About Yumi's Pantry

Welcome to Yumi's Pantry, where Japanese flavours and are made with love, the old-fashioned way. Founded by Yumi Nagaya, who hails from the picturesque mountain region of Nagano, Japan, brings her culture and heritage to your kitchen for you to try your way. Based in South Australia, Yumi is a proud local with a passion for making food a memorable and shared experience everyone can enjoy. Her love of fermentation began in her grandparents' kitchen, where the community would gather every winter to prepare enough miso to last the entire year. This love for authentic, homemade food has been passed down through generations and now inspires Yumi’s Pantry. Yumi's Pantry products are handcrafted using generations old fermentation methods. Where possible, Yumi only sources the best local ingredients as she is passionate about the quality of Australian produce.  From rich, probiotic-packed miso to our versatile shio koji and umami chilli, every item is made with care and a deep respect for quality. Yumi believes in the power of natural, wholesome foods to enhance both flavour and health. Yumi's Pantry products aim to bring a slice of Japan to your kitchen, making it accessible for you to enjoy locally. Yumi’s Pantry - where tradition and taste come together in harmony.
