We make industrial IoT sensors. What's the best way to approach Tier-1 automotive suppliers in Japan?
Great entry point. Japanese Tier-1 automotive suppliers (Denso, Aisin, JTEKT) operate under strict keiretsu procurement structures. Here's what your approach should look like:

1. Don't cold approach — introduce through a sosha (trading company). Marubeni and Sumitomo have active automotive divisions and can facilitate introductions at the engineering level.

2. Your first 2 meetings are about trust, not sales. Bring your full technical specification in Japanese. I can help you draft that outreach email.

Drafting now in business Japanese (keigo register) with a formal introduction structure appropriate for Denso's procurement team. This will use a 貴社 opening and a 弊社 self-reference pattern...

What serious
Japan strategists say

The proprietary Jakore intelligence in the reports is unlike anything else available. We discovered a ¥200M procurement opportunity that had no public trace whatsoever.

I've paid $50,000 for Japan market entry consultants who knew less than this platform. The human editorial oversight is what makes the difference — you trust the output.
