Our commitment and policy since the establishment of the company

We are a traditional soy sauce and miso producer in Kanazawa.




ISO9001

 

 

Our first president, Tomatsu Yamamoto in 1911 in the present company location, founded Yamato Soy Sauce & Miso Co., Ltd. In the old days, our second president transported soy sauce, miso and daily necessities to Hokkaido (northern part of Japan) from Kanazawa by ship, which then carried back soybeans, wheat, marine foods and timber. We use good quality soy beans harvested in Hokkaido since our foundation, which is thanks to the second president’s business activity. We are faithfully working for producing rich and full flavored products blessed with the location, infiltration water of Mt. Haku-san (the highest mountain in the area) and wet climate suitable to brewing.

We have been making effort to improving our quality for a long time and we received ISO 9002 certification in 2000 (the registration was transferred to ISO 9001:2000 in 2003). We also accredited as a organic JAS food manufacturer in 2001. We always respond customers' requirements expecting safe and tasty products.

Because of our dedication to the above quality control, we got customers not only in Japan but also overseas and exporting our miso and soy sauce to department stores and famous restaurants in the U.S. and Europe (We have customers in the U.S, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.). With our eyes on that producing excellent products makes us tough competitors internationally, we commit to produce high quality fermented foods that are fruits of wisdom of ancient Japanese people.
