In Japan, there are four seasons with beautiful nature, we have made various ideas, including preserved foods such as seasonal ingredients that can only be eaten at that time and pickled items that make use of regionally rooted ingredients.
In addition to local specialties and local dishes rooted in climate in each of the 47 prefectures, Ochazuke introduced in this book includes many ingredients that are suitable relish for Sake. Therefore, I would like to enjoy sake with regionally rooted ingredients together, introduce sake brewery, which can provide basic information on sake selection and tours nationwide.
