Yamasa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yamasa Corporation (ăƒ€ăƒžă‚”é†€æČčæ ȘćŒäŒšç€Ÿ Yamasa Shƍyu Kabushikigaisha) is a Japanese corporation founded in 1645 whose primary field of business is the manufacturing of soy sauce and various seasonings. It was incorporated in November 1928.[1] With its head office located in Choshi, Chiba, it runs two factories in Chiba (located in Choshi and Narita), and a third located in Salem, Oregon, United States,[2] where subsidiary Yamasa Corporation USA is headed.

The corporate logo, a ∧ with a ă‚” under it, is a notable example of a Japanese rebus monogram. This is read as Yama, for yama (ć±±; mountain) (symbolized by the ∧) + sa (ă‚”; katakana character for sa).
