Tanuki Nijo Sake Matsuri (Day 1 of 17)

The Tanuki Nijo Sake Matsuri is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special two-phase sake festival in Sapporo. Sake fans can enjoy tastings from 50 sake breweries representing all 47 Japanese prefectures in the first phase, and 16 local Hokkaido breweries in the second phase. For 1,000 yen, attendees can taste up to five varieties each day. Additional highlights include a self-serve sake cup corner, the open-air sake bar, and a fun Garapon lottery. This event is a must-visit for anyone looking to discover the wide world of Japanese sake in the lively setting of Soseigawa Park. The festival runs from April 24th to May 10th, 2026 – but this entry is for the opening day only. Celebrate 10 years of incredible sake and fun community spirit!
