Yamato Nori” was first sold in Japan in 1899 in bottles as a revolutionary ”paste that can be preserved. At the time, the paste was made from boiled rice starch, which spoiled quickly, so it was necessary to make or buy the paste each time it was used. In 1923, we registered “Yamato Nori” as a trademark and further expanded our sales channels.

Yamato Liquid Glue Lineup
Yamato Liquid Glue Limited Edition Special Color Variation
The liquid glue “Arabic Yamato” was launched in 1975. The style of orange cap and amber glue has remained unchanged since its launch. The unique “special sponge cap” allows for an even and smooth application, and the glue dries quickly and has excellent adhesive strength. Those features have not changed since then.
At first, this “Arabic Yamato” did not sell well because the price was higher than that of ordinary “glue” at the time. However, after distributing samples mainly to corporations and government offices, the product’s value was recognized and it quickly gained nationwide recognition. In 2009, the product received the “2009 Good Design Long Life Design Award.
