How it works

  1. Tell us your needs

    Send us the products you are looking for, expected volumes, and any certification or documentation requirements.

  2. We look for producers

    We search for Japanese producers that match your requirements and confirm their products, lot sizes and certifications.

  3. Introduction, with consent

    We share an outline of each candidate with you and introduce the two parties only when both agree.

  4. Deal directly

    Negotiation, contracts, shipping and payment take place directly between you and the producer.

Our role

MAKERS CLUB LLC is an introducer based in Tokyo. We do not buy or resell products. Contracts, shipping and payment are always between the buyer and the producer.

We currently focus on buyers in the United States, Thailand and Europe.

We do not send marketing emails to recipients in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom without their prior consent. With buyers in Europe, we communicate only when they contact us first, or through other lawful channels such as trade shows and referrals.
