Promoting Hope and Resilience: A Charity Event with SAKE HUNDRED and Local Universities

A Unique Charity Event in Kobe: Connecting Past and Future Through Sake

In an inspiring collaboration, the Japanese sake brand SAKE HUNDRED will host a major charity event alongside Kobe Gakuin University and Shoin University. This partnership coincides with the 31st anniversary of the Kobe Luminarie, a festival commemorating the victims of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The event, set to take place on January 31 and February 1, 2026, at Umie in Kobe Harborland, aims to promote disaster preparedness and hope for the future.

This initiative will revolve around the GENGAI, a vintage sake that has matured for 31 years, symbolizing resilience and hope that emerged from the ashes of the earthquake. The event will serve not only as a tribute to the past but also as a means for participants to engage with the memories of the disaster while learning valuable lessons about disaster management.
