I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Nippon Shokken (Englewood Cliffs, NJ) in Nov 2016
Interview
Relaxed. The manager I interviewed with gave a very clear explanation of what he was looking for and what a prospective hire could expect from the company. Emphasis was placed on the value of having experience with Japanese office culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about familiarity with Japanese office culture.
Only one interview with the CEO or manager. They ask very basic and straight forward interview questions and if you don’t mind driving. Not too many complicated behavioral questions. Interview length is relatively short as well. Offer decision took about a week

Question 1
Do you like Japanese food? Why do you want to work here?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nippon Shokken (Boston, MA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Short and casual interview. Interviewed with them at a career fair and the interview was conducted in Japanese although they don't seem to require Japanese skills above conversational. There were two interviewees but only one of them asked questions. None of the questions they asked were difficult
