The Sakaya Kakuuchi Festival (commonly known as Kakufes) is an event where historic liquor stores come together to enjoy drinks in the "kakuuchi" style.
There are over 300 types of alcohol carefully selected by alcohol professionals. In addition to enjoying a wide variety of food, including dishes that go perfectly with alcohol, artists will perform on a special stage to liven up the venue.
There is also a "Sake Tasting Experience" where you can casually learn about the characteristics of sake, and a "Kakuuchi Sake Awards" where you can vote for sake carefully selected by liquor stores to determine the winner. Enjoy freely hopping around and drinking in an open space.
