A fun-packed Japanese festival “ #Sake Festival & Edo Digital Art Exhibition” where visitors can taste Japanese sake and experience its traditional culture, will be held at Carriageworks in Sydney on Saturday 30 September to Sunday 1 October! Sake Festival will be held for the second time this year after the success last year in Sydney, and will be bigger this year, upgraded even further with four themes: sake, food, culture and tourism in Japan!
The event will have two main areas at the venue. Area for the Sake Festival is where visitors can fully taste #Japanese sake and other alcoholic beverages. Sake breweries and sake makers from #Japan will introduce their products, and there will be over 200 different types of Japanese sake available for taste and purchase on the spot. Various Japanese foods cooked by the local restaurants that accompany sake will also be available. Moreover, sake related products and selected made-in-Japan products will be available to purchase! And another exciting program concurrently held is the Edo Digital Art Exhibition, a special feature on the theme of the Edo period (1603 – 1867) in Japan. The digital screen will introduce the most famous Japanese art, Ukiyo-e paintings, the life in #Edo, and the historical charm that began in the Edo period, all information-laden visual contents that are enjoyable for people of all ages. At this zone, Japanese traditional crafts, performing arts, fashion and other Japanese products will be on display and some of them for sale, as well as live performances and workshops for kids and adults.
