We’re excited to announce that JAPAN CRAFT SAKE COMPANY will be taking part in the final event of Expo 2025,
“JR-West Group Presents: Festival of Thanks and Departures ~Thank You For Everything~”
hosted by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West).
This special event is dedicated to expressing heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the Expo, while also celebrating the journey ahead.
As part of the first segment of the day’s programme, we will be hosting:
CRAFT SAKE DAY 2025 in OSAKA.
This event is inspired by JR-West’s theme of gratitude, and aims to show appreciation to all the visitors from around the world who came to the Expo, as well as to the countless pavilion staff who helped bring it to life.
At CRAFT SAKE DAY, guests will be treated to a carefully curated selection of sake from some of Japan’s leading breweries, served in beautifully handcrafted original sake cups made by Japanese artisans. These special cups are yours to take home as a memento of the day.
Joining us are six top breweries from across the JR-West area — all fan favourites from CRAFT SAKE WEEK — and the brewers themselves will be on hand to welcome guests and pour their sake with pride.
This is a rare chance to experience the true spirit of sake, where tradition meets innovation — we hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable occasion.
Admission is free with advance reservation.
