Sake and Breweries Map of Japan
I’m planning to visit my family in Japan this fall, and I have a long list of things I want to do—one of them being a sake brewery tour! Unfortunately, as of July 2023, many breweries are still closed to the public due to lingering effects of the pandemic. I almost forgot we’re still navigating the tail end of it! Hopefully, things will improve before my trip so I can experience the brewery tour I’ve been looking forward to.

Fun Fact : Do you know how much Sake is in a common sized Sake barrel? It's about 19 Gallons (72 litters)!!
Big'o party size for sure :)
I also wrote the story about this Sake map on my blog.
