Sendai Tanabata Sake Festival: Accessible from the Tokyo Metropolitan Area
On August 7th (Sunday), during the historic Sendai Tanabata Festival, brewers and retailers involved in promoting Japanese sake, known as "Wajowaraku," along with 45 supporting breweries, will gather in Sendai. Under the theme "Sendai Tanabata Sake Festival" ~The Power of Japan: Revitalizing with Sake~, a sake banquet will be held at the Koyoh Grand Hotel. This year, in partnership with Nippon Travel, participants can choose between a "Sendai Day Trip Tour" from Tokyo, or a "1-Night, 2-Day" course that includes viewing the Tanabata festival and participating in volunteer activities in the disaster-stricken areas, with accommodation at a ryokan in Matsushima.

Let's bring vitality back to the disaster-stricken regions with Japanese sake, the true power of Japan.──On the day of the Sendai Tanabata Festival, the "Sendai Tanabata Sake Festival" aims to foster connections through sake, bringing together participants from the Tokyo metropolitan area and local residents to enjoy fine sake with popular brewers. By savoring delicious sake, the event seeks to invigorate Japan together.
Concept of the "Sendai Tanabata Sake Festival"
1. A portion of the participation fees and sales will be used to aid the reconstruction of the disaster-affected regions through prefectural channels in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.
2. Participants can savor 45 types of rare Japanese sakes, including the 20 popular breweries from "Wajowaraku" and those who have endorsed the event, alongside the brewers themselves. We will also produce and sell original "Wajowaraku" sake glasses.
