplifying product selection and distribution.

• Trial-Sized Packs: The product is primarily offered in small, trial-friendly pouch sizes - ideal for impulse purchases, bundling, and sampling in retail channels such as convenience stores, mini-marts, and online grocery platforms. These trial pack sizes typically range from 6g to 34g snack-bag formats, which are popular for individual consumption.

This focused variant and compact format makes Kirei Yummy Flakes especially suitable for snack aisles, convenience counters, and inclusion in multi-pack assortments, helping retailers attract trial purchases and repeat buyers.

Quality Assurance & Certifications

Distribution Approach Designed for Market Testing

From an exporter’s standpoint, Oishi Kirei Yummy Flakes are particularly suitable for importers looking to test consumer response to seafood-flavored snacks with minimal complexity. The product’s single shrimp flavor and trial-sized pack format allow importers to introduce the category without overextending SKU count or inventory exposure.

1/ Recommended Distribution Channels:

• Modern Trade: Supermarkets, hypermarkets, minimarts, and convenience store chains
• Traditional Retail: Independent grocery stores, kiosks, and neighborhood stores
• Wholesale: Master wholesalers and secondary distribution networks

2/ Channel Performance Insights

We recommend starting distribution in channels where impulse purchasing and flavor experimentation are common. In modern trade, the small pack size supports trial purchases at checkout or snack aisles. In traditional retail and wholesale environments, the familiar shrimp flavor helps lower the barrier for first-time buyers in markets where seafood snacks are still emerging.

3/ Merchandising Efficiency & Shelf Impact

For importers, the single-pack, compact format simplifies merchandising decisions. The product can be displayed using hanging strips, countertop placements, or dense shelf facings, making it easy to test placement effectiveness while keeping shelf space requirements minimal.

4/ Promotional & Bundling Flexibility

From an exporter’s perspective, the product is well-suited for bundling, sampler packs, and promotional tie-ins, helping importers test different merchandising strategies during early-stage market development.

5/ Turnover & Replenishment Considerations

When used as a market-testing SKU, Kirei Yummy Flakes support frequent replenishment in small volumes, allowing importers to closely monitor demand patterns before scaling distribution or expanding into additional seafood snack offerings.
