    Yamaguchi Yanai-shi Yanai 3708-1
    This soy sauce brewery first opened in 1830. They continue to carefully make their Sai-Shikomi (refermented) soy sauce using the same traditional techniques. Their Kanro Soy Sauce, a well-known product of Yanai, draws its name from when it was served to Lord Yoshikawa, lord of what was then the Iwakuni Domain, and the full-bodied flavor and fragrance caused him to cheer 'Kanro! (Nectar)' without thinking. It's made by adding more malted rice to already completed soy sauce and allowing it to ferment again making it take twice the materials and time as regular soy sauce. Their Kanro soy sauce is made in a vast cedar tub using the subterranean waters of the Kotoishi mountain range and is normally served alongside sashimi and nigiri-sushi.

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
