If you’re a fan of umeshu – the sweet and tangy Japanese liqueur made by infusing ume plums in shochu or sake – this boozy festival deserves a spot on your calendar. Visitors will be able to sample more than 120 varieties of umeshu from across Japan, including winners of the 2025 National Umeshu Tasting competition.
Alongside classic styles, expect unfiltered and long-aged umeshu, versions infused with spirits like gin and brandy, and even refreshing umeshu-beer blends.
Tickets cost ¥1,900 with 19 tokens at the door or 21 tokens if purchased in advance online. These physical umesen tokens can be used to redeem drinks and food at the venue.
