Thank-You for Making Sake Fest '24 a Success!
Sake Fest '24, organized by the Sake Association of British Columbia, was held at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel by APA on the 23rd of October 2024, marking its return after a six-year hiatus. We would like to thank our Media Partners, the radio station Vancouver 102 and Lara Victoria, founder and Director of Cru Classe Hospitality Corp.
The event featured a trade session for industry professionals in the afternoon, from 1:00PM to 4:00PM for restaurant licensees, BC Government liquor store and private liquor store buyers and employees to sample our product line-up and ask questions. Principals and sake brewers from Japan, Canada and the US were on-hand during the trade portion of the show to provide in-depth information and feedback. In the evening, we held a consumer tasting, where everyone got a chance to sample various sakes from Canada, Japan and the United States. Please check out the links above if you want t find out more about their various sake offerings. The event was a great success, highlighted by guest speeches from the Consul General of the Consulate-General of Japan in Vancouver, a traditional Kagamibiraki ceremony, and an energetic Japanese drumming performance. Attendees were thrilled to have the unique chance to sample a wide variety of Japanese sake products all in one place. We sincerely thank all those who attended and encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback with us at any time.
