About

Yamaguchi Prefecture gained global recognition through Dassai, the Junmai Daiginjo brand that became the world's most famous sake. While historically overshadowed by neighboring Hiroshima, Yamaguchi's clean water from the Nishiki River and a new generation of ambitious breweries have put this western Honshu prefecture firmly on the international sake map.
