The 2nd Goshu Festa for WOMEN, a sake event for women, will be held on September 26th at the Jiji Press Hall (Ginza, Tokyo). This time, a new foreigner quota will be set up, and presentations in English will be scheduled.


Goshu Festa for WOMEN is a popular event that was held for the first time in May. There was a waiting list of 600 people for the capacity of 1,000 people.

This time, which is the second time, 30 warehouses from all over the country participated. You can freely sample more than 130 types of sake, including sake, sparkling sake, plum wine, and shochu. A lot of autumn sake "Autumn Hiyagoshi", which is hard to taste in Tokyo, will appear, and a spot sale event will be held. There will also be violin performances, comics, seminars on sake, and food sales.

The event is a three-part system. Part 1 is from 12:30 to 14:30 (women only), Part 2 is from 15:30 to 17:30 (women and accompanying men), Part 3 is from 18:30 to 20:30 Minutes (women and foreigners, English speaking). Capacity is 350 people each time. The membership fee is 3,000 yen, and it is sold in advance. Tickets can be purchased from the official website.

Satozake refers to sake made from rice and water produced in the prefecture where the sake brewery is located and within a radius of 100 km. The event organizer, the Japan Local Sake Cooperative, is working to popularize it as "genuine local sake produced by my hometown."
