Climb Mt. Ontake and then visit a sake brewery.

Drinking Sawanoi on a stone while looking at the beautiful river is exceptional.

Sawanoi's Okutama Spring Water Dry Sake. A cosy regular sake. The contents of the heated bottle are apparently the same. I bought a warming bottle as a substitute for a sake warmer.
The aroma is that of a regular sake, or rather, a sake with a heavy alcohol content!
The aroma is that of regular sake, or rather, the same sake that is made with the same alcoholic beverages.
The most important thing is to create a state where your tongue is waiting for a dry sake.
The happiness of the repetition continues.
Sawanoi's new Shibori. Ginjo-no-nama-sake.
The aroma is like green apple and pineapple. Despite the sweet aroma, it has a pleasant impression of a crisp, dry attack with a shwashy, fizzy feeling. The subtle sweetness is also pleasant. Sawanoi really has a brilliant endorsement expression. It is a perfect expression.
Nigori Ekiden, section 5
The Nigori Ekiden has now turned around...it's time to climb the mountain. Our team has chosen this humble yet powerful sake, which can be consumed in a single bottle without any problem, as the god of the mountain! You may call me austere, but this is the way I choose.
Last year, it had been too long since the bottle was released and I couldn't feel any fizziness... This year, I drank it as soon as I bought it, so I could taste the fizziness, big or small. Gentle and schwirling mouthfeel.
The aroma is a nigori-like rice flavor. The hints of banana-like aroma that grow more and more bananas-like by the day are very nice.
It is delicious from the moment it is sipped all the way through to the end! It is not a junmai sake, but rather an aruzome sake, which means that it finishes sharply, but this is probably the reason why it can be drunk lightly without being sluggish. Especially with a meal, it is easy to drink endlessly, so you need to save your energy.
This year I enjoyed it even more than last year... My only regret is that I drank it all cold. It's absolutely delicious even if you warm it up... It's a new dark horse sectional record like Yamamoto of Josai University in 2023 (the following year, he was also a new sectional record)! We were very impressed.
