What is the best Japan made braid?

I want to try some more stuff, so far one good one I have found with good review is Sunline Cast Away.

I don't know whether it's "the best" but I'm a fan of Sunline Super PE. It's great on all my baitcasters that use braid, and on my spinning reels I use 10lb Sunline Castaway.

I used to use an orange line called Basshard made by Line System. That was my favourite but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I urge caution here, brother. I've tried it. It's a cool color and all, but it's attributes are stiff, knotty, coarse, and very loud.

In my opinion i think YGK WX8 is the best from Japan. Don't buy it through TW though, they are overpriced, get it from Japan stores like JLS. I have used 3 different sizes for the past 5 years or so and never had a break off due to the line. All break off was with the Seaguar leader material. The lime green doesn't bleed much either because my 2 year old line is still fairly bright.

I am using YGK Super Jigman X8 for spinning, and WX8 Full Drag for casting. Clearly superior to all of the braids I have tried.

I have never used it, but have heard from quite a few guys that the wx8 is a better braid in every way.

Upgrade has higher strength to diameter ratio than WX8. WX8 has nicer coating though. So it's not better in every way.
