Behind the Design

Yamato Nori is one of Japan's most recognizable stationery staples. The bottle's distinctive cap mechanism was designed to open and close cleanly with minimal effort, addressing the most common frustration with paste containers: dried-out glue around a lid that won't seal properly.

The 2020 Good Design Long Life Design Award is given to products that have remained in production and in everyday use for an extended period without needing significant redesign. That the Yamato Nori bottle received this designation speaks to how well the original concept has held up. The 70g size also won the 2017 TOPAWARD ASIA award, an Asia-Pacific packaging design recognition.

The paste itself uses tapioca starch as its base, which gives it a smooth, spreadable consistency suited to paper, cardboard, and similar materials. The included spatula allows for precise application without using fingers.

A tapioca starch paste in a bottle with a cap designed to open and close with one hand, keeping the paste from drying out between uses. The classic Yamato Nori bottle has been in production for decades and earned a Good Design Long Life Design Award in 2020, a recognition reserved for products that have proven their worth over time.
