Japanese food and beverage festivals in late 2026

In late 2026, Japan is scheduled to host several food and beverage festivals.
The National Umeshu Festival in Funabashi will take place at the Funabashi Racecourse in Chiba Prefecture on September 22, 23, 26, and 27. The event features over 120 varieties of plum wine (umeshu) from across the country, including options made with sake, shochu, brandy, citrus, and tea. Attendees can use a dedicated coin system called ‘Umesen’ for tastings. The festival includes special highlights such as ‘Dassai Umeshu’ lottery sales and collaborations with nearby shopping centers Lalaport TOKYO-BAY and Lalaport Terrace TOKYO-BAY.
Additionally, the ‘Hankyu Ishibashi Bar 2026 Autumn’ event is set to run from September 13 to October 25 in Ikeda City near the Hankyu Ishibashi Handai-mae Station. This month-long festival involves 85 establishments offering special menu items, with participants using a ‘Bar Card’ and a stamp rally to win prizes.
