Yamahira's thoughts and challenges to weave the treasures of the Ariake Sea into the future.

Yamahira Co., Ltd. is committed to passing down the precious marine life of the Ariake Sea to the present day and ensuring it is preserved for future generations through its seafood business.

Since its founding, the company has faithfully inherited these values and adapted its business to changing times, becoming one of our strengths. For the region where we were born and raised, and to share its appeal with many visitors, including international tourists, we will continue to move forward steadily.

The feelings we want to cherish remain unchanged, quietly, always, just as they are.

We will continue to cherish what can only be done in this region, and what only Yamahira can do. With unwavering feelings, we will contribute to the community, while feeling the warmth of the local people every day, and working together to bring the excitement of the Ariake Sea.
