    The Story of Yamaguchi

    When Japan transitioned from the Shogun to rule by Emperor it was divided into 47 prefectures. Yamaguchi Prefecture gained a reputation as the home of forward-thinking artists, teachers and politicians who embraced the unconventional – these were often considered the rebels of this island nation. It is believed that the people of Yamaguchi are unique in that regard. Yamaguchi Beer follows the Spirit of that tradition.
