Ozawa Brewery is located in the Mitake Valley in Ōme, western Tōkyō, just three minutes from Sawai Station on the JR Ōme Line. The brewery is right beside the banks of the Tama River, in sight of the spectacular Okutama mountains. It was founded in 1702, which makes it one of the oldest breweries in Tōkyō. Sawanoi is the brand name of Ozawa Shuzō, named after the local area of Sawai (沢井).

The brewery offers free tours that last about 45 minutes and include sake tasting. Visitors can see the spring water pouring from vertical holes dug 140 metres into the Chichibu rock formations. Several times a month, the brewery organises English tours. The tours take place daily (except Monday, 08:00-17:00). The brewery has its garden on the banks of the Tamagawa, Sawanoi-en (澤乃井園, Sawanoi Garden), where visitors can sit, eat, enjoy sake and buy souvenirs.

Sawanoi "Soten" is a sake that enters with a burst of flavour and exits with a smooth and gentle finish. It has a crisp and clean taste, combining a soft and rich sweetness with a refreshing touch. It also has a floral aroma that enhances its light and fresh flavour. The Soten balances a full-bodied and satisfying taste with a quick and smooth aftertaste. It pairs well with any food.
