Where is he from?
He is from Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Iwate Prefecture is located in the Tohoku region of Japan, and winters are quite cold in this area. Particularly in the inland and mountainous areas, temperatures tend to drop easily, and a cold climate is characteristic. It is common for the average winter temperature to be below freezing in Celsius, and there is also a lot of snowfall in the region.
Is Sake made in cold regions delicious?
Alcohol produced in cold regions often has a unique flavor influenced by the climate and terrain of the area. For instance, sake and shochu made in Japan’s colder regions are affected by the cool climate, resulting in rich flavors and deep complexity due to its impact on the brewing process and cultivation of ingredients.
