Excited to partner once again with CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment) to celebrate AAPHNI Heritage Month alongside Pasifika Entertainment Advancement Komiti (PEAK) 🌺✨ At Yama Sushi Marketplace, food has always been a way to bring people together — and this celebration did exactly that. From culture and community to storytelling and representation, it was inspiring to be surrounded by organizations and creatives dedicated to uplifting AAPHNI and Pasifika voices across entertainment, business, and beyond. We’re grateful to CAPE and PEAK for continuing to create spaces where our communities can connect, be celebrated, and be seen authentically. Events like these are such an important reminder that representation isn’t just about visibility — it’s about building real opportunities and lasting impact for future generations. Proud to celebrate culture and community together ❤️ #AAPHNIHeritageMonth #CAPE #PEAK #YamaSushiMarketplace #Community #RepresentationMatters

Big moment for us this May — we made it onto KTLA News 🎥✨ As part of AAPHNI Heritage Month, we launched our “Taste of Yama” campaign to celebrate and uplift the AAPHNI community by spotlighting incredible Asian-owned businesses such as Salo (Julia Catolico) and Omiso (Ai Fujimoto) sampling products from across the Asian diaspora. From bold flavors to inspiring founders, every product told a story rooted in culture, identity, and community. Getting the opportunity to share this campaign on KTLA with Lauren Lyster was not only exciting, but deeply meaningful. Representation matters, and being able to amplify Asian voices, businesses, and creativity on such a visible platform reminded us why we do what we do. Proud to celebrate our community. Proud to support Asian-owned brands. And even prouder to see these stories take center stage. ❤️ Honorable mention to Havas + Alysa Rodriguez for supporting our "Taste of Yama" initiative! #aaphni #yamasushimarketplace #ktlanews

Yama brought the flavor to the desert 🌴✨ During Coachella 2026 Weekend 1, we popped up at the Gushcloud International & Clique-Now creator networking event hosted by TikTok Shop & MediCube to elevate the festival experience with refreshing drinks, great energy, and unforgettable vibes. Beyond the music and festivities, it was an incredible opportunity to connect with so many talented creators, influencers, and innovators shaping today’s social media landscape. We loved meeting passionate creatives, building new relationships, and sharing the Yama experience with such an inspiring community. Nothing beats good music, amazing people, meaningful connections, and even better taste 🎶🥤

Yama Sushi Marketplace was honored to serve and participate in an incredible networking mixer bringing together Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios Studios Creative Executives, LAAPFF (Visual Communications) filmmakers, and CAPE USA alumni across writing, directing, producing, and leadership. With an amazing turnout of creative professionals and storytellers in one room, the evening was filled with meaningful conversations, community, collaboration — and of course, plenty of sushi. 🍣✨ We’re always grateful for opportunities to support spaces that celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander voices in entertainment and bring together such inspiring talent. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made the night so memorable! #YamaSushi #CAPE #LAAPFF #AmazonMGMStudios #AsianCreatives #NetworkingMixer #Community #EntertainmentIndustry Travis Mathers Remi Kohno

Ever wondered where sushi-grade fish comes from before it reaches your plate? 🍣 Our team at Yama Sushi Marketplace went behind the scenes at Pacific Fresh Fish to see how premium seafood is sourced, handled, and prepared before reaching top sushi destinations. From expert processing to advanced filleting technology, this tour showed the precision and care behind true freshness. Watch until the end to see how quality and expertise come together at every step. https://lnkd.in/g6qvXxKQ

Celebrating LA’s vibrant dining culture! There’s something special when neighborhoods come together. ✨ This week, our team at Yama Sushi Marketplace kicked off our “From Our Block to Your Bowl” collaboration series with Guelaguetza — an iconic, James Beard Award–winning Oaxacan institution led by Bricia Lopez and Paulina Lopez-Velazquez. Together, we brought a bold, unexpected fusion to life: Yama's chicken katsu with Guelaguetza's rich Oaxacan mole rojo, all in one bowl for $8.95. Huge thank you to Bricia and Paulina for trusting us and collaborating with us on this. More to come. ✨ YouTube Video: https://lnkd.in/g6u4J5mP

Yama was thrilled to partner once again with the Google Product Sales & Activation team to host a fun and flavorful luncheon experience 🍱✨ With our curated custom Google bento boxes, the afternoon was all about connection, culture, and good food shared together. We were especially excited to collaborate with Stephenie Yuan, who helped bring this experience to life for her team. Together, we hosted an interactive class that went beyond lunch by diving into Japanese culture, the artistry behind sushi, and the intentional pairing of flavors and palate balance. From understanding how ingredients complement one another to appreciating the tradition and storytelling behind each bite, the team got a hands-on (and delicious!) learning experience. Thank you to the Google team for continuing to invite Yama into these moments, and to Stephenie Yuan for creating space for her team to learn, taste, and celebrate Japanese cuisine in such a fun and meaningful way. We can’t wait to do it again! 🍣💛 #catering #yamasushimarketplace #google #googleproductsalesactivation #ejlentertainment #partnership #collaboration
