Celebrate the Fusion of Japanese Culture at SEIJO Festival in Tokyo

The SEIJO Festival (國酒の聲｜聲醸祭) is a groundbreaking event scheduled to take place on December 27-28, 2025, at the Tokyo City Eye Performance Zone (KITTE B1F). Organized by Sake Ani JAPAN (Ballista Inc.), this event is set to immerse attendees in a culturally rich experience that celebrates the profound history of Japanese sake combined with the vibrant world of voice acting.

This innovative project aims to promote the cultural significance and production methods of Japan's national beverage. By intertwining Japan's strengths in the content industry with sake, SEIJO Festival seeks to create new markets, particularly targeting younger audiences and overseas consumers. Additionally, it wants to enhance the cultural value of sake, stimulate tourism to sake-producing regions, and contribute to local revitalization efforts.
