CRAFT SAKE WEEK is a festival of Japanese food culture that has attracted a total of 600,000 visitors over the past six years. Various sake breweries, restaurants and architects exhibit according to each year's theme, adding to the excitement of the event.
Sake experts, including Hidetoshi Nakata, in collaboration with sake retailers across the country, have tasted and selected the best sake from hundreds of breweries across the country to offer you the best sake. Each day has a theme to ensure that a wide range of people can enjoy the event, from those who have just started drinking sake to those who are regular drinkers. By limiting the number of breweries to 10 each day, it is easy to understand the characteristics of each brewery, and you are sure to find the sake of your choice!
The best gourmet restaurants, which are highly acclaimed both at home and abroad, offer original menus only available during CRAFT SAKE WEEK. The carefully selected restaurants are all Michelin-starred and other renowned establishments that have won acclaim both at home and abroad. Popular restaurants, which are normally difficult to book, will offer original menus specially developed for this event at reasonable prices. Enjoy pairing the finest sake with exquisite cuisine!
