In 1958, Yukio Yamai founded Snow Peak in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. Yukio was an accomplished mountaineer and was dissatisfied with the products available, so he designed his own line of high-quality gear. His innovative and pioneering spirit continues to guide our vision.
Today, Snow Peak is still led by the Yamai family – Yukio's son Tohru is the CEO of Snow Peak USA and Chairman of the Board. Snow Peak provides a wide range of high-quality outdoor gear and apparel to discerning consumers worldwide. Each product we produce is thoughtfully designed and rigorously tested to ensure beauty, function and durability. Each item is investment-grade equipment that powers restorative experiences in nature.
Snow Peak USA is at an exciting stage in company history, coupling significant investment with an ambitious growth strategy for the North American market. In 2020, we opened our new USA headquarters in Portland, Oregon – encompassing a flagship retail store, event space, restaurant and corporate headquarters. We also operate a retail store in the vibrant Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Snow Peak’s future is bright with bold and cutting-edge plans for years ahead.
Takibi is Snow Peak’s first restaurant in the United States and brings our communal spirit to life, giving friends a place to reconnect and appreciate the rhythms of nature. The restaurant and bar are inspired by Japan, the changing seasons, and the bonds built while gathering by the bonfire.
The Takibi kitchen, which serves a Japanese-inspired cuisine by way of the Pacific Northwest, centers around the cooking of local ingredients on a wood-burning hearth. Our goal is to deliver an expanded menu of unique offerings — from Japanese staples to ramen — while inspiring memorable, connective experiences for our guests centered around fire and Snow Peak’s outdoor values.
Takibi is located in the heart of Portland’s vibrant NW 23rd district and is connected to our Flagship store. We're seeking Snow Peak people passionate about hospitality to join our team and be an integral part of Takibi's continued growth.
