- From Hakata to the rest
of the world -
Yamaya has been
transforming mealtimes
for over 45 years

Yamaya was founded in 1974 by a husband and wife with this thought: "Let's make delicious, spicy mentaiko(pollock roe) that is not just spicy."
They pursued their ideal flavor by trial and error in their home kitchen. This is how the history of Yamaya began.
Since then, only ingredients with superior taste, quality and safety have been used to create Yamaya's uncompromising flavor.
Our motivation comes from the joy of hearing our customers say, "This is delicious."
We will continue to provide our delicious spicy mentaiko from Hakata to Japan and the rest of the world.

FINEST INGREDIENTS

The mainstays of our popular flavors are four standard ingredients of Japanese food.
This idea is what made us travel across Japan in search of ingredients, and eventually we found the best ingredients: "sake" from Kitaya, Fukuoka, "kelp" from Rausu, Hokkaido, "yuzu" from Kyushu, and our own special blend of "chili peppers." By selecting only the best ingredients, we created a special pickling sauce we call "artisan sauce" without using a drop of water.
Our attention to quality of the ingredients is what creates our delicious, spicy mentaiko.

From our experience in making mentaiko, in which we gained much experience in picking out the best ingredients, we created the Japanese soup stock "Umadashi," which became an instant hit.
With the soup stock using flying fish, which is traditionally used in zoni (a New Year's dish with rice cakes boiled with vegetables) and commonly eaten around Hakata, we had no idea how it would eventually be eaten throughout Japan.
We wanted more people to enjoy the popular Motsunabe (Offal Hot Pot) of Hakata, so we produced "Hakata Motsunabe (Offal Hot Pot), Yamaya" for Japan as well as South Korea and the United States to bring the flavors of Hakata to the world.
