The Tokyo National Tax Agency will host the following cultural event. If you are interested, please register using the provided URL!
In December 2024, “JAPAN’S TRADITIONAL BREWING” was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
To commemorate this, a symposium focusing on traditional sake brewing will be held.
It will be a rare opportunity to hear experts and sake brewers (toji) discuss the techniques, history, and the importance of preserving this tradition.
As you learn about the depth and cultural value of Japanese sake and shochu,
we will also explore how to pass this tradition on to the future.
The content is designed to be accessible to beginners, so if you are interested in Japanese culture, we warmly invite you to join us!
