On July 15 (Sat.) and 16 (Sun.), 2023, a sake tasting event will be held by Sake World, a media site for enjoying Japanese sake operated by Leaf, at the Nishikikoji-dori side of the Daimaru Kyoto Store, which falls on the Yoiyama and Yoiyama days of the Gion Festival.

The tasting will feature 30 brands of sake suitable for summer from about 20 sake breweries, mainly from Kyoto and Shiga. Other offerings include sake frozen in an instant-quick freezer and frozen sake. ［Sake World's editorial staff has carefully selected sake for you to sample for as little as 300 yen per glass, so we recommend that you compare sake from the breweries you are interested in. Enjoy a glass of chilled sake with the Gion Festival!
