It's about 90 degrees on the mountain. I'm sitting in the backyard amongst the scented pine trees and squawking stellar jays after a summer storm. Gaining beer-spiration for my next article, I've pulled out a bottle of Alpine's Duet to sip on. As beads of condensation build upon my glass, I notice the beer feed being overrun with a new "beer for women." Duet, did you just change your slogan?
Czech-Republic brewery Aurosa has released an elegantly designed champagne-esque bottle in a soft pink color. The beer is an unfiltered lager dubbed as the "first beer for her." As a craft beer enthusiasts and female who has worked in the industry, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept.
A pink beer bottle "for her"? The craft beer drinking women I know spend more time perusing their favorite bottle shop than they do looking for a pair of shoes with a matching pink bag. While the intentions may have been good, the marketing is a blunder.
Aurosa markets its pretty new bottles as a "representation of a woman's strength and a girl's tenderness" going on to further state that "women have been disregarded in the beer industry." While it is not the intention to bash Aurosa, their attempt to create a new marketing angle to attract female beer drinkers couldn't be further from the reality.
From my experience running a taproom, nothing makes a female beertender cringe more than having someone order a "girly beer". For us girls, that beer doesn't exist. Sours, IPAs, imperial porters, rye ales, saisons, breakfast stouts, the list of beer styles that female imbibers love to drink is as endless as beer recipes. For female beer lovers, summing up a girly beer into one single bottle is not only ludicrous, it's impossible.
What Aurosa may have failed to recognize in their marketing campaign is the history of beer itself. Women drink beer. More than that, women have long been responsible for brewing beer. Since the beginning of civilization, women have been brewsters. In fact, it was their job.
Women Brewers in History
In ancient times, beer was represented by a goddess - not a god. The oldest written beer record - Hymn to Ninkasi - is a beer recipe and praise for the goddess of brewing Ninkasi. Sumerian women were honored as priestesses for this beer goddess and were responsible for brewing beer for religious ceremonies, as well as society.
Viking women were exclusive brewers of aul and would match the men drink for drink. In England, alewives were responsible for brewing the household beer until the 13th century. Upon entering America, colonial women brewed in their kitchens. In Peru, women are still responsible for making the corn-based brew Chicha. The list of cultures that relied - and still rely - on the role of the female brewer goes on and on.
It wasn't until beer turned into profit that the role of brewer took a drastic turn. Expanding beyond the home to a commercialized trade, the gender roles of beer making were reversed. What would become a male dominated industry for decades took hold. While women may have taken the back burner in recognition as men began to dominate the industry, women never stopped brewing.
Powerful Brewers Today
Averie Swanson Promoted to Head Brewer! We have a very exciting announcement to make at Jester King Brewery! We could not be more pleased to announce that our Brewery Production Manager Averie Swanson has been promoted to Head Brewer! Averie has been with us at Jester King for over four years now. She has risen from volunteer, to apprentice, to brewer, to Brewery Production Manager, to Head Brewer! She has displayed wonderful commitment, intelligence, ingenuity, and leadership along the way. Her promotion is testament to the power of hard work and dedication. As our Brewery Production Manager, Averie oversaw and ran beer making at Jester King. She coordinated our brewing and fermentation schedule, managed barrel aging, blending, and fruit refermentation, supervised our brewers and packaging team, sourced raw materials, came up with scores of creative new ideas for beers, and fixed innumerable everyday problems through sheer commitment and grit. She will continue on with all of these responsibilities as Head Brewer. On top of all these duties, Averie has been a wealth of new and powerful ideas for other parts of the business, as a member of Jester King's management team. She has and will continue to represent Jester King with professionalism and class at home and abroad by managing our offsite events and giving brewery tours. Overall, we could not be more pleased with the job Averie has done over the years at Jester King, and can not think of a more deserved and qualified person for this promotion. We're excited to see an important driver of our process and product over the last several years take the helm. We fully expect her to continue to do great things for us for years to come! If you happen across Averie at the brewery or out there in the beer world, I'd encourage you to congratulate her on this most merited accomplishment. Cheers, Jeffrey Stuffings Founder Jester King Brewery http://jesterkingbrewery.com/averie-swanson-promoted-to-head-brewer
