This year marks a decade since the founding of Saikai Europe – and a new chapter, with the opening of our office in Leiden. Known more for academia than commerce, the city’s scale and character felt like a natural match. From a historic 1892 building, we’ll showcase Saikai’s in-house brands and build new partnerships across Europe, continuing a journey shaped by heritage, independence, and quiet confidence.
