About the brewery: The Yamanashi Meijo brewery is located at the foot of the Japanese Alps, north of Yamanashi prefecture, on the island of Honshu. It was founded in 1750 by the descendant of a long line of brewers who originally settled in the Nagano region. Mr. Kitahara, then representative of the seventh generation of this family, discovered, in the heart of the locality of Hakushu, water of exceptional quality. He decided to settle there to found his own brewery. This pure water comes from the melting snow of Mount Kai Komagatake, whose summit rises to over 2900m above sea level. It feeds the springs of the region after being slowly filtered through the granite rock, thus taking on the minerals essential for the production of sake.
Recognition was quick and the good reputation of Yamanashi Meijo went beyond the limits of the locality to the point of becoming a place of visit for the Meiji Emperor who stayed there during his official visits. Since that time, the majestic family home has been elevated to the rank of a high place of historical interest in Japan. Today, the elaboration of sake is still a family affair and the 13th generation takes care of the details, practicing in particular long fermentations, at low temperature, with the aim of preserving the signature of Yamanashi Meijo's sakes: sakes with both delicate and rich, in which we find intact the remarkable quality of spring water.

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
