Japan Insider's International Trading division connects Japanese producers with markets across the Middle East
Japan Insider's International Trading division connects Japanese producers with markets across the Middle East — exporting authentic Japanese products to our overseas partners, and importing carefully selected overseas products into Japan. Built on our CEO's long-standing experience working across Japanese and Arab business circles, our trading operations combine deep supplier relationships in Japan with an on-the-ground understanding of what our overseas clients need.
We handle the full journey: sourcing, quality control, documentation, logistics, and delivery — so our partners can focus on their business, not the paperwork
We work directly with some of Japan's largest and oldest matcha manufacturers, cutting out unnecessary middlemen so our overseas clients receive genuinely high-quality matcha at highly competitive prices. Every batch we export reflects generations of Japanese craftsmanship, stone-ground the traditional way from shade-grown tencha leaves.
Rather than buying through trading intermediaries, we source straight from established producers in Japan's most respected tea-growing regions, including Uji — the historic birthplace of Japanese matcha. This gives us both pricing power and full traceability, from farm to cup.
Matcha isn't one product — it spans ceremonial, premium, and culinary grades, each suited to a different use, from traditional tea ceremony to lattes, desserts, and food service. We help our clients choose the right grade for their menu or market, not just sell them a single SKU.
Because we work with the same manufacturers over time, we understand their processes, their harvests, and their quality standards — allowing us to guarantee consistency shipment after shipment.
We also export houjicha (roasted green tea) and other traditional Japanese teas, giving our overseas partners a broader, authentic Japanese tea offering under one trusted supplier.
We manage all the documentation, certification, and logistics required to move matcha out of Japan and into our partners' hands — so importers don't need to navigate Japanese export processes on their own.
Egypt is one of our largest markets for Japanese matcha exports. There, we work through our partner, Uji Trading, to distribute matcha directly to restaurants and cafés — putting authentic Japanese matcha in front of the growing community of chefs, baristas, and tea lovers across the country.
This partner-led distribution model is central to how we grow: rather than simply shipping product, we build local partnerships that understand their own markets and can introduce Japanese matcha the right way, to the right customers.
