Sweet, sparkling, or scorching hot — however you like your sake, the Sake Festival Nakameguro (officially the Japanese Sake and Food Festival, Washu Fes in Nakameguro) provides. This November, 52 breweries are pouring more than 260 kinds of sake in the plaza at Nakameguro GT Tower.
What happens?
Breweries from all over Japan — from big names to tiny craft producers — line up to pour their sake. Take the chance to talk to the brewers about what makes their sake unique, and find the ones that suit your taste. If something really hits the spot, you can buy a bottle at the sales corner to take home.
Don’t worry about drinking on an empty stomach. To complete the festival mood, there are food stalls serving regional specialties picked to pair with sake, plus live music and performances on the stage.
Sessions
The festival runs on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026, with two sessions each day:
- Part 1: 12 p.m.–2:10 p.m.
- Part 2: 3 p.m.–5:10 p.m.
Tickets
A tasting ticket costs ¥4,500. It includes an original tasting glass (yours to take home), a sake guidebook, a pouch to carry your glass in, and a bottle of mineral water. You can buy tickets online in English by credit card. Check the official site for the latest details.
