Crafting DASSAI Sake on the Moon Conversation & Sake Tasting

01/23/26

• 

• A peek behind the curtain of the DASSAI MOON Project. Explore the first step toward crafting sake on the moon. All attendees must be 21 or older.

  As we begin the new year, Japan Society looks to the future together with sake brewery DASSAI for a conversation on the DASSAI MOON Project—an initiative aimed at constructing the first-ever sake brewery on the moon. The project’s focus is to produce sake on the moon by 2050, and to achieve the historic feat, DASSAI recently carried out the world’s first sake fermentation in orbit inside the Japanese Experiment Module “Kibou” (Hope) aboard the International Space Station.

  Please join DASSAI Chairman Hiroshi Sakurai and DASSAI MOON Project Manager Soya Uetsuki for a conversation about their collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to conduct brewing experiments in orbit. They will discuss the technology behind the project and how DASSAI transformed this idea into reality to achieve a historic milestone for humanity. This talk will be followed by a reception and sake tasting featuring DASSAI BLUE freshly brewed in Hyde Park, NY.
