Message From The President

  Yamato Soysauce & Miso Co.,Ltd.
  President Seiichi Yamamoto
  

  Ever since the first day of our tiny family-owned business in 1911, we have stubbornly adhered to the century-old natural fermentation formula for our own traditional Japanese soy sauce and miso. As a result, we are very proud of the unique quality of our sauce products which remain and will continue to remain intact.
  
  Our products are truly pure and natural - no additives, no preservatives, no artificial flavors and no artificial colors whatsoever. Here is why–Kanazawa, our home town, is very famous in Japan for its resourceful gifts of nature, namely a variety of abundant seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, fish, herbs and many more. No wonder why this centuries old City of Kanazawa is one of the best known cities for genuine traditional Japanese cooking.
  Blessed with such surroundings, we have been working very hard around the clock to cope with the ever-increasing customer demand,at home and abroad, for healthier sauce products, yet without any sacrifice of quality.
  In recent years we have put forth many efforts to find ways to enhance the awareness of these wonderful Kanazawa seasonings - pure, innocent, aromatic, flavorful, low in fat and mystic - for consumers in this global era who are looking for the real taste of Japanese cuisine.
  
  Some of the results of recent are Shio–koji, a form of salty, malted rice which replaces traditional salt and gives many dishes a wonderful, well rounded taste.  This product is not only tasty, but has many health benefits as well.  The live enzymes tenderize meat or fish and they also help with digestion. 
  Our non-alcohol Amazake is as popular as ever.  Enjoy the organic white rice or brown rice versions or the non-organic brown rice version.  A sweet drink made from rice, it is sure to fill you up and give you energy.  Drink it in summer to beat the heat or warm it up in winter with a touch of cinnamon, chocolate or ginger for a sweet treat. 
  Our ever popular Ginger Vinegar& Wasabi Oil together with our traditional Yamato sauces, are still gaining popularity from many professional chefs of Japanese cuisine as well as fusion chefs. At home chefs and many patrons alike can also enjoy these upscale products through one of our many distributors around the world (please contact us for more information).
  When traveling through Kanazawa, please take the time to stop by one of our shops (insert link to maps) or contact us for tours of our Miso factory.  We take pride in what we do and would love to share it with those who are interested in Japanese cuisine.  You can also enjoy our famous, mouth-watering "Soy-sauce Ice Cream"available at both locations (insert link to maps).
  
  Already in its 4th generation, we hope to win the heart and mind of each and every one of you with the finest, high-quality Yamato Soysauce products.  To this effort, we will assure our valued customers worldwide of our enduring commitments to healthier sauce making, notwithstanding any hardship in so doing.
  We look forward to your continuing patronage.
  Sincerely,
  

  Seiichi Yamamoto President& CEO Yamato Soysauce and Miso Company Limited Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture JAPAN http://www.yamato-soysauce-miso.co.jp
