HIGHLIGHTS
Event highlights
Discover doburoku and local performances
Doburoku, a local specialty of Mihara Village, is at the heart of the festival. The program includes complimentary servings and a speed-drinking contest, offering both a chance to sample the new sake and a competition to watch. Whether you’re visiting for the doburoku or interested in the contest, you can find something to enjoy among the festival’s events.
There’s more than sake-related entertainment. Local cultural groups and students will present traditional performing arts, alongside a calligraphy performance and displays of paintings and other works. With both stage performances and exhibitions, the festival offers a different way to experience local culture beyond sampling doburoku.
Sales of local products and market stalls are also planned. Browse the stalls between performances and exhibitions to add food and shopping to your festival experience. The organizers’ stated aims are to revitalize the area by attracting more visitors and to preserve and pass on the village’s doburoku culture. The mix of sake, performing arts, calligraphy, art and local products offers a chance to learn more about these goals.
Free samples and a mochi toss
In addition to local products for sale, free puffed rice is also announced. The information does not list the products or prices, so what’s on offer will be a surprise on the day.
