This time’s recommended brewery｜Ozawa Sake Brewery

Ozawa Sake Brewery was founded in 1702, Genroku 15.

Performers

Representative director
Mr. Mikio Ozawa

The 23rd generation head of Ozawa Sake Brewery, which has been in operation for over 300 years in Okutama, Tokyo. I grew up next to a sake brewery from an early age and spent my time surrounded by brewers and local people. After working at a general company, he joined Ozawa Sake Brewery, and after gaining experience in sales, he became president and representative director in 2019.

Rather than "changing," we value the idea of ​​"sublimating" what has been accumulated by successive owners, and we continue to take on new challenges while inheriting tradition. Through Tokyo's local sake "Sawanoi", we are focusing on delivering the charm of Okutama's nature and culture not only to Japan but to the world.

In the online sake brewery study abroad program, we will not only talk about the history and sake brewing of a sake brewery that has been in operation for 300 years, but we will also hear about Mr. Ozawa's thoughts on the future of the region and sake breweries.

Reason for introducing this sake brewery

This is because we are a sake brewery that not only values the history of over 300 years, but also the experience of drinking sake itself. Ozawa Sake Brewery has grown together with the nature, clean water, and local culture of Okutama, Tokyo.
The unique appeal of Ozawa Sake Brewery is that you can enjoy not only the alcohol but also the atmosphere of the place.

This sake brewery study abroad experience was made possible through the introduction of Nose-san, an exchange student at a sake brewery.
That's why this time's episode is not just an introduction to sake breweries, but a "sake brewery study abroad experience that connects people."

Please come and experience a slightly special night with us.
