Description Yamazaki Baking doesn't care which side bread is buttered on, just as long as it's Yamazaki's bread that's buttered. The company is one of Japan's largest bakeries, producing bread and both Japanese- and Western-style baked goods such as pastries, sweet buns, cakes, and donuts for its retail customers. Its Vie de France subsidiary produces frozen dough for foodservice customers. In addition to baked goods and confections, the company offers jams, jellies and spreads, as well as prepared box lunches, sandwiches, and side dishes. Yamazaki also operates retail bakeshops and convenience and grocery stores.
