Over the years, Yamato Kouso has won the support of many users. Besides enzyme original liquid products, Yamato Kouso also manufactures lactic acid bacteria, enzyme preparation, enzyme cosmetics, enzyme bath agents, etc., in addition to more than 150 other related products. In Japan, there are over 2,000 pharmacies, beauty salons, and department stores selling these products. As for the sales network in other countries, Taiwan is the first to market product series, while a large volume has already been exported to China, Singapore, U.S., Europe, and Korea. Continued research and development of enzyme products is the Company’s greatest aspiration. Yamato Kouso will continue to be dedicated toward improving the health of mankind.
Yamato Enzyme has come firmly adhered to the traditional making.
After the complete process of thorough fermentation of some 70 raw materials, essence is extracted as the legendary technology suggests. Thanks to the lengthy experience, appropriate environment and timing, ancient cypress barrels are used for fermentation based on aspergillus, lactobacillus and yeast; we have been carefully operating the process before obtaining the enriched and optimal yeasts and other helpful elements. After successful fermentation, aging in low temperature in the low-temperature barrel at 5 meters underground follows for between 2 months and 1 year.
The preservative-and-quality-stabilizer-free making that, despite of lower productivity, the new system assures no harm to key nutrients that would jeopardize microbes from normal operations and, eventually reduce efficiency of enzyme, reason why Yamato Enzyme has come using its unique technology for the sake of quality assurance to its users.
Do you see the Yamato Enzyme’s corporate logo?
Mr. Yamato Kunio, founder of Yamato Enzyme, had Yamato Kouso Popular Community established in 1946 with the purpose of improving the health of the Japanese population. To make the business sustainable, the corporate logo consisting of 6 calabashes－ 6 ladles, for its similar pronunciation to illness-free in Japanese. Each ladle representing one of the 5 organs – heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys as well as the body stands for the role of guarding the health of each and every user of Yamato Enzyme. After 6 decades, the corporate logo remains faithfully exhibiting the ongoing endeavor of the business, which is committed to delivering premium products to all Yamato Enzyme users.
In light of peoples’ growing awareness toward physical health, the “Chin-Yeh Group” established the “Yamato Enzyme Co., Ltd.” in Taiwan during April 1991, as an agent to market Yamato Kouso product series within the Asia Pacific region: “Yamato Kouso Co., Ltd.” enzyme product series include: “Enzyme Original Liquid Product Series,” “Enzyme Powder Product Series,” “Enzyme Shower Cleaning Supplies,” “Enzyme Beauty Maintenance Supplies,” etc. Yamato Enzyme Co., Ltd. believes in the concept of “sustainable operations,” with “market oriented,” “service marketing” and “corporate style” as its fundamental rules of doing business. The Company views “corporate responsibility” as well as “social duties” as the Company’s obligations. We hope that by bringing in Yamato Kouso product series and marketing it through sales channels such as islandwide Cosmeds and major chain drugstores, local pharmacies and drugstores located within department stores, organic specialty stores, beauty salons, and clinics, we can help raise people’s awareness towards correct health concepts and product usage.
