Today I attended a sake drinking party at the Ozawa Sake Brewery. It was the first time for me to learn about the culture of "Nomikiri," which is to evaluate sake while it is still maturing. The event was a gorgeous comparison of the well-known Sawanoi sake in the process of maturing and the sake that has already been adjusted to be sold on the market. Four kinds of sake! The price was 5,500 yen, including the tour and meal. That's a bargain! It was not an all-you-can-drink event, but you could drink a little less than 3 gos of sake.
The one that made the biggest impact on me was the Okutama Spring-fermented Dry Sake. This is the only time you can get cheap and tasty Okutama Spring-fermented dry sake in fresh storage at this drinking contest. It has a dangerous alcohol content of 21 degrees. It was surprisingly dry and refreshing like Okutama Spring Water Brewed Dry Sake, but with a strong flavor. We drank it with a few other sakes, but we enjoyed this one to the very end.
The bottom right photo is the drink in question.
The tofu-centered cuisine at Makkagotoya was also very tasty, and we were completely impressed.
