About the 2027 sakazuki
The sakazuki design isn't final yet, so it isn't on sale. Once it's set, we'll email everyone who has a ticket and offer it as an add-on.

Demos, Talks & Experiences
Expert demos, regional representatives, speakers & immersive experiences allow exploration beyond flavor: history, culture, food & more.
Kanzake with Okan Lover
From Tokyo-based okan (warm sake) restaurant Takasaki no Okan, Okan Lover is a project spreading the joy of sake through okan. At the OKAN LOVERS BAR, seated guests will experience a lineup of different styles of hot sake, techniques, methods, and styles, with the opportunity to ask questions and dive deeper.
Breakaway Sessions
Guests interested in diving deeper can pull away from the crowd and enter our breakaway classroom, where highly limited tastings and classes will take place on a first-come, first-served basis. More info coming soon.
Shop Local Art & Ceramics
Shop from a collection of local artists, including commemorative sakazuki artists Michelle Sparnicht (2023), Dwayne Sackey (2025), Maria Enomoto (2026) and more.
Coffee Ma 間
Our good friends and resident Sunflower popup Slow Bar Ma 間 will be sharing coffee, tea and matcha with a selection of special beans and teas from within our wonderful Portland Sunflower community. Take an afternoon break and enjoy your N/A sip in the quiet of our back nook, behind Okan Lover.
Room to Wander
One of the big areas of feedback from 2026 was: "this is great, but...the tasting area is too crowded" I hear you! This year we're moving the food to a tent outside to make more room for the sake tasting area! Stay tuned for more details.
