An order to make good sake, there are many things you need, but among them are good water and good rice, both of which you can find in abundance throughout Shimane Prefecture. There are 34 sake breweries (sakagura) in Shimane, from Yasugi in the east to Masuda in the west, and even one out on the Oki Islands, and the high-quality sake that these breweries make is enjoyed both in Shimane and around the country. Some breweries provide tours, but it is always good to call ahead and make sure. Contact information can be found below.
