Like most people on this great forum, I am pretty fussy about my gear. My favourite wedges ever (bought from TSG and custom built by Chris), which are still in my bag but the copper underlay is starting to sow through, are the satin Epon Technity series. I have 52, 56 and 60. I like these for the firm conditions here in Aus because of the low bounce, and that they come in 52, 56 and 60. Not many of the JDM wedge offerings offer a low bounce 60 degree wedge these days.
I was kinda hoping that the next series of wedges that Epon offers will be more like these old Technitys. If so I think I'd go that way again. If not, I think the closest thing available today would be the previous PRGR TR series with s300 shafts. They look very close in specs.
Would love to hear of any other wedges worth considering.

The lowest bounce on wedges I can find and do use is the new(er) Geotech GT forged bite V2. Most loft would have a 5* bounce version including the 60*. While it is not big name, the GT wedges are, nevertheless, forged in Japan.

Hadn't considered those, thanks Duffer!
The new Yamaha specs (and reviews) do look good for 52* and 56* models. Geotech might be a good option for the 60*
