Questions

What volumes do you work with?

From specialist bakeries buying tens of kilos to manufacturers buying by the container. Small buyers are often grouped into a supplier’s existing export runs.

Can you arrange factory visits in Japan?

Yes — including itineraries around trade shows, with an interpreter for technical discussions.

How are you paid?

A fixed sourcing fee per request, agreed upfront, so our recommendations aren’t tied to which supplier you choose.
