The YAMASAN Story.

"Creating a fulfilled lifestyle through the tradition of delicious food"

Founded in 1995, Yamasan began as a door-to-door sales company,  delivering carefully crafted healthy products like  miso, soy sauce, and tea directly to each household.
Since 2014, we have expanded beyond Japan  to bring our commitment to quality to over 60 countries around the world.
By selling and delivering Japanese food to people overseas, I hope to give back to the farmers and producers who make it.

Teppei Ohata　President & CEO, Yamasan Co., Ltd.

"Through rich and wholesome food, we aim to promote both physical and mental well-being."

At Yamasan, our name reflects the spirit of Sanpō Yoshi — the idea that business should be good for the seller, the buyer, and society.
Guided by this principle, we aim to create lasting value for producers, customers, and our employees.

Sanpō Yoshi=Good for all three parties.

Dedication to Farmers and Workers

These are the farmers and workers who support Japan's food culture by sticking to  traditional manufacturing methods.
Our mission is to convey their efforts to the world  and ensure that these precious products and culture are not lost.
