The sake tasting event "Tokyo SAKE Collection 2024 ~Sake Collection @ Sake in Akihabara~" will be held from Saturday, October 2024th to Monday, October 10th, 12. Approximately 14 types of sake, from masterpieces of sake to rare delicacies that are rarely seen in Tokyo, will gather in Akihabara.

"Tokyo SAKE Collection 2024 ~Sake Collection @ Sake in Akihabara~" is a sake event aimed at spreading the appeal of sake to young people who have few opportunities to experience sake, as well as foreigners. At the sake tasting venue on the first floor, you can compare about 100 types of sake while being poured by the brewer, the master brewer, and the brewers and interacting with them. The special sake cup that comes with the special tasting ticket has an attractive design in which rough waves and Mt. Fuji appear when you pour hot sake into it. There will also be food trucks set up so you can enjoy food that goes perfectly with the sake.

On the basement floor, there will be a Rakugo performance that you can enjoy while drinking, and a talk show by Masayuki Kusumi, the original author of the manga "Kodoku no Gourmet." In addition, there will be an exhibition of sake-themed illustrations by famous illustrators, and sake with original labels that match the illustrations will be on sale.

While sipping little-known sakes from around the country, you will be able to experience the appeal of sake and the gourmet foods that go well with it from a variety of different angles.
