      Una storia horror inquietante e affascinante si sviluppa attraverso una serie di immagini apparentemente innocenti che conducono i lettori in un mondo disturbante, popolato da misteri irrisolti e menti frammentate. Questo bestseller, molto apprezzato, offre una nuova prospettiva sul genere, attirando i fan delle immagini nascoste e di Junji Ito. La sua narrazione agghiacciante promette di coinvolgere coloro che amano l'horror psicologico intrecciato con la narrazione visiva.

      This book is the first of its kind, a deep-dive into a single sake-producing region to highlight its delicious brews as well as the people, land, and culture behind them. Brewing in Yamaguchi -- in southern Honshu, Japan -- reflects the whole history of sake in Japan, from boom to bust to resurgence, and many of its brands, including the fabled Dassai, are now at izakaya and fine restaurants around the world. Expert Jim Rion takes us on a tour of all 23 Yamaguchi breweries to introduce the character of each and its brewmasters' best picks. Along the way he provides background on such topics as rice farmers, drinkware, brewing methods, and the controversy over sake "terroir" (does it exist?). An added bonus for travelers is a mini sightseeing guide to the region and its many delights. Illustrated with photographs and quick-reference sake labels.
