🔴LIVE: Massive Sake Brewery Hopping Event in Fukuoka! / 第30回城島酒蔵びらき
I’m amazed we haven’t livestreamed from this spot yet! This is hands down one of my top winter picks in Fukuoka – a massive, multi-venue outdoor sake festival. Imagine this: over half a dozen breweries in the town throw open their doors to the public for 2 days, celebrating the debut of their freshly brewed sake. There’s a feast of local foods, an abundance of drinks, and plenty of friendly faces to meet. This is going to be a blast!

Chikugo-Jojima, known for its sake breweries blessed with the abundant waters of the Chikugo River and Chikugo rice, hosts Kyushu’s largest sake brewery opening event every February. During this event, eight breweries in the Jojima area simultaneously open their doors to the public.
Participants can tour the scattered sake breweries throughout the area, enjoying brewery tours, tastings, and comparisons, as well as purchasing charcoal-grilled foods, sake lees soup, and limited new sake releases exclusive to the brewery openings.
Moreover, at the main venue set up in the heart of the region, numerous stalls open, offering sake tasting from Jojima, stand-and-drink corners, local cuisine, and local specialties. Many attend specifically for the tasting opportunities here. Traditional performances, such as the “Chikugo Sake Brewing Song” and “Jojima Ryuujin Daiko,” are also showcased, embodying the area’s long-standing heritage.
Free shuttle buses between breweries allow visitors to immerse themselves in Jojima’s rich pastoral landscapes and its distinctively delightful sake.
