PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We value the spirit of harmony and create a future for people
with pride as a leading company.

Thank you for visiting Aiya Co., Ltd.'s recruitment information page. Aiya celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2018, and its corporate mission (corporate motto) is “to respect the spirit of harmony and create a future for people with pride as a leading company”, and to promote ancient Japanese culture through matcha. We conduct our daily business to convey this message and contribute to the health of everyone.

Currently, we have five companies not only in Japan but also overseas, and we are developing the matcha market as a health food, becoming the first in the matcha industry to obtain organic cultivation certification, and using state-of-the-art matcha production equipment. We are pursuing a wide range of possibilities for matcha by introducing “Saijoen”, a matcha sweets brand, and establishing an advanced quality control system.

Aiya is a company that respects history and tradition, but we are looking for young people who love matcha, have new and flexible ideas without being bound by fixed ideas, and can continue to take on challenges. We are looking for human resources who can accurately adapt to the trends of the times and market while valuing their own “axis” of tradition, which the Japanese have had since ancient times.

The average age of our employees is young, in their mid-30s, and our employees, both new graduates and mid-career employees, come from a variety of backgrounds, think and act independently, and take pride in their work every day.

Aiya Co., Ltd. is Japan's number one matcha maker that competes with the world. I look forward to the day when I can meet new colleagues with an insatiable spirit of challenge.

Aiya Co., Ltd.
Representative Director and President Takeo Sugita

Opening a store specializing in matcha sweets under the name “Saijoen Matcha Cafe”

We have opened matcha sweets cafes in Nagoya and Toyokawa, including the Nishio main store. You can enjoy a variety of products using Aiya's matcha.
