Business Ochazuke

商业茶泡饭 (Business Ochazuke) is a Chinese-language podcast that looks at business through everyday life in Japan. Rather than big-picture financial narratives, each episode starts from real brands, consumer habits, and daily-life stories to uncover the business logic behind them.

The show is hosted by Nexthing CEO Milan Chiang with rotating co-hosts, including Bessie Lee, Nexthing's Chief Representative of International Business.

Episodes have explored:

  • How TOTO, the world's best-known toilet maker, built a profitable semiconductor components business

  • Why grocery shopping in Japan means visiting five or six different stores

  • What Calbee gained from selling its snacks in black-and-white packaging for three months

  • How Fujifilm moved from photographic film into skincare and biopharmaceuticals

  • How the Setouchi art festivals turned art into a regional business

Listen on 小宇宙 (Xiaoyuzhou) or 喜马拉雅 (Ximalaya).
