HATCH's First Real Shop Opens



HATCH is a concierge-style subscription service that delivers truly excellent items, selected by Japan's leading experts—its "selectors"—on the 8th of every month. From June 6th (Thursday) to June 24th (Monday), a pop-up store will be open on the second floor of ESTNATION Roppongi Hills store.

Focus on Products Chosen by Your Favorite "Selectors"



HATCH, a concierge-style subscription service, launched in July 2017. Users select desired products or categories from the site—such as coffee beans, rice, Kyushu vegetables, or interior goods—and choose a 6- or 12-month subscription. Then, selectors for each category carefully choose items that are delivered on the 8th of each month. The service is unique in that it handles a variety of products, not limited to a single category.

This first physical store for HATCH, which operates under the policy of "selling stories, not just products," will feature lifestyle items related to "food, living, beauty, and learning," selected by prominent selectors from various fields who have garnered media attention.

Participating Selectors
Keiko Uraji, Shinpei Kurihara,Ryuichi Sakamoto(commmons for schola), Noriko Sagara, Takao Haba, Naoyuki Honda, and approximately 25 others (in Japanese syllabary order)
