About the Event:

Join us for SAKECON as we celebrate Sake Day — a nationally recognized holiday in Japan marking the start of the sake brewing season. Step into an immersive experience where ancient tradition meets modern flavor, with curated tastings of premium Japanese craft sake, artisan food pairings, and cultural showcases that highlight the spirit and artistry of Japan.

This year’s theme is “All White”, symbolizing the purity of Shinpaku — the snow-white heart of sake rice that lies at the center of every exceptional brew. From delicate floral aromas to bold umami richness, every sip is a journey through centuries of craftsmanship and innovation.

Whether you're a seasoned sake lover or a curious newcomer, prepare for a stylish, sensory celebration that brings Japan’s most cherished drink to life in the heart of New York.
