Yamato
Yamato is a respected Japanese fermented food producer founded in 1911 in Ono-machi, Kanazawa, an area famous for soy sauce and miso brewing. The brand specializes in traditional fermentation while adapting its products to modern, health-focused lifestyles.
Yamato produces a wide range of fermented foods, including soy sauce, miso, amazake, dashi, dressings, ready-to-eat side dishes, sweets, and even cosmetics. All products are made with carefully selected ingredients and long-established brewing methods.
One of Yamato’s most distinctive products is its Hishio raw shoyu. Unlike heated soy sauce, it is unpasteurized, retaining living enzymes and a mellow yet deep aroma. Their genmai brown rice amazake offers natural sweetness and a creamy texture, making it ideal as both a drink and a natural sweetener.
Choose Yamato for clean, naturally fermented Japanese foods made without shortcuts. Enjoy living enzymes, gentle sweetness, and deep umami that support everyday cooking and healthier eating.