In modern day society, there is an incredible list of women that pioneered the craft beer industry we know today. Mellie Pullman is the first female brewer in contemporary American history - she also helped launch Utah's first craft brewery Wasatch. Carol Stoudt became the first female proprietor and brewer in 1987. California's Lost Coast Brewing was founded by the first female team - Barbara Groom and Wendy Pound.
Then there are females like Annie Johnson who was the first female and African American to win the American Homebrewers Association's Brewer of the Year Award in thirty years since 1983. An impressive feet in itself. You can bet that none of these women took to brewing because women needed a palatable beer just for them.
The list of women paving the way and making headlines in the industry is growing. Women are taking on every role beer has to offer and pumping out brews that are just as good - if not better - than their male counterpart. Just look at the Pink Boots Society.
The Pink Boots Society
The Pink Boots Society is a nonprofit organization that has created a hub where professionals can gather to "assist, inspire, and encourage" others to "advance their careers through education" - oh, and they're all women. With the president being none other than Stone's Small Batch Brewer Laura Ulrich, this group of women are pioneering their own way through the industry.
By marketing beer separately for women, Aurosa is solidifying that there is a difference between beer and beer for her. They're creating a gender gap in an industry that has worked hard to destroy it.
The sexism is not between industry professional - the industry males I've worked with are more than impressed by their female counterpart - it lies in creating a product reinforcing a stereotype that women don't drink beer. And furthermore, that they prefer to drink one in pretty pink packaging.
For female beer drinkers "a women's strength and a girl's tenderness" is not defined by a bottle in pink packing.
It's defined by hoisting sacks of grain, dragging around heavy hoses between fermenters, maneuvering kegs like nobodies business, and drinking a final product worthy of the title beer - while possibly wearing pink brewers boots in the process.
?WEDNESDAY WORKOUTS at the brewery? WEEK 4 • Windshield Wipers Duration • 3 sets of 10 reps side-to-side and up-and-down Muscle group • Core, specifically oblique muscles In this fourth Brewery workout video we are at @culturebrewingco and our head-brewer Aleks has agreed to show off one of my most favorite core workouts! Not much explanation is needed here, but an empty 1/2 bbl keg weighs about 30 pounds and provides the grounding needed to engage the core. Empty grain bags are not as comfy as a yoga mat but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! If you have something clever you do to keep in shape while at the brewery, and would like to be featured on a Wednesday Workout video, email: [email protected] and we will pay you a visit! Cheers and stay strong! ??? #workout #staystrong #obliques #brewery #kegs
To be fair, there are women that don't drink beer. Some women don't like beer. And those women won't be persuaded by a pink bottle. Beer still tastes like beer. And for those of us that drink it, we don't need a product brewed "for us". Because quite frankly, a lager is probably not the beer style we would choose - at least speaking for myself.
We want beers like Russian River's Supplication, The Alchemist's Heady Topper, Maine's Lunch, and Denali's Chuli Stout - I'll stop because this list has no end. We want beer that tastes like the exceptional brew it is. Beer that is marketed as the product it is. We just want good beer.
It's best to leave the color pink to the professionals of the Pink Boots Society. Women love beer. Women make beer. Women drink beer. We don't need a special beer telling us what we like. We like beer.

