Youki

Youki is a Japanese seasoning company known for introducing global flavors to everyday cooking. While it offers Japanese condiments such as matcha salt, yuzu kosho, and nerigoma, Youki’s core strength lies in marketing seasonings from China, Korea, ASEAN countries, and Western cuisines.

The brand has played a key role in establishing ethnic and international seasonings in Japan. Its lineup includes popular Chinese ingredients like doubanjiang, garlic paste, oyster sauce, and umami granules, along with Western seasonings through a long-standing partnership with McCormick.

Youki views seasonings as supporting actors that enhance dishes rather than overpower them. For this reason, the company emphasizes quality ingredients and minimizes preservatives and chemical seasonings to protect natural flavors and ensure safety.
