Toyama

富山

Toyama faces the Sea of Japan and is backed by the 3,000-meter peaks of the Tateyama mountain range, providing exceptionally pure, soft snowmelt water. The prefecture's sake style is clean, smooth, and pairs naturally with its famous seafood, especially shiroebi (white shrimp) and buri (yellowtail). Masu no Sushi boxes have long been accompanied by local sake.
