Super Ginjo Festival 2026: A Toast to Japanese Sake

The much-anticipated Super Ginjo Festival 2026 is set to unfold on October 17 and 18, 2026, at the Tokyo Port City Takeshiba in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo. Organized by the prominent sake media and event planner SIPORY, this festival is proudly noted as one of Japan's largest gatherings celebrating ginjo sake. Last year’s festival in Ikebukuro saw over 2,500 attendees, and with expectations running high, this year's event is poised to attract even more visitors.

The Super Ginjo Festival serves as a grand platform where 42 selected sake breweries from across Japan and sake enthusiasts join hands to celebrate and appreciate the nuanced flavors of sake. Over 150 varieties of ginjo and junmai daiginjo sake will be available, allowing participants to indulge in tasting experiences that cater to everyone from beginners to seasoned aficionados. Visitors can look forward to engaging in comparative tastings, an exciting opportunity to explore the depth of Japanese sake.

Key Highlights of the Event

1. Unlimited Tasting: With the Countdown Ticket system, attendees can enter at any time during the festival hours and enjoy unlimited tastings for two hours. Unlike standard timed tasting events, this system offers flexibility, allowing guests to enjoy the festival without feeling rushed. In addition, marked booths are available for those new to sake, providing a comfortable pathway for their introduction to this traditional beverage.

2. Brewery Interactions: One of the unique features of the Super Ginjo Festival is the chance to converse directly with brewers from the participating 42 sake companies. This interaction enriches the tasting experience, as guests can purchase some of the showcased saké directly from the producers on-site.

3. Celebrity Talks: The festival will host an engaging series of talk shows titled “Soak in Good Voices and Alcohol!”, featuring notable personalities from the entertainment industry. Scheduled over two days, six segments will feature appearances by stars like Kenchi Tachibana from EXILE and popular voice actor Ai Kayano, among others. These interactive segments will deepen attendees' appreciation of sake.

4. Food Marche: A special food market called “Shippori Marche” will also run concurrently, enabling guests to enjoy tastings of food paired with sake, enhancing the overall culinary experience during the festival.