It's been a long time since yellow-coated detective Dick Tracy ruled comics, but he's coming back in a big way thanks to a new series from Archie Comics.
RELATED: Veronica is a Blood Sucker in Archie's New Vampironica Series
The series, announced via The Hollywood Reporter, is co-written by Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, the former of whom is co-president of Archie Comics. Thomas Pitilli will be handling artwork; he previously illustrated covers for Archie's Riverdale comic.
"The term 'dream come true' is a painful cliche, but also extremely accurate in this situation," Segura told THR, a notion echoed by Moreci, who added, "I'm still pinching myself over this. I can't believe this is really happening. To have an opportunity to contribute to this tremendous legacy is an honor and a thrill, and I'm so lucky to be working with Alex, Tom and Archie. Alex is a friend and a great writer, and Tom is an artist of boundless talent. I think we're doing something special here, and I can't wait to take readers on a fun, wild ride for, hopefully, years to come."
Created by cartoonist Chester Gould, Dick Tracy first appeared in a 1931 edition of the Detroit Mirror newspaper. Gould worked on the comic strip until 1977. The new comic series, written by Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, with art by Thomas Pitilli and covers by Francesco Francavilla, arrives in comic stores April 11.

Isla's Promise - Part 1
In preparation for next week's release of the Isla's Promise music video, this is the first installment of a two-part blog post about the recording of the song and the making of the video. This week we'll focus on the writing and recording of the song.
In case you haven't heard Isla's Promise, here it is:
The story of how I came up with Isla's Promise is explained in this short video I made for a Kickstarter campaign a little while back.
Early drafts of this song were a lot different from the final product, they were more indie and experimental. I love the final draft, but it's always fun to go back and hear a song when it's raw and undeveloped. You find something that feels more pure and organic that you don't get from the studio version.
Isla's Promise - Early Demo:
We had started recording Witness Protection Program way back in 2011 with Evan Kasper at Ohm studio, but Isla's Promise was the first song that we recorded specifically for the Language of Ghosts sessions at Public HiFi in Austin with Brad Bell. We finished it at Good Danny's with Grant Johnson in November 2013.
I wasn't sure what direction the recording would take but I knew that I wanted the song to live up to its full potential, whatever that meant. Because it was my first time in the studio I think I got trigger happy at times and thought, "Let's add this instrument, and that one there. Oh, and wouldn't it be cool to have this…" So we ended up with over a hundred tracks of instruments, vocals and harmonies.
Subconsciously, I think I just wanted to get all of my ideas out of my system. I've got to give a lot of credit to my production team Grant, Maurice and Matt for helping edit the song down to the most essential elements. For good or bad, every second of this song, and the emotion it should evoke, was thought through.
The recorded version was originally 5:21, but we chopped out an entire verse to bring it to four minutes even, and I think it was an editing decision that really helped the song. It helped the video as well, because it makes things move a lot faster.
I felt the song's style lent itself to bagpipes. I wanted to communicate how traveling in Scotland inspired the melody and nothing screams Scotland like bagpipes. I also think the rarity of the instrument in pop music made me excited to use it. Before the song was recorded I used to sing it and tell people, "And this is where the bagpipes will go." It got good laughs, but I was actually serious.
I searched online and found Doug Slauson, a real Texas cowboy who also happens to be a world-class bagpiper and Pipe Master of
Silver Thistle Pipes and Drums of Austin
. The first morning of the session, Doug walked into the studio and started tuning his pipes at full force. I remember how their volume made the studio swell. I think my engineer Brad Bell realized at that point that I was serious about the bagpipes. He kind of paused for a second then looked at me and said, "Welp, let's record some expletive bagpipes!"
Next week we'll premier the Isla's Promise music video and tell you how we made it!

The race is not always to the swift. The battle is not always to the strong. But that's the way to bet.
-- Damon Runyon
Since the celluloid Gipper has repaired to California and the call to win things for him has happily left the language, maybe it is not too impolite now to remember that the real George Gipp of Notre Dame was a low-life gambler who openly bet on his own football games and everything else from cards and craps to flies landing on sugar cubes. Gipp seldom attended class and only occasionally graced football practice. The sentimental writer...

O.S.P. DoLive Stick 6" Spec 2 - Honey Flash TW126
- Brand: O.S.P.
One of our most popular soft plastic lures ever. You won't even need to open the packet before you can smell them either! Far from being one of those 'plasticy' soft plastics, they stink of crab -or some similar smelly thing. Personally I love these kind of disgusting things.
The spec 2 versions contain less salt so are slightly more buoyant.
6 inches, 6 per pack
They actually include a number of interesting features that put them above the majority of soft baits. The 'flavour' I have already mentioned, but starting at the head end, they have 3 small holes on the bottom of the bait which are designed as a guide to suggested hooking positions. They are intended for fishing weightless using around a 5/0 Worm hook, but also sit nicely on a jighead if more weight is required and you want to bounce them across the bottom and send a few vibrations down the line to get their tails vibrating! Using the hole closest to the nose will make the bait sink more quickly and 'nose-down', while using the further back hooking position will allow the bait to sink more vertically and display the sinking characteristics visible in the video. Even while it's just sinking under it's own weight, this thing will be wagging it's take from side to side like a happy puppy while it sinks through the depths and towards Mr Bass or Wrasse. In addition, both the back and the belly include a shallow hook grove, in to which a weedless hook will sit, nice and tidily out of the way.
The bait is extremely soft and supply, but maintains some strength to prevent ripping or tearing. I've been using them for a couple of months now having grabbed some samples and to be honest, they're just superb! If you're looking for another top quality soft bait to add to your collection, check these out!
For another weedless, weightless option also check out the Fish Arrow Flash J 5" straight, split or paddle versions.
- Our stock: Out Of Stock
Ben says:
"Weedless/weightless bass classic."
- Length: ()
- Weight: 13.6g
- Buoyancy: Sinking
- Type: Senko/Worms
- Pack size: 6

