Celebrate World Sake Day on October 1

Celebrated since 1978, World Sake Day recognizes all things sake and its contributions to Japanese culture. To kick off this year’s event on October 1, The World Sake Day (WSD) Global Kanpai and Sake Central, together with Hong Kong’s Oriental Sake Awards (OSA), and the Federation of Japanese Sake Industry of Hong Kong (FJSIHK), is launching a massive toast to sake via an online celebration and an on-ground event at KIN Food Halls.

From 6pm to 9pm, up to 300 live feeds from restaurants, bars, importers, educators, sake breweries, various media platforms, and sake fanatics will cheer for World Sake Day. Join the fun and celebrations online or drop by at KIN Food Halls to raise your own limited edition World Sake Day Ochoko Sake Cup.
