Today is Risshun, the first day of spring in the old reckoning in Japan. There's a (modern, retailer driven, capitalist) tradition of sake breweries pressing, bottling, and shipping sake for drinking on this day—essentially, the freshest possible sake you can get outside of a brewery. It's called Risshun Asashibori, and the local participating brewery is Sakai Shuzo, Gokyo.
This year's Junmai Ginjo is hefty and full bodied. Memories fade, but I think it's better than last year's...
Enjoyed from a hand-blown Hagi glass tokkuri and a guinomi by Terada Teppei @teppeiterada_bizanpottery.

Do you, or any of your friends, like sake? Like books about Japan? Like stories of people dedicated to craft and local food culture? Then "Discovering Yamaguchi Sake" might well be what you're looking for as you search for presents this holiday season.
What kind of book is it, you ask?
To paraphrase the publisher:
It's a new and remarkable look at the sake produced in Japan’s Yamaguchi Prefecture.A first of its kind, it's a deep-dive into a single sake-producing region to highlight its delicious brews as well as the people, land, and culture behind them. Brewing in Yamaguchi—in southern Honshu, Japan—reflects the whole history of sake in Japan, from boom to bust to resurgence, and many of its brands are now at fine restaurants around the world.
Go on a tour of all 23 Yamaguchi breweries to learn about the character of each and its brewmasters’ best picks. I also provide background on such topics as rice farmers, drinkware, brewing methods, and the controversy over sake “terroir” (does it exist?). An added bonus for travelers is a mini sightseeing guide to the region and its many delights. Illustrated with photographs and quick-reference sake labels.
