The Salon du Saké is indeed a tasting event but you’ll find also a great program of Conferences, Master Classes, workshops and panel discussions.

 

It is therefore not only an opportunity to meet many producers who come especially from Japan for the event, some of them visiting France or Europe for the first time, but also a chance to engage in many exchanges, experiments and debates.The program will offer a large number of conferences, workshops, Master Class and round tables. Thematic pairing-workshops will be held during the event. Each guest Chef will reveal their culinary creations and will be joined by the finest artisans, experts, sommeliers or journalists. Participants will be able to discover, together with the chefs and special guests, a custom made menu paired perfectly with the world’s most exceptional sakes.

 

In addition to the tasting workshops, which will be limited in number, there will be more casual “tasting experiments” taking place among the exhibitors, so that you can experience sake pairing in a fun and relaxed way. There will be several themes to the pairings each day. Local artisans and the sake producers themselves will be hosting these tastings.

 

The detailed program of conferences, workshops, master classes and events for the Salon du Saké 2025 is being progressively updated on this page. Please come back later to consult it and reserve your seats. You can already buy your entrance tickets for the fair and book specific events afterwards. However, we strongly recommend to book early for the pairing-workshops that are usually fully booked before the beginning of the Salon.

The Salon du Sake program for 2025 is in the process of being finalized. The full detailed program will be completed and translated soon.
