Last year, the line looked like it was about to wrap all the way around the venue building〜. About 300 meters, distance-wise
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” and went back for another serving〜
There was all kinds of food that looked perfect with sake〜
This really makes the sake go down easy〜〜
Oh! It’s Ozeki’s president, Kunichan Osabe〜〜
On stage, “酒なベイベーズ,” a music band formed by brewery employees from Nada Gogo, was really getting the crowd going〜〜
After that, Ozeki employees performed songs such as “Sakezukuri Uta” and “Motosuri Uta,” which have been sung during sake brewing since about 400 years ago〜
You can hear it here (footage from the 2019 event)↓
That perfectly unusual melody gets stuck in your head〜😆
Of course, they were selling sake too〜
They were also selling snack sets, Ozeki sake manju, narazuke pickles, and more〜
