CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2026 Unveils Full Restaurant Lineup: From Three-Star Fine Dining to Ramen

All 20 restaurants for CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2026 have been announced. The 13-day sake event at Roppongi Hills Arena in Tokyo (April 17–29) will feature everything from Michelin three-star establishments to ramen and gyoza joints — an unusually wide range for a single food event.

This follows the earlier announcement of 130 participating breweries and daily rotating themes. The restaurant lineup is organized into four periods, each with its own concept.

Period 1 (Apr 17–20): "Restaurants Chefs Love"

Five restaurants including ess., Kuriya Nanadaime Matsugoro, UBU, Yoshiharu, and Ramen Break Beats. Yes, there's a ramen shop in the mix — a pairing with sake that's more natural than it might sound.

Period 2 (Apr 21–25): "The Secret Ingredient Behind Washoku"

This is the most creative segment. Each restaurant is paired with a heritage food producer in a collaboration format:

Yamamotoyama × Fujie Sabo
SIIDA® × Ken
Maruya Hatcho Miso × Okutemura Yamamoto-ya
Tanoya Enjiro × Yanosuke
Sakata Nobuo Shoten × Hohei

Yamamotoyama brings nori (seaweed), Maruya brings hatcho miso from Okazaki, Tanoya Enjiro offers sun-dried salt from Kochi, and Sakata Nobuo Shoten specializes in ginger. Each producer's ingredient anchors the restaurant's dishes for the five-day run.

Period 3 (Apr 26–28): "A Decade of Memorable Plates"

La BOMBANCE, Schmatz, CHEF'S, Nakameguro Wakasa, and Yakiniku Jumbo Hanare. For the 10th anniversary edition, this period brings back restaurants that have defined past CRAFT SAKE WEEK events. The combination of La BOMBANCE's French-Japanese cooking, Schmatz's German craft beer heritage, and Yakiniku Jumbo's legendary grilled meat makes for an eclectic three days.

Period 4 (Apr 29): "Master Craftsmen"

The final day pulls out all the stops: TACUBO (woodfire Italian), L'Effervescence (three Michelin stars, French), Team Ishikawa (three Michelin stars, Japanese), Torishiki ICHIMON (the famously hard-to-book yakitori house), and Fureika (Shanghai-Cantonese). This is also the day when the brewery lineup centers on Juyondai — one of Japan's most coveted sake brands — so both the food and the sake peak on the same day.

Tickets and Pricing

A starter set (original sake glass + 14 food/drink coins) costs ¥4,800. Additional coins: 12 for ¥2,000, 25 for ¥4,100, 45 for ¥7,300, or 100 for ¥16,000 — buying in bulk lowers the per-coin price.

Hours are 3:00–10:00 PM on weekdays (last order 9:30 PM) and 12:00–9:00 PM on weekends and holidays (last order 8:30 PM).
