Once the Sake Fair wraps up, it’s time for the Shochu Fest!
Honkaku Shochu and Awamori & Gourmet Food Festival 2026 is held on July 25 and 26 at the Mizuho PayPay Dome Baseball Stadium in Fukuoka, Kyushu.
75 distillers’ booth, along with 3 distillers’ associations from Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Oita Prefectures, are exhibiting over 600 varieties of honkaku shochu, awamori, and liqueurs—such as “ume-shu” made from these spirits.
We also have gourmet foods in 18 food trucks from all over Japan.
Now in its fourth year, this event—held indoors at the cool dome stadium to escape the hot summer sun—attracts over 8,000 visitors.
