YOKOYAMA Sake from Iki Island: Sake-Making Inspired by JUYONDAI and TOYO BIJIN Techniques
Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan flourished as a gateway for international trade. While Nagasaki is famous for Gunkanjima (Hashima Island), which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, another island in the same prefecture, Iki Island, attracts many tourists as a spiritual power spot. Did you know that on this remote island with a population of only about 25,000 people, there exists a brewery that boasts Japan's most advanced sake-making technology? This is Omoya Brewery, which produces the extremely popular brands "YOKOYAMA" and "YOKOYAMA GOJU" that any sake enthusiast in Japan has likely tasted at least once.