Customer lifetime value (CLV) can have a dramatic effect on your restaurant's financial health. Focusing on CLV, instead of looking just at revenue and cost breakdowns, provides a unique perspective on ways to drive success.
So, what are some ways to increase lifetime value?
Run Retention / "Win-Back" Campaigns
If a customer's slipping away, it'd be great to send them a timely message (possibly with a special, personalized discount) to encourage them to come back.
These campaigns can be automated and delivered via e-mail or SMS/text. Make sure that customers can reply to the message, so they can tell you if they have a valid reason for not returning, such as a problem with their last order. This gives you an opportunity to connect with that customer, fix the relationship, and keep them coming back.
Use Customer Feedback
Customer retention is vital to customer lifetime value. Work to keep customers coming back by listening to their feedback and addressing their concerns.
- Put a system in place to monitor and respond to reviews on sites like Yelp and Google
- Provide feedback surveys to give customers a way to tell you when something's wrong, and keep them from going to public outlets like Yelp or social media
- Respond quickly to customer feedback, whether on Yelp, social media, or via a feedback survey
Provide Easy Ordering to Drive Repeat Sales
If you do lots of delivery and carryout, customers must have an easy, convenient ordering experience -- both for first-time and repeat customers.
- Don't keep customers waiting on hold for call-ins; consider options to reduce hold times, if customers are consistently waiting on hold
- Provide an easy-to-use online ordering system
- Make sure your online ordering system can save customer and payment information for easy repeat purchases
"If it's easy and convenient, then customers are more apt to order more often."
—Luke Jackson, Johnny's Pizza
Sell Them More Stuff
I saved this point for last because, let's face it: there's only so much you can charge for a pizza. So you can't just raise prices to make more money, and you risk driving customers away!
The best way to increase check size is through upselling and cross-selling, to get customers to buy more, with higher margins for you.
- Create a plan for what types of upsells and cross-sells you want to use
- Train your front of house staff on suggestive selling, using your plan
- Consider providing rewards for the staff on their sales success
- Ensure that your other systems, like online ordering, provide a cross-selling function

Hello from Sea Isle City, NJ! My family has been coming here every summer for a couple of years now and it is such a cute, family friendly getaway town. A bunch of my extended fan is here as well so we went to Carmen's Seafood Restaurant for an amazing meal by the dock.
It was a warm and balmy summer night so I opted for this Americana, nautical-esque halter top from Zaful, high-waisted shorts, and strappy sandals. In addition, I have been wearing this small backpack that is the perfect size to carry my phone, wallet and dslr!

They're on top of everything. You can't go wrong with them! A+++ "

" We interviewed several realtors before deciding on Liane. We selected her because of her knowledge of the business, the local market, her one paragraph summary of our house (far and away the best write-up), and marketing approach. She understood the property, how it was landscaped, us as sellers, and the kind of client(s) we needed to complete the sale. We had an offer from the ultimate buyer in the first few weeks of...

He was on top of things--quick to notice any new properties coming up that fit what my husband and I were looking for.

Most importantly, he was always very honest with us. I al... " See more

text: Municipal Reservoir Water Liquid Level Sensor: County Water District needed reliable level measurement of their precious reservoirs, they turned to Holykell. As water from the River transfers to the county, its retained and level monitored in their network of ponds. The municipality was using ultrasonic sensors that became erratic when the winds would blow floating vegetation against the pond bank, collecting under the sensor, and disrupting the acoustic signal return. For this reason, Holykell suggested the use of our guided wave sensors that house the antenna within a protective stainless pipe, separated from plant debris. The result is reliable water reservoir level measurement. An guided wave radar level transmitter is bracket mounted to a support structure near the pond bank. The IP65 sensor was easily set up using our configuration software. The 4-20 mA signal is connected to the SCADA for level measurement, control and alarms. Holykell is reliable level measurement.

