Our Story

It started with
boots off on tatami.

Midway through a powder day at Kagura, I ducked into Wadagoya -- a small lodge at the midstation. Boots off in a tatami room, a steaming bowl of udon noodle soup and a cold Sapporo. In that moment, everything made sense. The food wasn't just fuel. It was Recovery. Ritual. Reconnection.

That feeling stayed with me. Years later, when my appendix burst and I was rebuilding my gut from scratch, bone broth became the only thing that healed me. I started reading, studying, going deeper into the Traditional Chinese Medicine food traditions I'd grown up around. I realized that what I'd felt in that tatami room and what I'd experienced through recovery were the same thing: food as medicine, prepared with intention.

What if that feeling could travel with you? What if it could fit in your jacket pocket and be ready in 30 seconds?

That's Yama. Named for "mountain" in Japanese. Four functional broths built on bone broth, TCM botanicals, and a whole-food mushroom umami system. Ridiculously good first. Better for you, always. Made to move with you.

The Format

Philosophy

Rooted in Traditional
Chinese Medicine.

Every Yama broth is built around the five-element framework of TCM -- where food is medicine, timing matters, and every ingredient carries intention. Each broth aligns with a specific element to support your body's natural rhythm throughout the day.

Every Yama broth is calibrated to a specific time of day, a specific functional intention, and a specific meridian moment. This is not bone broth. This is a system.
