About us
Utilizing the power of microorganisms
to generate new value from the natural world.
This is the core of our research and work.
Yaegaki Biotechnology is a special company even within Japan,
uniquely undertaking research and development specialized in fermentation.
Handling of microorganisms such as koji mould is incredibly
difficult and requires abundant knowledge and experience.
We consider our fermentation techniques developed over many
years to be one of our assets, and have a wide knowledge
base about a varied range of microorganisms.
Based in an environment that allows safe handling and
management of microorganisms, we strive to conduct useful and
practical research.
Due to our expertise from half a century of research into the
ecologies of various microorganisms and their interactions with
the human body, we are able to take on challenges that other
companies cannot, such as combining and utilizing features of
different microorganisms.
Armed with this expertise, we will push forward
to create world-leading fermentation technologies.
As a research-oriented company,
we generate innovation.
Through our research and development, Yaegaki Biotechnology has contributed to people and society for almost half a century.
Many of our employees participate in research, and our experts in fields including fermentation, pharmacology and agriculture combine together their wide-ranging knowledge and experience.
In pursuit of revolutionary results, we will continue to seek out new possibilities yet to be discovered within microorganisms.
