I don't know exactly what the Japanese do. I tried reaching out to one producer for information to use on our site, but to no avail. I believe it would be a special polishing agent or system. We achieved similar results with Cortez Mabe when we used aggressive polishing, but the exterior looked...

I agree with @Lagoon Island Pearls The evidence presented is mainly wishful thinking. Having the pearls examined by a lab is the only solution.

OMG! This is absolutely STUNNING Jeg!

Drill holes and other nacre imperfections tell me these are actual cultured pearls. They do look like Akoya.

I used to see Jhonny Lu (LuPearl/LuCoral) as a good source. I haven't been in touch with this company in decades, but they hade every kind of shell, shape, sizes... I believe this is their site: https://www.luperla.com/
