Story of Yamamoto Foods

In 1975, the current president introduced the industry's first "Behind-the-scenes sales method," allowing customers to purchase souvenirs while observing the production process of Wasabi pickles.

This was done so that customers from all over Japan who visit Izu, Shizuoka prefecture for sightseeing would be able to purchase the products after being assured and convinced of the quality.

Since around the Heisei era, they have changed their approach from "A passive business waiting for customers" to "A business that encourages customers to try wasabi by proposing new ways to eat it as a professional wasabi producer".
They have expanded their lineup of wasabi-related products beyond pickled wasabi, and have begun to market them nationwide under the name "Wasabi Made by a Wasabi Professional".
Today, they find it interesting and challenging to propose new ways to eat wasabi while preserving our more than 100 years of history and tradition.
