For brands outside Japan

Your partner for launching in Japan

Hagridgriff introduces carefully selected products from overseas to Japanese customers. We localize your product, launch it through crowdfunding, and look after your customers in Japanese, from the first question to after-sales support.

世界の優れた商品を、
日本へ

What we do for your brand

Japanese customers are careful buyers. They expect clear information in Japanese, reliable delivery and responsive support. We take care of all three, so you can focus on your product.

Localize

We review your product for the Japanese market and prepare what customers read: Japanese product pages, manuals and campaign copy.

Launch

We plan and run your crowdfunding campaign in Japan, then handle import, inspection and domestic delivery to backers.

Look after

We answer customer questions in Japanese, before purchase and after delivery, and keep your product selling through e-commerce and retail.

Why Hagridgriff

30+ years running a business in Japan

Our founder ran a restaurant business for more than three decades. Earning customers' trust is at the heart of how we work.

Cross-border e-commerce experience

We have exported Japanese products to South Korea through online marketplaces, and understand selling across borders.

Crowdfunding planning

We plan and support crowdfunding projects, the most effective way to introduce a new product to Japanese customers.

Long-term partnerships

Our goal is a lasting presence for your brand in Japan, not a one-off sale.

Monika Ogura, founder of Hagridgriff

From the founder

I ran a restaurant business in Japan for more than 30 years. Taking care of customers and earning their trust is what I know best.

Today I bring the same care to introducing overseas products in Japan. I work closely with each brand, and I take responsibility for everything from negotiation and Japanese support to crowdfunding and after-sales service.

Founder, Hagridgriff
