Bookings will be available through the official HYPER JAPAN ONLINE 2021 website, and updates will be regularly posted via our newsletter and social media. I attended the immersive event back in 2019, which was amazing.
The World of Sake
Among the many exhibitions planned for this HYPER JAPAN ONLINE 2021, we’re particularly excited about a few, such as The World of Sake. Throughout this ongoing event, online guests will be able to learn all about Japan’s iconic drink. The “Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association” as well as the “London Sake” online shop will be closely involved, as will the Japanese breweries “Dassai”, “Shirakabegura”, “Gekkeikan”, and “Ozeki”. You’ll be able to pre-purchase tasting boxes from these creators of high-quality sake for our first-ever online “Sake Experience”!
Authentic Wagyu beef direct from Japan
We’re also looking forward to welcoming “Zen-Noh International Europe” to this year’s online event. A leading exporter of domestic Japanese agricultural and livestock products, “Zen-Noh International Europe” will be taking charge of a cook-along party! The key ingredient will be world-famous wagyu beef, which participants will use to create a superb Wagyu Beef bowl.
Start Your Japanese Cooking Adventure with YutakaIn. Excellent news for Japan-inspired chefs, both experts and beginners. Popular Japanese food brand “Yutaka” will present a range of products and recipes with a virtual cooking stand.
A successful link between the UK and authentic Japanese cuisine for more than 25 years, Yutaka offers a perfect chance to pick up vital ingredients. Bring Japanese cooking home, equipped with its sushi ingredients, Katsu curry, miso, wasabi, soy sauce, or any of the varied ingredients and foods Yutaka provides! Even more to experience. The team is working hard to bring all the energy of HYPER JAPAN Festival to the online world, and this year we have the chance to make connections like never before.
