IMG_1750 * The Yamagata region is well known (in Japan) for producing fruit. The mountain slopes are covered with grape producing farms (the kind you eat). A couple of farms have gone into producing wine grapes. * 2592 x 1944 * (1.36MB)

IMG_1751 * We visited the Takahata winery and were able to sample some of their wines. Not bad so we bought a bottle. It is still fairly new. Maybe 10 years old so they don't produce enough for export. * 2592 x 1944 * (837KB)

IMG_1758 * We went to a sake brewing museum. Sake is made from rice and there seemed to be a lot of rice fields around this area as well. This is a portable tea kettle and fireplace (hibachi). You put the coals underneath and water in the side container to brew tea. It's kind of like a Kelly Kettle. * 1944 x 2592 * (724KB)
