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, including the fabled Dassai, are now at izakaya and fine restaurants around the world. Expert Jim Rion takes us on a tour of all 23 Yamaguchi breweries to introduce the character of each and its brewmasters' best picks. Along the way he provides 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 brewery photographs and quick-reference sake labels.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1386577</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1386577</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rion, Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1386577037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Taster&apos;s Guide to Breweries, Culture, &amp; Terrain</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange Pictures]]></title><description><![CDATA[A series of drawings made by a young woman before her death.
