The 32-year-old lost out on a Scuderia Toro Rosso drive to Sebastien Bourdais this season and is now looking to a potential IndyCar deal which would include his home race at Motegi in September.
Sato was in Japan last week to film a television ad, and his commercial manager Matthew Winter attended a press event to launch the Motegi race and admitted that "we need Honda's help - that's what I'm here to ask for."
"It's a long way from happening yet," Winter told AUTOSPORT. "But if Taku could do Motegi that would be great. If he could do more IndyCar races that would be even better.
"He still wants to get back into F1 for 2010 and that means he wants to keep his hand in by racing this year."
