What is CRAFT SAKE WEEK?
Attendees can enjoy sake served directly by brewers, learn about pairing sake with food, and discover the individuality and passion of each brewery. The event's design incorporates Japanese cultural elements and seasonal themes, with installations by renowned architects.
The venue design incorporates elements of Japanese culture and the four seasons, featuring themes such as yagura (wooden towers), cherry blossoms, bamboo, ropes, and masu (wooden cups). Each year, renowned architects active both in Japan and internationally create unique installations exclusively for CRAFT SAKE WEEK, transforming the space into a magical environment that showcases the richness of Japanese culture.
The event also features numerous restaurants, including world-renowned Michelin-starred establishments and others that are typically difficult to reserve. Dishes crafted by highly acclaimed chefs are carefully designed to pair perfectly with sake. These special menus, unique to the event, also cater to non-drinkers, ensuring enjoyment for all. The event emphasizes not only the quality of food and sake but also the artistry of the vessels used, showcasing the precision and aesthetic of Japanese craftsmanship.
In recent years, the event has expanded beyond sake to provide a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture. A notable addition is the focus on Japanese tea, which, like sake, has seen a surge in international interest and exports. At the 2023 event, over 10 carefully curated tea categories were presented, sourced from tea farmers across Japan. This allows non-alcohol drinkers to enjoy pairings with food while discovering the depth and evolution of modern Japanese tea culture.
Through these innovative elements, CRAFT SAKE WEEK continues to evolve, promoting the value and potential of Japan’s rich food and drink culture to the world.
"CRAFT SAKE WEEK" continues to evolve beyond just a sake event, sharing the value and potential of Japan's world-renowned food culture through a variety of experiences and content.
