There are 12 "sake" breweries in Nagoya (Nov. 2008) and three
of them are in Odaka, Midori-ku.
Odaka area is famous with the battle of Okahazama (Imagawa Yoshimoto vs
Oda Nobunaga) in 1560,
but also popular with sake brewage. Water here was good for producing sake
and
people started brewing here in the years of Genroku (1688-1704).
Buildings of both breweries are old and create a special atmosphere.
