Hello. I'm Mr. Yawata, Representative Director of Yawata Corporation.
Thank you for visiting our website from among the many other supplement distributors.
Our company is located in Tottori Prefecture, which has the smallest population in Japan but has an abundance of nature.
We are pleased to live in such a nature-rich environment. Our ancestors led healthy lives in this nature-rich location. Today, we continue to make a living here, while also learning about our health.
We believe in nutritional science, but we also think that the source of our health exists in nature.
Our goal is to deliver this health to our valuable customers and to support your healthy lives.
We would like to nurture buds of health for the future. We would like to share the blessings of nature with our customers.
This is the simple wish from us raised in Tottori Prefecture.

We are particular about the ingredients we use, and we only choose those which we are satisfied with. The important thing is not just the origin of the ingredients but what kind of nutrients those ingredients have and how safe and secure they are.

Our staff travels all over Japan and the world. If we find ingredients we want to use for our products in foreign countries, our staff frequently visits those actual places. We have numerous face-to-face discussions with the producers until we reach an agreement on all aspects. We confirm production and safety measures before finally signing a contract. Yawata delivers the precious blessings of nature to customers with the best intentions.

Fish Gelatin 　Pioneer in the supplement industry Yawata has been using soft capsules made from fish gelatin since 2002. Generally, ingredients used to make capsules are derived from land animal products. However, capsules from fish gelatin can be more readily digested and are easier to swallow. We switched to fish gelatin capsules relatively early in this industry. Since they are from fish, they are safe to consume. Glycerin It is extracted from vegetable oil. It is also produced in the human body. It provides flexibility to gelatin capsules and protects them from damage. Soybean Oil (Safflower Oil) Capsules are water-soluble and are emulsified in the production process. During emulsification, a small amount of oil is used. Yawata uses soybean oil or safflower oil, which are safe to be consumed. Beeswax Beeswax is used to stabilize the emulsion. We choose beeswax instead of chemical ingredients. It is similar candle wax (in the case of capsules).

We sell and deliver our products by mail order. We don't have many opportunities to actually meet our customers in person, but we try to put a face to each customer and to handle each case sincerely.
We hope that "our thoughts will reach customers through our words", and try to deliver not only the products you order but also peace of mind and satisfaction.
A healthy body cannot be achieved alone, just as flowers bloom with the support of soil, water and the sun.
Through our meeting, we hope that Yawata can help your health bloom like a flower.

ISO 22000 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization dealing with food safety management systems.
　Yawata wanted increased production safety and security within the company and also with our suppliers in order to deliver safe products from the producers of ingredients to customers. We aimed to acquire "ISO22000" and succeeded on January 25th, 2010.It was relatively early among the maker and distributor of supplements.
　In order to issue ISO22000, a "surveillance" audit is conducted by the certifying body once a year and a renewal audit is done every 3 years by a third party organization. If a non-conformance is found in these audits, a corrective action has to be undertaken within a prescribed period of time, otherwise the certification is revoked. We work sincerely out of a sheer desire to deliver safe and secure products to customers.
　※The message above is limited to health food products.

GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice. 　There are detailed guidelines for this certification system. The purpose of this certification is to ensure safety and quality of products through proper quality and production control, and construction of plant facilities, in all steps from receiving ingredients to final shipping. The guideline principles are strictly applied even when some parts of the process are commissioned to other companies. 　Yawata's packaging plant in Nihongi, Yonago has been certified as a GMP plant by the Japan Health and Nutrition Food Association. As of October 30th 2008, there are only 45 GMP qualified plants in Japan, including Yawata.

The products we deliver to our customers are carefully stored in our company. We establish a system that can respond accurately to customers' enquiries by keeping a sample of the products and ingredients used in the production process in the same period of time. We manage all processes, including; how a product is ordered, packaged, and delivered. We ensure traceability from our company to delivery to the customer. 　We have 5 strict guidelines for action (Quality Policy) for quality improvement of products and customer service. Yawata, and every company connected to our business, follows these guidelines. 　We set high goals based on these guidelines and we try to improve rules and activities based on what we feel during working hours or customers' feedback.