It was fun making this quilt. Each house represented my neighbors and friends. Our neighborhood was the friendliest neighborhood, as warm and cozy as this quilt.
I used freezer paper for the templates for little windows and doors, chimneys and rooftops.. it was like being an architect and urban planner all in one!
I enjoyed picking colors and prints for the houses. The pattern had appliqued tree stumps and then embroidered branches with buttons.. Well, I for one was not a big fan of buttons.. So after following the pattern for two or three trees, I ripped out the embroidered branches and decided to applique them. Added leaves to make them look like the trees I wanted. The pencil marks I had made for the branches were now quite visible but I did not care. I had seen many of those in a finished quilt or embroidered wall hangings in India. I thought it was just part of a handmade textile art.
I honestly have no idea what needle or batting I used. Looking at these stitches, make me even wonder if I ever did this! Those stitches are tiny! I could not pick a favorite when it came to the houses. They are all so cute!
I do know one thing, I wasn't spending a lot of money on this craft. There was no matching thread to the applique fabrics.
Check out my stitches with white thread on dark brown appliqued tree branches. I have always loved seeing my stitches.. good or bad.. I have always been a fan of imperfections of handmade things.. or traces of human hands in crafts.
So here it is on the clothesline.
and the back.
I used 1/4'' quilting tape for diagonal quilting. Stippling with machine was a big deal.. it was something I could never do.. My machine was not even equipped with darning foot. So I decided to stipple with hand quilting. Who does that?
That local quilt/fabric shop had it's annual quilt show. I entered the quilt just to see it hanging somewhere other than on my dining room wall.
It won me my first ever ribbon!!! Second place in hand applique category. Not bad right?
I honestly don't remember which year it was. But looking at Kavita, I believe she was in preschool and it had to be around 1999.. This is why it is important to date and sign the quilts which I clearly did not do.

bringing 2 U events & happenings in and around Ipoh … & beyond…
The sago palms thrived in the peat soils of the Rajang Delta in the 19th century. Thus, local chieftains became wealthy from the labour of local farmers who extracted the starchy pith of tall palms manually. Subsequently, sago factories streamlined this process.
In the early 20th century, the price of sago flour plunged, causing this factory to close down. This chimney is located along Jalan Pasar in Mukah, just down the road from the wet market, is all that is left behind from those golden days. It is now a historical landmark of Mukah town.

Don't miss these too!
I was there visiting the chimney twice.
Why twice, Thomas? Any hidden secret I do not know about?
Twice was to check whether it's really a sago factory chimney after i found a working one in Kanthan,Perak!
and it's.

Gravel: Glenview Gold, ton bags
One of the most attractive and functional gravels for driveways and parking areas.
A deservedly popular gravel from the Leitrim / Roscommon area, this angular, pale golden / fawn coloured gravel is extremely popular for parking areas because of its jagged shape, which beds down particularly solidly. Occasional raking will keep it looking fresh and attractive. The gravel will have some dust on it upon delivery. This is entirely natural and will wash off in the first rain. 6mm is a fine gravel, which put thinly over a compacted layer of Ballylusk dust makes for a firm path suitable for wheelchairs etc. 10mm is standard for most pedestrian garden paths. 14 mm or 20mm is most often used for driveways and parking areas.
1 ton of gravel covers approximately 20 sq metres to a depth of 2.5cms.
€30 delivery charge, applicable once on any order which contains heavy items such as this. After ordering, we will contact you to arrange delivery which is usually within 3 working days. Please contact our office in Monkstown on 01 2020027 if you have any questions.

