Kampai Toronto 2023, Canada’s largest sake festival!
Event Description
We welcome all sake beginners, enthusiasts & experts. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet brewers, engage with sake agents and sake professionals and taste a wide selection of sakes which are often not easily accessible to the general public.
Experience over 200 sakes from 50 breweries at this one of a kind event, held again at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC).
The JCCC is one of the largest Japanese cultural institutions in the world and a pillar of the Japanese Canadian community, offering a perfect setting to experience the extensive history, boundless culture and impressive legacy of sake, a beverage which continues to evolve and innovate over centuries to this day.
