Shimane Prefecture, Japan
Sakemochida Honten is a small family brewery that has been producing traditional sake for over 140 years in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture. Since ancient times, Izumo has been deeply involved in sake making and is considered by many to be the birthplace of Nihonshu. Legend tells that all Gods (and there are eight million of them in Shintoism), used to gather at the Izumo Matsuo Shrine for a feast that lasts 180 days. The street where Sakemochida Honten is located is called "Kitano Kaido", a classic neighborhood where you can still admire the ancient wooden buildings, a must to visit.
