Our Service
Since our establishment in 1690, Yamamotoyama’s journey has been guided by our founding principle: "Delivering exceptional tea to all." Yet, our true dedication lies far beyond simply delivering products. The fragrant aroma of brewing tea, the crisp snap of exceptional nori, and the deep serenity that blossoms from these sensations. To seamlessly weave these "moments that move the soul" into the diverse lifestyles of the modern era, we operate through two core pillars: Retail and Dining.
Product Development & Retail
Premium teas meticulously selected from estates across the nation, alongside exquisite nori that preserves the profound culinary heritage of the Edo period. Harnessing the discerning eye and expertise cultivated over centuries, we design and offer products that gently enrich everyday life, ranging from elegant gifts to daily essentials. Through our two distinct brands—"Yamamotoyama," the guardian of tradition, and "YMY," a catalyst for sensory inspiration—we propose new expressions of tea and nori tailored to the modern era, delivering "moments of pure bliss" to dining tables across the globe.
- Forging the Depths.
- Peace of mind, steadfast trust, and exceptional quality cultivated over three centuries of history. These values represent the expectations of our customers, our own uncompromising standards, and the very foundation of the "moments that move the soul." We do not merely protect these values. By continuously refining them for the modern era, we endlessly explore the profound depths of "authentic flavor." Venturing beyond the history of tea, the heritage of Japanese culture, and the surprise of exceptional taste. All to craft an experience that draws you deeper with every single taste. Therefore, we must continually ask ourselves: Does this transcend and redefine our own standards? Does this invite a deeper experience of Yamamotoyama’s profound essence? Moments that move the soul. Forging their absolute depths. This is the enduring mission of Yamamotoyama.

- Opening the Gateway.
- Built upon the foundation of the "authentic flavor" cultivated by Yamamotoyama, we are opening up the possibilities of tea with greater freedom and a lighter touch. By gently unraveling the conventional image of tea and weaving it anew, we create fresh connections between tea and our customers' daily lives. Our aim is not to make tea an exclusive luxury, but rather to create yet another catalyst for moments that move the soul. Therefore, when in doubt, we ask ourselves: Does this craft a "new expression" of tea, beginning with Gyokuro? Does this spark an encounter with a "way of savoring" yet to be discovered? Moments that move the soul. Opening their gateway. This is the defining purpose of YMY.
