SAKAE SAKE SQUARE 2026: Taste Aichi & Gifu Sake at Oasis 21

The "SAKAE SAKE SQUARE 2026" will be held for three days from Saturday, July 18 to Monday, July 20, 2026, at the Galaxy Square of Oasis 21, a landmark in Sakae, Nagoya. This event is a sake tasting event that has been held since 2022, aiming to revitalize the sake industry in Aichi and Gifu prefectures, organized by the Aichi Sake Brewers Association, Gifu Sake Brewers Association Federation, and ZIP-FM.

Sample Sake from Approximately 50 Breweries

Approximately 50 sake breweries from Aichi and Gifu are expected to participate. The venue will feature paid tasting booths, along with booths offering snacks and sales of sake bottles to take home. Additionally, a DJ booth will provide music, creating a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy sake and food. It's an opportunity to fully experience the diverse appeal of Japanese sake.

Participation and Pricing

Admission is free, but a "Starter Set" is required to participate in sake tasting. The Starter Set includes "10 food and drink coins usable at the venue, an original sake cup, and a wristband." In addition to same-day sales at the venue, discounted advance Starter Sets (3,000 yen) are available through the ZIP-FM sake event app "Saké Fes Guide" and various ticket vendors.

This year, the "Saké Fes Guide" app exclusively offers "Starter Set with More Coins" (20 coins), "Eco-Friendly Starter Set" (coins increase if you bring a sake cup from a past event), and "Chokotto Starter Set" (just a sake cup). Utilizing these sets allows for a more cost-effective experience.
