Iwakuni Special Feature
Iwakuni City in Yamaguchi Prefecture is known as the “Land of Sake,” famous for its delicious sake refined by the pristine waters of Iwakuni. To complement this exquisite sake, local artisans craft “Tsuman de Chonmage” (referring to a traditional Japanese topknot hairstyle worn by samurai). With a playful pun on the name, these delicious snacks are made with the finest ingredients from Iwakuni, prepared with refined skills and passion. We are excited to introduce these snacks, which are perfectly paired with sake and now available for you at home. You can purchase them from Iwakuni City on Buyee.

The majestic wooden structure of “Kintaikyo Bridge,” spanning Iwakuni City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, is one of Japan’s three most famous bridges and a premier example of wooden bridge architecture. What makes Kintaikyo truly remarkable is how it transforms with the changing seasons and times of day.
In spring, it’s a renowned cherry blossom spot; in summer, it hosts fireworks festivals and cormorant fishing; autumn brings stunning fall foliage, while winter offers a mystical snow-covered scene.
Furthermore, the nighttime view of Kintaikyo is so breathtaking that it has been recognized as part of Japan’s Night View Heritage, making it a must-visit destination at night. -

On top of that, Iwakuni is also renowned for its Japanese sake. The pure, clear waters of the region produce a variety of highly acclaimed sake brands, each with its own unique flavor. We recommend trying different varieties side by side to savor their distinct characteristics. Iwakuni’s local sake is not only celebrated locally but also popular abroad due to its exceptional quality.

The perfect companion for domestically and internationally acclaimed Iwakuni sake is the local snacks (otsumami). Iwakuni is home to a wealth of specialties nurtured by its pristine waters and rich natural environment. From Iwakuni lotus root, Kishine chestnuts, konnyaku, Takamori beef, wild-caught sweetfish, Yuu tomatoes, to wasabi—the list goes on. “Tsuman de Chonmage” is a series of meticulously crafted sake snacks made with these exceptional local ingredients from Iwakuni.
