28 breweries will get together from Ibaraki. Tasting on the “Yakatabune”.

This event is one of the most popular sake tasting event. This year is held on the “Yakatabune”.

A yakatabune cruise is an unforgettable way to experience traditional Japanese culture. With origins from Japan’s imperial families and members, these ornate pleasure boats give you a unique way to explore Tokyo’s scenic views around the Sumida River, while enjoying some of the finest tastes of Ibaraki and Edo style tempura, just as the Japanese have done for over a thousand years.

Ibaraki is blessed with rich nature and good water supply from five water sources such as the Kuji River system / the Naka River system / Mt. Tsukuba water system / the Kinu River system / the Tone River system.

Since Ibaraki has the most suitable water, rice and yeast for making sake, the number of sake breweries in the prefecture is 40, the largest in Kanto area as of June 2018. Each sake brewery produces its own wonderful sake, optimizing great nature of Ibaraki. How about finding good-taste sake that best suits your palate on the Yakatabune.
