Your Japan Desk in Europe
Your message in business Japanese.
Your data in charts they grasp at a glance.
English is the working language. Japanese is the deciding language.
Your first impression in Japan is in the wrong Japanese
Most non-Japanese companies meet Japanese buyers for the first time in English, or in Japanese that machine translation produced, on the exhibition booth, the website, the product catalogue. To a Japanese professional, machine-translated Japanese reads as careless, and the impression forms before a single conversation.
This first touch is exactly where generic AI stops being enough. It can produce Japanese that is grammatically close, but not the tone, register, and typographic care that mark a serious partner. SATOM gives you a first impression that is taken seriously from the first line.
English runs the conversation. Japanese closes the deal.
English works here
The working language between your teams, email and calls, operations and logistics, the day-to-day questions.
Japanese decides here
The language of the internal approval, the documents that circulate to approvers, the managers who never meet you, the yes or no on your proposal.
SATOM prepares the Japanese materials your customer meets at the decision stage.
For B2B teams reaching Japan without in-house Japanese
If your company is ready to reach Japanese decision makers but has no Japanese-language capability in-house, SATOM becomes that capability.
Manufacturing & Industrial
We adapt your technical materials for Japanese decision makers, handle incoming Japanese enquiries, and turn product data into charts procurement teams trust.
B2B Media
We localise your content for Japanese readers, manage Japanese-language communication with your leads, and produce clear data visualisations.
What SATOM delivers
Japan is one of the hardest markets to enter on tone alone. Machine translation misses grammar, register, and layout, and Japanese professionals notice immediately. Every deliverable is written or corrected by a native speaker with 15+ years in B2B.
