Yasuko N.

I’m a Japan-based sourcing specialist with 15+ years of experience supporting international clients in building reliable supply chains across Japan and Asia. My core strength is matcha sourcing, where I work directly with trusted tea producers and partners to secure high-quality products, including both conventional and JAS organic options. I support everything from sampling to bulk supply, ensuring smooth communication, compliance, and export readiness. I have handled orders ranging from small test batches to large-scale shipments of 100–2,000kg+, depending on client needs. Beyond matcha, I actively support OEM manufacturing and product sourcing across a wide range of industries, including jewelry, industrial components, and consumer goods. My work includes supplier identification, MOQ and price negotiation, sample coordination, and production management from prototype to mass production. In addition, I provide market research and due diligence for Japan market entry, helping businesses validate opportunities, identify reliable partners, and reduce risks before scaling. ✔ Supplier sourcing & verification ✔ OEM / manufacturing coordination ✔ Matcha procurement & export support ✔ Market research & partner identification I consistently maintain a high level of performance on Upwork, with a strong track record of client satisfaction and reliable delivery. With a strong local network and hands-on approach, I focus on delivering practical, reliable results—not just information. I am committed to connecting global clients with the quality and craftsmanship that Japan is known for.
