Open the gibier dataJapanese ingredient sourcing for restaurants
We help restaurants find suitable Japanese producers, confirm whether supply can work, and prepare the product information a kitchen and front-of-house team need.
How an engagement works
1
Tell us the ingredient, format, volume, timing, delivery area, menu use, and constraints.
2
We identify suitable producers and products, then confirm which questions must be answered first.
3
We check availability, season, samples, documents, minimum quantities, lead time, and ordering requirements.
4
You receive the findings, producer contacts, kitchen notes, and clear next actions for sampling or purchasing.
What we check before recommending a lead
The product
Where it comes from, who makes it, how it is produced, when it is available, and what can be said plainly.
Fit for your kitchen
Menu use, prep, storage, portions, staff explanation, and whether the product earns its place.
How to order
Samples, lead time, minimums where known, paperwork, communication, payment, and who follows up.
What to tell guests
What the menu, website, and team can say accurately about the producer, origin, method, and season.
What we can establish
We reduce uncertainty before you commit menu space, staff time, or purchasing budget. Producers and logistics providers make the final decisions on availability, price, shipping, permits, exclusivity, and acceptance of an order.
What you can receive
The exact deliverables depend on the requirement, but the work can include:
Producer shortlist
Suitable producers, regions, products, known constraints, and the questions that remain before sampling or purchase.
Kitchen-use notes
Practical notes on format, preparation, storage, portions, samples, and questions for the producer.
Supplier contacts
Contacts, replies, availability, documents, ordering details, and next actions kept in one place.
Menu and staff language
Accurate wording about source, season, method, and use that the team can explain with confidence.
Website and search updates
Clear product and sourcing information for your website, Google profile, local search, photographs, and menus.
Ongoing sourcing support
Continued producer research, communication, follow-up, and information maintenance when the requirement lasts beyond one project.
