Your silent partner in
famous food
Yama is the supplier of the fifth flavour: umami. This is the flavour that goes beyond the four basic flavours. Umami adds depth and complexity without being overpowering. Yama is your silent partner in flavour and knowledge. We help you with the perfect ingredients and the right advice, so your brands and products can shine.
Caring about people and the environment
Yama thinks and operates with respect for tradition and appreciation for optimal ingredients. For example, quality and flavour always come before costs. Tasty food is not necessarily unhealthy and healthy food doesn't have to taste bad. A good taste and nutritious ingredients contribute to our physical and mental wellbeing. With the right additives, we can keep food stable and safe to eat for longer. That, in turn, hopefully has a positive impact on food waste.
Umami from the sea
As a producer and supplier, Yama brings savoury flavours and ingredients to the food industry. From (soy) sauces and spices to compounds and natural aromas. Our international network of chefs and developers in the food service and retail sectors helps us keep our ear to the ground. With respect for tradition and a focus on innovation, Yama is ready to help you overcome challenges in flavour, nutritional values and health.
Sustainable relationships
As an importer of Japanese products, we can rely on our years of experience and in-depth knowledge of flavour. We make sure to know exactly what innovations, techniques and products pair well with Japanese tradition. By constantly putting ourselves in our customers’ position, we can offer added value to our partners. We offer tailor-made solutions and advice at every level. This helps us build relationships based on mutual appreciation and trust.
