The "Fermentation Culture Summit in Tokyo 2026" will be held at Shibuya Hikarie (2-21-1 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with young brewers dedicated to traditional barrel-aged soy sauce production and discuss its future.

The "Revival of Wooden Barrel Artisans Project," initiated in 2012, has garnered support from numerous breweries, chefs, and consumers, expanding the reach of wooden barrel culture. This summit specifically highlights the endeavors of young brewers in their 20s and 30s who have returned to their family businesses to learn soy sauce making from the older generation. They are actively preserving traditional methods while fostering international and cross-industry exchanges to convey the charm of wooden barrels from diverse perspectives.

This summit aims to foster a collaborative learning environment around the "pressing questions" of the next generation of brewers. Please note that program-specific fees and capacity limits apply. For detailed information, visit the official website.
