WHAT WE DO
JSDX combines deep local market understanding, commercial execution, and cross-border coordination to support global brands at every stage from market entry through ongoing operations in Japan.
BRAND DISTRIBUTION
We purchase inventory directly from overseas brand owners and import it into Japan, distributing through wholesale channels to Japanese retail partners including major sports and lifestyle retailers as well as select direct-to-consumer platforms.
MARKET ENTRY & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
We guide overseas brands through what it actually takes to succeed in Japan: pricing structure, retail expectations, positioning, and operational readiness. Our role is to give brands a clear, honest picture of the market rather than an idealized one.
RETAIL & WHOLESALE MANAGEMENT
We build and manage relationships with Japanese retail partners, handling sell-in, account negotiation, and ongoing retail execution on the brand's behalf.
E-COMMERCE MANAGEMENT
We manage a brand's direct-to-consumer presence across Japan's major online platforms, including Amazon Japan and Rakuten, as well as brand-operated e-commerce (e.g. Shopify). This covers storefront setup and operation, listings, and day-to-day platform management run alongside wholesale to support brand visibility and sell-through without relying on it as the sole growth channel.
BRAND STRATEGY & POSITIONING
Each brand we work with is treated as its own business unit with a dedicated internal owner, responsible for strategy, pricing, and execution specific to that brand in the Japanese market.
LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP
We work with a select number of brands at a time, prioritizing depth of relationship and execution quality over rapid brand count growth and stay flexible to evolve the partnership (distribution, service agreements, joint ventures, advisory) as a brand's needs in Japan change.
