Sake Brewery Future Hackathon to be Held in Ikebukuro

On October 17, 2026, a hackathon themed "Connecting Sake Breweries to the Future" will take place in Ikebukuro.

Participants will explore solutions to challenges faced by sake breweries from various perspectives.

Exploring New Approaches to Tradition Succession

In the traditional craft of sake brewing, the succession of techniques and culture is paramount.

This hackathon will bring together teams to address specific problems confronting breweries through digital technology and business model innovation. Innovative ideas looking towards the future are highly anticipated.
