Ozawa Shuzo is a sake brewery located near Sawai Station in Okutama. Next to the brewery, there is a café, a garden, and a sake tasting place along the Ontake Valley, which is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Okutama. On the way back from a hike in the autumn leaves, we stopped by the garden (Sawanoi-en), which was very crowded on a sunny weekend. Sake and snacks were available for purchase by weight. Since it was just the beginning of the new sake season, many people bought four-packs of sake at the directly managed store and immediately opened them, turning the place into a wonderland for sake fans. The taste was fruity, as is typical of nama-shu. However, I was too tired or too drunk to open 300 bottles, so I had to take some home with me. I hope to be in good physical condition next time.
