Introduction
Anniversary celebrations are special days for a company, such as the company's founding anniversary, listing on the stock market, changing its name, or expanding into Tokyo.
Milestone years such as the first, fifth, and tenth anniversaries are great opportunities to boost employee morale and express gratitude to our customers and business partners.
"I want to give them something memorable and wonderful."
"But we want to avoid anything too ordinary and not be rude."
Are you worried about something like that?
Choosing a gift for an anniversary party can be surprisingly difficult.
You need to choose something that suits the age group and tastes of your guests and the atmosphere of your party.
Furthermore, you need to find something that will clearly convey your gratitude while also respecting your company's image.
So, what I would like to recommend this time is Yamamotoyama, a long-established brand with a history of over 300 years.
Yamamotoyama's products are secretly popular as souvenirs and gifts for anniversary parties held by companies, restaurants, and other businesses, and are chosen by many companies.
In this article, we will explain in detail why Yamamotoyama products are perfect as souvenirs for anniversary parties and their appeal.
What is Yamamotoyama?
Some of you may be familiar with the company name "Yamamotoyama," while others may not.
Those over the age of mid-30s may fondly recall the old TV commercial that went, "Whether you read it from top to bottom or bottom to top, it's Yamamotoyama."
Yamamotoyama is a specialty store for seaweed and tea.
Founded in 1690, our company has continued its business for over 300 years with the mission of consistently delivering the highest quality tea and seaweed.
In recent years, Yamamotoyama has been known for its seaweed products, but it was originally a tea company.
Yamamotoyama was also the first to sell "regular sencha," the green tea we commonly drink today, in the early Edo period and popularized it throughout the world. Yamamotoyama has also been deeply involved in the history of Japanese tea, developing other varieties such as gyokuro.
After the war, the company began dealing in seaweed, and now focuses on tea and seaweed, continuing its business in Nihonbashi, unchanged since its founding more than 300 years ago.
Why Yamamotoyama products are chosen as souvenirs for anniversary parties
1. Nori (seaweed) brings good luck
Nori was once called "Unkusa."
The reason is that the method of producing nori was only discovered in the 1950s. Prior to that, the ecology of nori was completely unknown, and harvest yields were unstable.
It was truly something that you could harvest if you were lucky.
For this reason, seaweed is considered a symbol of good luck and good fortune.
Even today, it is considered a very auspicious gift and is chosen as a gift for loved ones with the wish that "good fortune will come to you."
2. Auspicious fate woven over 300 years of history
The name "Yamamotoyama" is imbued with more than 300 years of history and tradition.
It seems that many people feel that the sound of this name brings about a sense of nostalgia as well as good luck.
Present a Yamamotoyama gift on special occasions such as founding and anniversary celebrations, and it also carries the meaning of bringing good luck, wishing eternal prosperity for yourself and the recipient.
3. Reliable quality
Every year, our company president personally visits seaweed farms, including Ariake, to purchase the highest quality seaweed harvested that year.
Its unique color is a beautiful, lustrous black-purple. The scent of the seaweed fills the air the moment you open the package. The mellow aroma and flavor spreads softly the moment you put it in your mouth. It has a crisp, crunchy texture.
It's a definite taste that tells you what the real thing is.
In addition, as the oldest sencha merchant in Japan, we continue to research the taste and aroma of sencha, inheriting the desire of our founder, Kahei Yamamoto, to "make delicious tea available to many people."
Both the seaweed and the tea are made using carefully selected ingredients and a unique manufacturing process, resulting in a high-quality taste that is unlike any other.
We can confidently recommend Yamamotoyama products, and we are sure that anyone will be pleased with them no matter who they are given as a gift.
4. Fun for the whole family
Nori seaweed and tea are common everyday foods in the home.
Another attractive feature is that it is low in sugar and calories, so anyone can take it home without worrying about their health or allergies.
"I used to eat it a lot."
Perhaps reminiscing about old memories will spark lively conversation among your family.
A small gift can spread smiles. Yamamotoyama can help you create such heartwarming moments.
5. Diverse lineup
Many people may have the image of these as "luxury gifts," but in fact we have a wide range of products that can be enjoyed starting from around 1,000 yen.
The wide variety of products available is also one of Yamamotoyama's attractions.
From a wide range of items, including seaweed, tea, and sweets, you can choose the perfect item based on the recipient's preferences and budget.
Additionally, for those looking for a special keepsake, we also offer gift sets and original packaging.
We will utilize the experience and knowledge we have cultivated over the years to propose memorable gifts that meet our customers' needs.
6. Free gift wrapping and gift tags
Yamamotoyama is also often requested to provide gifts, so we offer free gift wrapping and gift tags.
Our experienced staff will carefully pack your gift with care, respecting the feelings of both the giver and the recipient.
We have a wide variety of wrapping paper available for thank you gifts, celebrations, and many other occasions.
We can also accommodate requests for adding text such as "○th anniversary party" or "△△ commemorative ceremony."
Because it is a special gift, attention to detail is essential.

1. It's a conversation starter
"Oh, it's Yamamotoyama!" "That brings back memories!"
I can just picture a smile naturally breaking out on their face the moment they pick up a Yamamotoyama product, and a conversation like that starting up.
Whether you remember the phrase "Read it from top to bottom or bottom to top," or not, you'll surely feel nostalgic. I wonder what kind of conversations that commercial sparked in the living rooms of families.
"Isn't that Yamamotoyama?" "Do you remember the commercial?" We hope you will have a fun time reminiscing about old times like these.
Yamamotoyama is not just a gift, but a conversation starter and perhaps a communication tool that transcends generations.
2. Will your boss' evaluation of you improve?
The person in charge of gift selection is unlikely to make a decision on their own. They will probably make a list of several candidates and then consult with their superiors or decision makers.
At those times, they are often praised for some reason, with comments like, "Oh, Yamamotoyama!" or "You know a lot!"
You might even have a lively conversation with your boss by saying, "Do you know the saying that goes 'it doesn't matter whether you read it from top to bottom or bottom to top'?"
They might even ask, "Why did you choose this?"
In that case, rather than choosing something ordinary and saying, "It's been popular recently," or "It was really popular on Instagram," if you can properly explain the reasons mentioned above, it will convey your sincere attitude toward your work, regardless of whether Yamamotoyama's item is ultimately adopted or not.
Rather than choosing a cute sweet gift that will look great on social media, choose the mysterious gift "Yamamotoyama" that somehow gives the impression of good manners and dignity.
I hope that this article will be helpful to anyone who comes across it.
