STAQAN PRODUCTIONS - TOKYO

If there's booze,
we'll film it.

Scroll down to meet them.

SCENE 01 / 04

One day a year.
We were there.

The fresh-hop harvest in Nagano happens only once a year. The cones are ripe for a very short window - miss it and you wait twelve months. That's the kind of moments we film: the ones nobody gets a second take on.

SCENE 02 / 04

Small on purpose.

STAQAN is two dudes. The guy who answers your email holds the camera, cuts the film, and writes the subtitles - in English, Japanese and Russian. Nothing gets lost between departments, because there aren't any.

SCENE 03 / 04

Don't take our word for it.

“STAQAN created a doc that's been helping us highlight our culture and values. Instead of lengthy explanations, we simply share the YouTube link. Seeing real people at work, hearing their voices - it communicates much more than words.”

Kota Ozawa

Son of the Smith Hard Cider, COO

“The spotlight STAQAN team produced perfectly captures the vibes and the atmosphere of my bar. We were able to show some behind-the-scenes dedication in that video, which helped more valuable customers find us.”

Shotaro Miki

Music Bar Nightfly, Owner

“Wine and craft beer already had their share of beautiful films - this was about bringing that kind of visual into cider. The way they presented us is just cool, and it's gone over well with everyone, regulars included. These days we even get customers from overseas who found us through the video.”

Hikaru Takeda

Cidernaut, Owner

“I highly recommend STAQAN. From the moment you work with them, you can tell they are true professionals. Their production quality is outstanding - from the cinematography to the audio and every detail in between. More importantly, you can genuinely feel the passion they put into their work. If you're looking for a team that delivers high-quality results and truly cares about what they create, you won't regret working with them.”
