It thrives in the high altitudes of the Japanese Alps, sitting at around 450 meters to 800 meters (1,476 feet to 2,624 feet) above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"masumi-okuden-kantsukuri-mirror-of-truth","title":"Masumi - Okuden Kantsukuri - Mirror of Truth","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou’ve heard of comfort food, now it’s time for comfort sake.
