Japan's Rice and Sake Country

Niigata prefecture produces more rice and more sake breweries than any other in Japan — around 90 of them — because the snowmelt water off the mountains is unusually soft and the winters are long enough to control fermentation.

The clock: Niigata keeps UTC+9 and lies on the Sea of Japan coast, which gets some of the heaviest snowfall of any inhabited region on Earth.
