Founded
on March 9, 1948, by Tojuro Iijima, Yamazaki Baking Co., Ltd., began
as a provider of reasonably priced, fresh, high-quality baked goods
in the post- World War II era, when most of Japan
was still experiencing severe food shortages. Yamazaki Baking modernized
through aggressive technological advances and the installation of state-of-the-art
equipment and systems from Europe and North America. At the same time, the company
expanded its offerings, introducing breads and other products from around the
world into the Japanese market and contributing to the enhancement of Japanese
lifestyles and dietary culture.
For over sixty years since its founding, Yamazaki Baking has significantly broadened its operations. Today, the company's lineup centers bread, sweet
buns, Japanese-style confectionery, Western-style confectionery,
processed bread and prepared rice and side dishes, as well as jam,
desserts and prepared foods in retort pouches. Companies in
the Yamazaki Baking Group manufacture a wide variety of products,
including biscuits, crackers and sembei (rice crackers).
These products are sold nationwide through supermarkets, convenience
stores and other sales channels. Yamazaki Baking has also developed
its own licensed stores — convenience stores and bakeshops,
the latter of which sell products made both on- and off-site —
enabling it to respond to increasingly diverse consumer
needs and changing market conditions.
