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.
Sake Today
I had an article in Issue 22 of Sake Today (Summer 2019) introducing local sake brewery Yamagata Honten, and I also took included photographs. The story is in print only, and unavailable online.
