Mitake (November 18th)

 

The maples were red at Mitake Sta.

     After we walked around at the Nippara area in Okutama, we took the train to Mitake sta. and walked by the Tama river.  The big Ginkgo tree turned yellow and maples were red there.
     We kept walking till we got to Ozawa Sake brewery at Sawai, where we tasted a cup of Sake.  I had Yuzu-citrus-flavored Sake.

日原散策の後は、御岳渓谷周辺に立ち寄りました。御嶽のランドマーク、大銀杏もきれいに黄葉していました。カエデも先週よりさらに赤く色づいています。沢井の小澤酒造では、柚子フレーバーのお酒をテイスティングしました。日本酒で仕込んだ梅酒「ぷらり」の方が、自分は好みかな…
