14th Jojima-go: Walking the Sake Road

About this event

Held in Jojima Town, a famed sake-brewing district celebrated by Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the annual event "14th Jojima-go: Walking the Sake Road" is a special 2-day period (November 21 and 28) where you can heartily relish town walking and fine sake as autumn deepens. Utilizing the free shuttle buses running from Nishitetsu Daizenji Station, you can tour historic sake breweries and local affiliated shops. At the event, purchasing a "Tasting Card & Tickets (set of 12 tickets for 2,000 yen)" at your first visited sake brewery allows you to enjoy up to 12 ochoko cups of local sake. Additional refill tickets (set of 6 tickets for 1,000 yen) can also be purchased. Furthermore, presenting the "Tasting Card" at affiliated stores lets you receive various perks. This year, "Mori no Kura" and "Takamamasamune" are participating for the first time. Because participating breweries differ by day, checking your target breweries beforehand and planning your visit is recommended. On Saturday, November 21, Tsukushi no Homare Brewery, Hiyokutsuru Brewery, and Takamamasamune will participate; on Saturday, November 28, Ikegame Brewery, Tsukushi no Homare Brewery, Hiyokutsuru Brewery, Mori no Kura, and Takamamasamune will participate. On the event days, the "Jojima Sake Brewery Story Special Exhibition" will be held concurrently, allowing you to deeply learn about the history and origins of Kurume as a "sake brewery town." Specialist guides will also provide explanations on-site, offering a chance to encounter the region's history and culture in addition to tasting sake.
