日本とアメリカ、その間を仕事にする。
USA ⇄ Japan / Business development / Execution
We workin between.
間に入り、前に進める。
Saburi Works helps companies move between markets without losing what made them valuable in the first place. We do it through marketing, business development, coordination, sourcing, and execution.

01 / Purposeつなぐだけで、終わらない。
Not a broker.
Not just an agency.
We stay until it moves.紹介で終わらない。現場まで入り、形にする。
The valuable part of cross-border work is rarely the introduction alone. It is understanding what each side means, what each side needs, and carrying the work through the messy middle.

02 / The Fixer
TheFixer.
「フィクサー」という肩書きではなく、役割。
Some projects do not fit inside a service menu. They need someone who can enter the situation, understand the people, find the missing piece, and get the work moving.
The role現地支援 / 事業開発 / コーディネート
Not a title.
A role.
「フィクサー」という肩書きではなく、
必要なことを見つけ、つなぎ、前に進める役割。
必要なことを見つけ、つなぎ、前に進める役割。
That is the role Saburi Works is built to play between the U.S. and Japan. On the Japanese side, we describe the work more literally: local coordination, business development, market support, and hands-on execution.

How the
work moves.
A fixer is only useful if the process is clear. We keep the method simple enough to move fast, and disciplined enough to protect the relationship and the result.

Tokyo moves differently than Niigata. A factory conversation moves differently than a pitch meeting. The job is not to force one style onto the other. It is to understand both, then make the handoff clean.

06 / About
Family isthe bridge.
佐分利という名前から始まり、日米をつなぐ仕事へ。
A father-and-son company working both sides of the Pacific together, on the same problem from both ends: the market, the work, and the people.
SaburiTwo people. One family. Two sides of the Pacific.
Saburi family

Saburi family crest / 佐分利 家紋

the family.
佐分利という名前から始まり、日米をつなぐ仕事へ。
Saburi Works is a father-and-son company built around complementary sides of the same problem: understanding the market, understanding the work, and understanding the people. The family connection is not decoration. It is the reason the bridge is real.
The crest is the Saburi butterfly, traced from the one on the family grave in Japan. A kamon is carried down through a family and put on the things it stands behind. That is why the company carries the family name rather than an invented one.
The crest is used here as a working mark of continuity between family, place, and the company being built across the Pacific.
