Yoseigo was founded in 1946 in Yokohama Chinatown by the parents of the current chairman. The founder's mother, known as 'Ama', was a skilled cook who could prepare delicious dishes with a single knife. The business began when she displayed her homemade items at the storefront. Initially, Yoseigo served as a wholesaler supporting the kitchens of Chinese restaurants in the area. As Yokohama Chinatown grew in popularity, the company also became a popular retail store attracting chefs, cooking researchers, and tourists from all over Japan seeking Chinese ingredients. The company was incorporated on May 11, 1974. Over its more than 75-year history, Yoseigo has contributed to Yokohama Chinatown as a behind-the-scenes supporter, providing high-quality ingredients that rival those used in authentic Chinese cuisine. Today, it continues to operate a retail store and an online store, offering original products and a wide range of Chinese food items.