I played softball last night with a team I've been on for over 6 years. Most of the core of our team has been together for at least 3 seasons now and we're one of the top teams in Zogsports.
One of our guys went the other way on a tough pitch and drove a line drive to right field and I commented to Jeremy that this was the best I've ever seen our team hit. The funny thing was that the score was only 8-5 at that point and we had just racked up 19 runs the game before.
Will scored on the play and immediately came up to me, saying "This is the best we've ever hit."
"Dude, I just said the same exact thing to Jeremy!"
Yet, we didn't even have half the runs we rang up last week--so what was the difference? Isn't out come the only thing that counts?
The week before, I homered off the top of the right fielders glove--she had gotten all sorts of twisted around and couldn't make the play. For every home run we had, we popped the ball up the batter before. We swung at a lot of bad pitches--and while some of those turned out to be hits, nine times out of ten, if we hit like that, we wouldn't win against a good team.
But last night was different. Every shot was hit hard--even though many of them went right to one of the fielders.
There's a stat in baseball called "Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP)". In a way, it's a measure of luck. Usually when you hit the ball, something good happens a certain percentage of the time. Sometimes, the balls just always seem to wind up in spots where there are no fielders. Other times, you're hitting it right at where the fielders are. A lot of this is just dumb luck--or the randomness of a small sample size. Over the long run, these things balance out. I would take the way we hit last night over the way we hit the week before anytime, no matter what the run total is.
Outcomes are often disconnected from effort and skill. Sometimes the ball just drops in the right place. The same thing happens in startups. A small team working for a year or so with little to no revenues normally doesn't produce multi-hundred or even billion dollar outcomes. Sometimes, you find a hole the same way someone swings at a bad pitch and pops it right over a misplaced fielders head. Normally, that's a hit, but it's not usually a home run. It's not to take anything away from companies that have gotten there like that--many of them have built great products--but there are a lot of companies working their asses off growing revenues month by month, and they'll never ever get to a billion dollar outcome.
I've had a couple of people pitch me and say, "We're not an Instagram", because their business wasn't a viral consumer play. They built something, sold it to someone else, etc. You know, old school. As an investor, I'll take those all the time.
A billion dollars is awesome and so is 19 runs in a softball game. That doesn't mean that someone built a better or more sustainable business. I'd rather get a good swing on a pitch and hit it right at someone, because if I come up with a swing like that every at-bat, good things will happen. When it comes to building companies, you want to work hard, build thoughtfully with a business in mind, and move towards goals. Do that well and you'll be fine. You might not be the next Twitter that way, but neither will most of the people who tried to be the next Twitter.

Business Background Investigations
by Japan PI
Verification Before Trust
Japan is the third-largest economy in the world and a country with unique business customs and legal and financial systems as well as a unique culture and moral code of its citizens.
However, as with other countries in the world, Japan is also home to shady characters and businesses. Even so, such shady businesses and practices might not be so obvious to foreigners who are new to Japan.
Due Diligence & Cultural Bridge
Are you contemplating a new partnership, joint venture, merger, or corporate restructuring? Then consider the benefits of a due diligence investigation. In today's business environment, timely and accurate intelligence isn't an option; it's a necessity.
Before your business dealings, due diligence is essential in avoiding all kinds of risks.
Japan has its unique business practices. Japan PI can provide in-depth local intelligence based on its extensive experience as the bilingual private investigation firm in Japan.
Bespoken Due Diligence
We specialize in conducting due diligence on any aspect of corporate or commercial business transactions, providing the information you require to trust partners and settle terms according to the best of your interests.
Our services include but are not limited to:

Also, You can check if the financial agency is the commercial license holder in Japan at this site. Financial License Holders, FSA Japan
Sample Reports
FAQ's For Business Due Diligence
Criminal records are strictly confidential in Japan. Even a signed release from the person himself/herself does not work at all at Japanese police.
But criminality check is available. It is an anti-social list (blacklist) check and a media coverage search for any criminal records.
To run a check, we need subject's name in the Japanese character. Otherwise, the integrity of the verification diminishes due to the numerous numbers of homonyms in the Japanese language.
No. We can't obtain it as a proxy of the subject.
As Japan is not based on common law, the Japanese government does not have the police background check system domestically. Therefore, they are quite reluctant to issue this certificate because it contradicts the domestic rules. However, they are aware the certificate of criminal records is required for immigration or employment purposes, they issue the certificate only for the international purposes.
The person himself/herself must visit the police head office or Japanese embassy to apply for the certificate of criminal records (警察証明/犯罪経歴証明/渡航証明). Fingerprints must be submitted to the application as well. The police will collect the fingerprints in the head office of the police in each prefecture.
The third party can't apply for the document even though we are provided with the signed release from the person himself/herself.
For more details, please refer to the following site.
How To Apply For Certificate Of Criminal Record (Tokyo Metropolitan Police)
Company registry records include name, address, capital, date of establishment, line of business, directors.
Company credit reports from the proprietary databases such as TSR or TDB will include name, address, capital, date of establishment, line of business, directors, customers/suppliers, shareholders, brief financial statement, etc.
Japanese companies are not required to disclose their financial statements unless they are publicly listed companies. So it is not possible to find their financial statements in the publicly available databases.
But the company credit reports of the majority of Japanese companies are available in TDB (Teikoku Data Bank) or TSR (Tokyo Shoko Research). That way, we will find out the debts of the subject company.
