About:
Nakamoto Forestry is the largest producer of yakisugi in the world and has now expanded distribution to North America with inventory in Portland, Oregon. Our four mills in Hiroshima and Tokushima operate custom automated lines to produce high-grade and affordable product. In Japan, we have owned and managed large tracts of forest for decades, using the logs our harvest teams bring in to mill the most consistent yakisugi available anywhere. We would like the international community to appreciate that Japan has always had a large domestic forestry industry, one that has ingrained respect for the forest fiber with which we shelter ourselves.
Footage is from our mill in Hiroshima, Japan and our production facility in Portland, Oregon, USA.
