Scenes from the 2024 event↓
Last year, there was a line so long it looked like it might wrap all the way around the venue building〜. About 300 meters long
Once inside, the food and drink booths were packed too.
These are the three kinds of sake we had.
Shachobi liked the “Daiginjo Nama Genshu” so much she went back for another serving〜
There were all kinds of foods that looked perfect with sake〜
This really makes the sake go down easy〜〜
Oh! It’s Ozeki’s president, Kunichan Osabe〜〜
On stage, “Sake na Babies,” a band made up of brewery employees from Nada Gogo, really got the crowd going〜〜
After that, Ozeki employees performed songs such as “Sake-zukuri Uta” and “Motosuri Uta,” which have been sung during sake brewing since around 400 years ago〜
You can listen to it here (footage from the 2019 event)↓
The subtle melody is seriously addictive〜😆
Of course, there was also sake for sale〜
They were also selling snack sets, Ozeki sake manju, narazuke pickles, and more〜
