Want to explore Japanese sake without committing to a full bottle? Fukutoku no Mori Sake Festival — morinomi9 (福徳の森 日本酒祭｜morinomi9) brings 20 breweries to Nihonbashi, Tokyo, on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 15:00 to 19:00. An advance ticket costs ¥4,500 and includes all-you-can-drink sake and an ochoko tasting cup.
There is also a lighter way to join in: the adjoining sake bar and food market open at noon and do not require the festival’s drinking ticket. Buy a single cup, browse the food stalls, or settle in for the main tasting session later in the afternoon.
Tickets and event details
The main tasting takes place at Fukutoku no Mori, the plaza beside Fukutoku Shrine. Events also spill over into COREDO Muromachi Nakadori. The key distinction is between the ticketed sake tasting from 15:00 and the pay-as-you-go bar and market from 12:00.

Sake by the glass and the food market
You do not need an all-you-can-drink ticket to visit the Nihonshu Sukima Bar (日本酒隙間バル) or the Nihonbashi Otsumami Market (日本橋おつまみ市). Both run along COREDO Muromachi Nakadori from 12:00 to 19:00, with purchases paid for individually.
A single cup costs ¥500
The Sukima Bar sells sake selected by Shinkawaya Sasaki Saketen (新川屋佐々木酒店) for ¥500 per cup, approximately 150 ml. Its selection also includes sake from breweries outside the main festival’s 20 participants.
For ticket holders, the arrangement changes at 15:00: the bar’s sake becomes part of the all-you-can-drink offering until 19:00, subject to the scheduled serving breaks.
Browse food stalls between tastings
The food market brings together shops and restaurants from Nihonbashi and beyond, with snacks, food and other goods for sale. It gives mixed groups a way to enjoy the afternoon without everyone buying a tasting ticket.
The photos offer a feel for the food stalls; use the official festival information when checking what is planned for this edition.
DJ music and serving breaks
DJs, mainly drawn from people active in the local area, provide the music. Alongside the tasting booths and food stalls, that makes this an afternoon for lingering rather than simply working through a list of bottles.
Two breaks are built into the session to help prevent excessive drinking. All-you-can-drink service pauses at both the brewery booths and the Sukima Bar during these times:
- 16:30–16:45
- 18:00–18:15
Use those pauses to have some water, eat and take a rest.
