Your Tokyo account plan
Hotel and specialty-food buyers: evaluate tea, spices and pastry through tightly defined samples, product specifications and preparation trials; request Japanese-language needs before artwork work.
Complete the local brief: name the first buyer or venue in Tokyo, the product it will evaluate, the person approving the sample, the delivery/receiving point and its reorder trigger. This turns a city enquiry into an actionable account proposal.
Tokyo sample evaluation
Agree the specification before the sample
For a seafood enquiry, distinguish whole fish, fillets and portions, with declared origin and the required handling temperature. For a speciality-food range, specify the tea type, spice format, cocoa application or pastry preparation method. Ask the Tokyo buyer which product information needs translation and who will review the label text before any artwork is developed.
Build a Tokyo evaluation sheet
Give every sample a product reference and record the buyer’s acceptance criteria. Seafood trials can compare portion consistency, skin and bone requirements, preparation yield and pack weight. Ingredient and pastry trials can record taste, application, serving size and kitchen performance. Return one consolidated evaluation before requesting revised specifications.
Prepare product information for review
Identify the importer or buyer contact who will review the current specification, ingredients, allergens, shelf life and storage instructions. Confirm whether Japanese-language material is needed for the evaluation or proposed packaging. Translation, label approval and producer documentation should be agreed for the actual product and sales channel.
Quote the trial route to Tokyo
Name the receiving facility and distinguish sample transport from a commercial shipment. State the required arrival window and storage temperature, and identify who receives and evaluates the goods. A sample acceptance does not establish a production slot; ask for producer-confirmed MOQ, case configuration and lead time before planning a reorder.
What your Tokyo buyer brief should contain
- Importer, retailer or kitchen and the person approving the trial.
- Exact product, grade or species, application and preferred pack format.
- Sample quantity, evaluation criteria and initial commercial-order estimate.
- Receiving point, temperature requirements and information or translation needs.
Tokyo buyer questions
Can this proposal focus on one Tokyo outlet?
Yes. Name the trial outlet or account, its product need and expected quantity. Small trials remain subject to supplier MOQ and a workable freight basis.
When should Japanese-language product information be discussed?
Include the buyer’s information and label-language requirements in the first brief. Agree which materials need translation, who checks the wording and when artwork can be reviewed. Product availability and documentation remain subject to confirmation with the relevant producer.
Does Green Nordic hold stock in Tokyo?
This page does not promise local stock or an office. Supply location, delivery responsibilities and availability are confirmed in the quotation.
Can I request private label or a distributor programme?
Yes, as a separately qualified project. Define the brand, product specification, territory, initial order and forecast. Producer capability, terms and any local requirements must be confirmed.
