2024 Australian Sake Festival: Support Activities for the Aomori Prefectural Government (28 & 29 Sep)

The 2024 Australian Sake Festival, an event where visitors can enjoy tasting various different types of Japanese alcoholic beverages, including sake, shochu, and fruit wine, and try local Japanese foods as well as initiate business negotiations, was held in Sydney over two days on 28 and 29 September 2024. CLAIR Sydney was invited by the Aomori Prefectural Government to provide support at the booth they ran at the event.

This event, now in its third year, attracted approximately 8,000 visitors over the two days, highlighting the strong interest in Japanese sake and food products in Sydney. Aomori Prefecture participated for the first time, offering several types of sake, along with two varieties of Aomori-grown rice, and scallop tastings, which drew many visitors to the booth.

At the booth, the features of Aomori’s sake and rice were carefully explained to the visitors, successfully promoting the appeal of the prefecture. The Aomori products provided were well received by many attendees, and the tasting area remained lively throughout the event.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the promotion of Japanese local governments in Australia.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
