"Sakano Sawada Ogura Tei" also offers take-out sake, and you can take out small bottles starting at 90ml each. It's also popular as a small gift, and if you're a drinker, you can buy several types for reasons such as ``tasting high-quality daiginjo for conversation'' or ``trying local sake from Ozu.'' You can also have a lively discussion about alcohol with the shop owner. Even those who don't drink can enjoy just touring the store as a souvenir of their trip.
