Yamamotoyama

Yamamotoyama is a historic family-owned tea and seaweed company established in 1690 when the Yamamoto family moved from Kyoto to Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and opened a tea shop. As the oldest tea company in Japan, Yamamotoyama remains family-owned and operated for over 330 years, drawing from its rich heritage and vast expertise to provide healthy and innovative foods. The company operates from the same location in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, serving the finest teas and seaweed-inspired cuisine. Yamamotoyama specializes in premium green teas including Sencha, Hojicha, Gyokuro, Matcha varieties, Oolong, Genmaicha, and Jasmine teas, available in both organic and conventional options as tea bags and loose leaf. The company also produces high-quality nori seaweed products including sushi wrappers, specialty seaweed for cooking, and convenient snack seaweed products. Their product portfolio serves the consumer packaged goods industry with focus on healthy, authentic Japanese tea and seaweed products. Yamamotoyama grows teas on family-owned tea farms and maintains strict quality standards across all product lines. The company has expanded globally while preserving traditional Japanese tea-making techniques and seaweed processing methods, making them a trusted supplier for both retail and foodservice sectors seeking authentic Japanese ingredients and beverages.
