Import Crate Returns to San Japan 2026

Import Crate returned to San Japan 2026 in San Antonio, Texas, bringing Japanese car scents, JDM-inspired apparel, automotive artwork, posters, and accessories to the Vendor Hall.

San Japan is a strong example of where anime culture and Japanese car culture meet. The event’s Itasha car show adds another connection point for attendees who already understand the relationship between cars, Japanese design, anime, and personal expression.

For wholesale, that crossover is important.

Treefrog and other Japanese car scents work because they are not only functional products. They are recognizable pieces of Japanese car culture that fit naturally beside anime merchandise, automotive accessories, Japanese snacks, collectibles, apparel, and lifestyle products.

At San Japan, we also saw the value of physical presentation. Products that are easy to see, touch, compare, and understand create more conversation at a booth. That same principle applies in a store: a small, visible display can introduce customers to a product category they may not have been actively looking for.

For retailers, Japanese car scents offer a compact product with repeat-sale potential. They require no installation, are easy to merchandise, and give customers an accessible way to bring part of Japanese car culture into their daily drive.

Import Crate is the authorized U.S. distributor of Treefrog and carries the full product line for wholesale customers.

If your store serves anime fans, car fans, Japanese-culture customers, or lifestyle shoppers, Japanese car scents can complement the products you already sell.
