"This product isn't in Japan yet."
We turn that discovery into a business.
Crowdfunding platforms and trade fairs around the world are full of excellent products that are still unknown in Japan. For an overseas manufacturer, however, Japan is a market with real barriers: language, business customs and regulatory requirements make it difficult to enter alone.
Kakehashi Products is a Japanese distributor that brings products from overseas manufacturers to this market under exclusive agreements, both online and offline. Our core business is establishing your product in Japan through e-commerce and retail alike. Crowdfunding is the tool we use for PR and for building a track record along the way. We confirm real demand first, then expand into general sales — an honest, sustainable market entry for the manufacturer and for Japanese customers alike.
