Okayama Region
Situated in the Chugoku Area, which includes
Hiroshima to the West and Tottori to the North, Okayama is known
as the “Land of Sunshine,” because of it sunny and
dry weather. Okayama is a rich agricultural region, yielding
Japan’s most famous peaches, and great strawberries and
grapes. The Seto Inland Sea, which lies between the coast of
Okayama and the island of Shikoku yields wonderful oysters,
snapper and water eel. Other kinds of fish that grow in this
Sea are small and flavorful. Thus, the cooking style of Okayama
is simple, allowing the natural flavors to shine through.
Meaning “Depth” Chikurin’s Fukamari Junmai
is made to complement flavorful foods like these fish. Meaning
“Lightness,” Karoyaka Junmai Ginjo is brewed for
oysters and other light foods, including salads and sushi and
sashimi.
