[Yu] - hot water [Maki] - roll (n.), volume = [Yumaki] = Hot water roll The name comes from the first Yumaki prototype ever made. Warm and coming straight from the mold, transparent with the clean and straight (yet wavy) shape of the handle it resembled a small wavy volume of water. This model got the working title “Yu-maki� by the Japanese manufacturers which stayed during the whole development process and was later adopted to become the master brand it is today.
Yumaki was launched in 2009 and was quickly acknowledged as the most modern and innovative toothbrush in the world made from high quality sustainable material. Throughout 23 countries worldwide, Yumaki is represented in many top lifestyle and urban fashion stores ranging from your local skate shop to the most superlative locations. Many highly respected dentists are also offering Yumaki to their clients because it reflects their premium services. The brand has gotten great response at design exhibitions around the world and has been featured in many quality publications, ranging from many online publications such as The Cool Hunter to the more established printed magazines such as Monocle and Vogue.
Yumaki has stripped off all un-neccesary details seen on oral care products today and design the products with a strong focus on aesthetic impact, sustainability and ergonomics.

In the 2013 SS range we are also introducing the single tapered bristles, which are extra gentle on gums for our more sensitive users.

Our products have a proven ergonomic grip in the palm of your hand and most
importantly, they clean your teeth and gum just as efficient as any other toothbrush produced with state of the art European machines and Japanese materials.
