I've heard of Sake sales have been sharply declining in japan for a while now. (or rather, Nihonshu, Sake is just the japanese word for alcohol, what we in the west call Sake is actually called Nihonshu)
A lot of the sake makers have switched to making beer. Sake has been growing in popularity outside of Japan however. So apparently, in addition to this anime thing, the Sake makers have been trying to convince people that sake is the hip and cool thing fancy people in Manhatten are drinking. They really don't want sake to be that thing only old people drink. |

Dang, I timed my trip to Kyoto wrong. I should have gone there after going to Tokyo for the last Yamato 2199 movie rather than before. Had I known the timing of this event four months ago when I was planning everything, I would have gone now instead of during Obon (which would have been fantastic since when I was there during Obon, it was, unsurprisingly, extremely crowded and 104 degrees (40 in Australian terms) in the shade on most days). A couple of those Yamato sake cups would have been a good souvenir. If I'd had any money left after the 2199 gift shop and Akihabara.
