MONTAGÉ SALT Expands Its Global Presence with Market Entry into Japan and India
The destination-inspired brand enters two of Asia’s most influential culinary markets through local partnerships, targeting consumers, chefs, hotels, restaurants and premium retailers.
Bangkok, Thailand (August 25, 2026): MONTAGÉ Andaman Gourmet Salt, Thailand’s premium gourmet salt brand, is pleased to announce its expansion into Japan and India, marking an important milestone in the brand’s international growth.
Inspired by destinations, cultures, and culinary traditions worldwide, MONTAGÉ Salt transforms natural sea salt into distinctive flavour experiences. Its collection combines carefully selected ingredients with thoughtful craftsmanship, offering products suitable for everyday cooking, professional kitchens, gifting, and premium retail.
The entry into Japan and India brings MONTAGÉ into two influential yet distinctly different culinary markets.
La Ditta Singapore Pte Ltd, represented by Japanese Cuisine Goodwill Ambassador Harry Hakuei Kosato, is facilitating access to these 2 new markets in collaboration with Japanese partners Koyo Japan Co Ltd (Tokyo) / Heart-en International Inc (Kobe), and Indian partner Sushi and More India Pvt Ltd.
Japan: Japan is internationally recognised for its appreciation of ingredient quality, craftsmanship, precision, and refined presentation – values closely aligned with the MONTAGÉ philosophy. Products such as Miyazaki Yuzu Citrus Salt reflect the brand’s connection to Japanese flavours while maintaining its identity as a premium gourmet salt created in Thailand.
India: India offers a dynamic and rapidly evolving food market shaped by rich regional cuisines, a strong culture of spices and seasonings, and growing interest in premium international food products. MONTAGÉ sees significant opportunities to introduce Indian consumers, chefs, retailers, and hospitality partners to new ways of using flavoured and speciality salts.
“Japan and India are both exceptional food cultures, each with its own traditions, expectations, and ways of experiencing flavour,” said Chris Hampel, Director of Andaman Gourmet Co. “Entering these markets is not simply about expanding our distribution. It is about building meaningful connections between Thailand and two of Asia’s most inspiring culinary destinations.”
The expansion forms part of MONTAGÉ’s broader strategy to establish the brand in selected international markets through partnerships with importers, distributors, premium retailers, chefs, hotels, restaurants, and gourmet food businesses.
MONTAGÉ will approach each market individually, adapting its product selection, communication, and commercial strategy to local preferences while preserving the brand’s core commitment to quality, creativity, and distinctive flavour.
With its growing international presence, MONTAGÉ aims to represent a new generation of Thai food brands, rooted in local craftsmanship, internationally minded, and created to inspire culinary discovery.
