“Fushimi Sake Festival” will be held on Saturday, March 2024, 3!
“Delicious sake and fun events: A day around Fushimi.”

The Fushimi Sake Brewery Association wants people to actually visit the sake breweries and historical towns of Fushimi, Kyoto, and experience their charm, so we have decided on the area and scale of the Sake Festival held every March. It has been decided that the event will be expanded and held for the first time on Saturday, March 3, 2024 as “Fushimi Sake FES.”

In addition to the brewery event held every March in Fushimi, Kyoto, which is one of the leading sake producing areas in Japan, three types of high-quality sake from 3 sake breweries will be exhibited at Fushimi Port Park, the main venue. In addition to the paid tastings (advance reservations required, first-come, first-served), there will also be many food booths, and there will be stage events and events where you can enjoy both alcohol and food.

Furthermore, in the Fushimi area, 11 sake breweries will be opening, simultaneous events will be held, and stamp rallies will be held around local shopping streets, which can be enjoyed not only by adults but also by families.
Even if you don't participate in the event, you can experience the city of Fushimi, including the sake breweries, so why not take this opportunity to visit Fushimi?

~Background behind the Fushimi Sake Festival~

Kyoto Prefecture is the second largest producer of sake in Japan.Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, produces the majority of this, with a total of 2 breweries within a 1.5km radius.This area boasts the highest production volume in the country by city, ward, town, or village.
Fushimi is an area with a history, landscape, and culture that is different from that of Kyoto City, including Fushimi Castle, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, traces of the end of the Edo period, including Teradaya, and a streetscape of sake breweries.In addition, the railway has 3 lines and 7 stations, making it easy to access from Kyoto Station, Osaka City, and Nara City.
However, although many tourists visit Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which is also located in Fushimi Ward, many people leave after just visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and the current situation is that they do not often visit the area around the sake brewery.
Therefore, the Fushimi Sake Brewers Association wondered if they could hold an event that would give people a chance to get to know Fushimi anew.We believe that if this event grows and becomes established as a local event, it will help raise the profile of Fushimi, so we will reach out to local shopping streets and local organizations, and work together as a community to promote Fushimi. It has a large element of revitalization.Therefore, although it is an alcoholic event, it also incorporates elements that children can enjoy, making it an event that anyone of any age can enjoy exploring Fushimi.
Additionally, a clean walk will be held the day after the event to clean up the area around the venue.
