・Brewery: Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo (Hokkaido) / Brands: Kamikawa Taisetsu, Tokachi, and others

A sake brewery from Mie Prefecture that had suspended production was relocated to Kamikawa Town, Hokkaido, giving rise to a new brewery—the first in the prefecture in about 20 years.

Surrounded by Hokkaido’s abundant nature, the brewery makes the most of its water and rice to practice traditional sake brewing in small batches.

We invite you to enjoy our sake, where the umami and aroma of the rice harmonize beautifully.

■ KEG DRAFT: State-of-the-art technology that lets you enjoy the fresh taste of unpasteurized sake

At this event, “SAKE FES 2026 by KEG DRAFT vol. 3,” you can enjoy sake as fresh as if you were tasting it straight from the brewery.

The reason you can enjoy this deliciousness even at an outdoor event lies in the “KEG DRAFT” system, which preserves the freshness of the sake. By filling delicate sakes, such as unfiltered unpasteurized sake, into the specialized “KEY KEG” container while they are still fresh, the system minimizes oxidation and maintains freshness.

At this event, sake will be served via “KEG DRAFT,” allowing you to enjoy a taste as fresh as if it were just pressed.
