Bringing Local Sake from Yamaguchi to the World
As a kikisake-shi, Certified Sake Professional, and heart-felt fan of Yamaguchi and its local sake, my primary goal is to bring a sense of Yamaguchi’s local sake scene to those who have no other way to find out about it.
In Progress
Works that are not yet finished or are awaiting publication
