#SupportSAKE Photo Campaign

A photo campaign awards ceremony for the best Instagram posts about Japanese sake was held on December 2 in Hollywood.

This photo campaign was organized by #SupportSAKE, an organization promoting Japanese sake in the U.S. Under the theme “Sake Moments,” they invited photo submissions this fall.
On this day, an awards presentation event was held, inviting campaign participants and influencers to celebrate the winning entries.

#SupportSAKE is an initiative by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to support sake breweries facing a shrinking domestic market.
It aims to connect Japanese sake fans in the U.S. through social media and build a community.

Japanese and American sake producers, distributors, and restaurants are also participating as supporters.
At the event, participants had the opportunity to enjoy tasting a variety of sake.

At the ceremony, a status report was presented on the sake breweries in Ishikawa Prefecture affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1 of this year.
Additionally, the winner of last year’s photo contest shared a report on their tour of sake breweries.

The awards were then announced, with the grand prize winner receiving a round ticket to Japan as their prize.
