The Ebisu Oishii SAKE Project (Secretariat: Xrossing Inc. and SAKEhub Inc.) will host "Oishii SAKE Walk in Ebisu-Daikanyama 2026" on Saturday, May 23, 2026. This city-walking event, set in the Ebisu and Daikanyama areas, invites participants to enjoy the harmony of exquisite sake and fine cuisine.
Since its inception in 2023, this event is now in its fourth year. In the previous participant survey, it achieved a record-high satisfaction rate of 93% (52% "Very Satisfied," 41% "Satisfied"). This year, the event has expanded significantly beyond initial plans to become the largest ever, featuring collaborations between 40 sake breweries from across Japan and 34 local spots, including restaurants, liquor stores, and special venues. We are pleased to announce the full lineup of participating breweries and venues.
■ What is "Oishii SAKE Walk"?
It is a city-walking event where "Brewers" (sake breweries), "Messengers" (restaurants, liquor stores, and staff who convey the appeal of sake), and "Drinkers" (participants) come together to savor fine sake and gourmet food from all over Japan.
Whether attending alone or with friends, participants can explore the city at their own pace. They can enjoy "pairing experiences" of signature sake and dishes at restaurants where brewers and staff are stationed, or enjoy sake tastings and comparisons at liquor stores and special venues. The event creates a vibrant space for interaction between brewers, shop owners, and participants, connecting the entire city through "Oishii SAKE" (delicious sake).
Our goal goes beyond a simple bar-hopping event. By rediscovering the charm of the area through city walking and encouraging the creation of regular customers for local restaurants, we aim to support the vitality of the entire neighborhood. From Ebisu and Daikanyama—the mecca of fine sake and food—we pass the baton of sake culture to the next generation and expand new social circles. From this city, we deliver the potential of sake to enrich dining tables worldwide.

■ The Three Joys of "Oishii SAKE Walk"
1. A Stunning Gathering of "40 Sake Breweries from Across Japan"
40 carefully selected "Brewers" from Tohoku to Kyushu will gather. You can experience the diverse appeal of Japanese sake, including breweries highly rated in domestic and international competitions such as [Oku], last year's favorite sake grand prix winner, [Rokkasan], [Kaiya], [Imanishiki], [Kunpei], [Kamikura], [Ryoku], [Gokyo], [Iyokagiya], and established powerhouses like [Gumma Izumi], [Chochin], [Shimeharitsuru], [Amanon]. Additionally, rare brands like [Aramasa] will appear in the "Akita's Famous Sake Selection" (Note: breweries do not participate from Akita).
2. "Ultimate Pairing" Proposed by Hard-to-Reserve Renowned Restaurants
Popular restaurants representing Ebisu and Daikanyama will participate, including "falò," a bonfire Italian restaurant selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand seven consecutive years, and hard-to-reserve famous establishments like "Sake Shujiro," "Bakushuan," "Kitaponshu," and last year's favorite restaurant grand prix winner, "Nagasaki Tempura Kouten." You can enjoy special menus and sake pairings prepared by each restaurant exclusively for this day.
3. Tasting Sales, Souvenirs to Toast at Home
