NEXORA G.K.
Two things bring people to us. Either they have a product that would sell in Japan and no idea how to get it here, or they need a raw material and want a supplier who will handle the paperwork properly. We do both, from the same office in Ginza.

About NEXORA
What we actually do
A lot of trade goes wrong in the gap between agreeing a price and getting the goods cleared. Specifications turn out to be different from what was quoted. A certificate is missing. The importer discovers a regulation nobody mentioned. We spend most of our time closing that gap before anyone commits.
That means checking suppliers ourselves, pinning down specifications in writing, and settling the import requirements early. It applies whether we are bringing a product into Japan for a producer abroad or sourcing a raw material for a buyer here.
Our business
Two areas of work
Premium foods and Japan market entry
We import premium foods into Japan, and we help producers abroad work out whether their product belongs here and how to get it in front of the right buyers.
Food and chemical raw material sourcing
Import and export of industrial and food-grade chemical raw materials and additives. We find the supplier, confirm the specification, and get the documentation in order before anything ships.
Who we work with
Where you might fit
Buyers in Japan
Importers, food manufacturers, hotels and restaurants buying from abroad. You want the specification confirmed and the customs position settled before the container leaves.
Send a sourcing requestBuyers outside Japan
If you are sourcing food or chemical raw materials and tired of chasing suppliers for documents that should have come with the quote, this is the part we take on.
Send a sourcing requestProducers looking at Japan
You have a product that could work here but no route in. We set up the import side, deal with the regulations, position the brand, and introduce you to buyers.
Talk about market entryCapabilities
What we handle
Brand development
Positioning, naming, packaging direction. A Japanese buyer will ask where a product sits in the market before they ask about price, and it helps to have an answer ready.
Compliance
The Food Sanitation Act, import regulations, and CITES procedures where a product falls under them. We deal with this at the start rather than when the shipment is already moving.
Logistics coordination
Routing, freight, customs, and cold chain when the product needs it.
OEM
Contract production and private label with manufacturers we have worked with before, made to your specification.
Market development
Choosing a channel, making introductions, and staying involved afterwards so a first order turns into a standing one.

Two things people come to us for
Import agency
We take on the whole import: finding the supplier, negotiating, shipping, customs and the filings. You do not need a trade person on staff.
About import agencyMiddle East trade
Importing from the Middle East and exporting Japanese goods into it. UAE, Türkiye and the Gulf, in both directions.
About Middle East tradeOur own brand
TIRAN
Beluga caviar
TIRAN is NEXORA's own caviar brand, and the clearest example of the work we do. We source it abroad, handle the import under the Japanese laws and regulations that apply to it, and place it with restaurants and hotels here. When a producer asks what market entry looks like in practice, this is usually the answer we give.
Alongside our proprietary brands, we also support third-party producers and buyers through import, sourcing and market-entry projects.

How we work
From first inquiry to repeat supply
-
You tell us what you need
Grade, specification, quantity, packaging, destination. If something is still open we would rather sort it out now than three weeks in.
-
We find and check suppliers
We identify candidates, look at their documentation and production capability, and come back with options that have real specifications attached.
-
Paperwork and compliance
Import requirements, certificates, certificates of analysis, and CITES procedures where they apply. We review supplier credentials, product specifications and supporting documentation before commercial commitment.
-
Shipping
We arrange the route, freight, customs and handling, and keep track of it. Anything the product needs in transit is agreed in advance.
-
Delivery, then the next one
The first delivery tells you whether we are worth working with. We are set up for repeat supply on stable terms, which is where this becomes worthwhile for both sides.
One person stays with your inquiry from start to finish. Nothing gets passed to a party you have not been introduced to.
Tell us what you need
Send the specification and we will come back with what we can source, what it will take to clear it, and how it would ship.
