Last week I went to Sawanoi-en in Okutama to get special daiginzyo japanese sake.Okutama is far from my living town Nerima it take about 2 hours to go there from here.
Sawanoi-en is something park for adults which is managed by Ozawa brewery who produces famous japanese sake named “Sawanoi”.there are restaurants,tasting room for “Sawanoi” sakes and foods shop which deals with Sake,Tofu and something healthy foods.



Junichiro Ozawa,who is the president of its brewery,is my friend.we’ve met about 4 years ago at the “oke sake” event in Roppongi.it was a great time to have a talk with him,since then we met serveral times having nomis…
last month I found sake lees used for Daiginzyo at Keio Department Store in Shinjuku I bought them and occurred some ideas – it was sure that fresh Sawanoi Daiginzyo “kamekuchi” for this year had delivered and I was very much scared he would have sold out all.so I ask for him about stocks of this sake.he told there were only two for the rest.so I had an appointment with him to get two last weekend.
it was too cold there Okutama so I was at room for tasting sake netsurfing with my Eee.I have found I can use emobile cellphone network.


I was invited in his old japanese house it seemed to build in Edo period because it was used karabuki roofs.I had a nomi with him with good dishes -sashimi and delicious Japanese ones – and good drinks.It was a great time to talk with him.he said he wished he had his sakes drunk by many foreigners.
I haven’t pull out the plugs of these “Kamekuchi” drinks yet.I wish I would have a nomi with these sake with my good friends.
