Okayama Prefecture produces 9% of "Omachi", a variety of rice known for its excellent sake brewing properties. It is said that about two-thirds of the existing varieties of sake brewing rice are descended from Omachi, and Omachi is the foundation of the sake culture that Okayama is proud of nationwide. The "Omachi and Local Sake Festival" is a local sake event unique to Okayama where sake brewed with Omachi is gathered together.

On the day, you can enjoy tastings of sake from participating breweries in the prefecture, as well as tastings of Omachi sakes that have won awards at competitions from all over Japan. There will also be a variety of events planned to allow you to enjoy Okayama's sake and food, such as the sale of Okayama's local dish, "Haru-zushi," a gourmet corner using ingredients from Okayama, a talk show by 2024 Miss Sake Okayama and comedians living in Okayama, and a corner promoting Okayama's local sake and Omachi tourism. There will also be a stamp rally lottery where you can collect stamps after tasting local sake.

There will also be a tasting popularity ranking based on visitor votes, so even those new to sake will find it enjoyable.
