We,Kamakurayama natto co., Ltd., have been making the tasty high quality natto as a natto store for more than 60 years in the ancient city of Kamakura.
However, you can buy many kinds of natto anywhere without our high quality natto.
We are needed in society by just only trust of our customers.
So we always have to think about the meaning of our work and identity.
We will try to be the special company with this philosophy.
We will always make known our identity to our customers, and will be the one and only natto company.
Major companies have much market share in the natto industry.
It is important for us, small company, to have this philosophy.
Nowadays the natto industry is getting strange.
They sell natto at extraordinary cheep price, don't care of quality.
It is so hard for us to sell our high quality natto at reasonable price in these circumstances.
However, we'll never give up.
Because we are proud to show how natto is tasty and Japanese traditional food is good for our health.
"Kamakurayama natto" has been our brand for several decades.
We have happy and tough memories with this brand.
We will continue to do all we can for our customers' satisfaction and trust.
