Yodobashi Umeda Sake Festival (5th) 2026

Why You Should Visit

A free sake tasting-and-sales fair in the B2 hall of Yodobashi Umeda, gathering 27 breweries from across Japan — now in its fifth edition. Walk the brewery booths, compare pours and buy a bottle on the spot. The venue is indoors and connected to Osaka/Umeda station, so it works as a weather-proof stop during a shopping run. ID is checked at the entrance and no alcohol is sold to anyone under 20.
