Saitama Prefecture, which ranks 4th in the nation in terms of the volume of sake shipped by prefecture and the top in the Kanto region, is in fact one of the leading sake-producing regions in the country. A sake event will be held at Tokorozawa Sakura Town, where sake breweries from Saitama Prefecture will gather. At the tasting venue, where you can sample sake from each brewery (for a fee), you will be able to interact directly with the brewery staff, asking them about sake, and at the sales venue, you can purchase your favorite sake on the spot.

In addition, snacks from various regions that go perfectly with sake will also be on sale. Food trucks will be set up in the outdoor plaza, so you can enjoy gourmet food, making this an event that can be enjoyed not only by sake lovers, but also by families.
