**JFOODO Launches “Catch the SAKE Breeze” Campaign in Miami Celebrating Japanese Sake Throughout October 2025**
*MIAMI, Sept. 30, 2025* — The Japan Food Product Overseas Promotion Center (JFOODO), established by the Government of Japan, is thrilled to announce the launch of **”Catch the SAKE Breeze,”** a month-long campaign in Miami running from October 1st to 31st, 2025. Coinciding with World Sake Day on October 1st, this initiative aims to introduce Miamians to the refreshing taste and distinctive, versatile flavors of Japanese sake.
Under the tagline *”Catch the SAKE Breeze,”* the campaign celebrates the refreshing qualities of sake by partnering with six of Miami’s top restaurants. Each participating venue will showcase specially curated menus featuring sake flights, innovative cocktails, and expert pairings alongside Japanese and Japanese-fusion dishes, creating unique experiences perfect for sharing with friends, family, and close companions.
**Expanding the Sake Experience in Miami**
“While Japanese cuisine has become widely available across Miami, opportunities to experience authentic Japanese sake remain limited,” said Taiki Sawabe, Director of JFOODO Los Angeles. “Japanese sake is far more than just hot sake — it offers a wide variety of ways to be enjoyed. By collaborating with six outstanding restaurants throughout the city, we aim to create new occasions for Miamians to taste and appreciate the refreshing and versatile nature of sake. October is the perfect month to celebrate Japanese food and drink.”
