¡From Big Edo Prints¡
about sake drinking affairs

Although the down goods from the west (i.e. Kyoto, Osaka) had lost its name along the age, sake was out of this tendency. Sake consumed in Edo were mostly brought from the west. The ratio of sake from west vs. produced in Edo was 900,000 vs. 100,000 barrels at end of Edo era.
