ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2024 Venue For the fourth consecutive year, the Japanese sake brand “SAKE HUNDRED” (operated by Clear Co., Ltd., Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Tatsuji Ikoma) will sponsor “ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2025” (hereinafter “AFAF2025”), which will be held at Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall B from Friday, September 26th to Sunday, September 28th, 2025. Their sparkling sake “Shinsei” will be served as a toast at the vernissage on Thursday, September 25th, as a welcome drink at the VIP View, and at the reception party. The sake brand “SAKE HUNDRED,” whose brand purpose is to “satisfy the hearts and add color to the lives” of people around the world, goes beyond mere beverages and proposes a lifestyle that contributes to the enrichment of people’s hearts. As part of this effort, the brand is actively involved in collaborations with art. This year marks the 10th anniversary of AFAF, and SAKE HUNDRED’s sponsorship of the event marks its fourth year. We decided to sponsor the event because we sympathize with AFAF’s efforts to promote the fusion of diverse cultures through art and to infuse the entire city of Fukuoka with art in collaboration with industry, government, and academia. “Shinsei” will be offered as a welcome drink to guests attending the VIP View on September 25th. It will also be served at the vernissage (※) and the reception party at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, allowing guests to enjoy a drink in an art-filled atmosphere.

They share a common thread: recognizing and expressing the added value of the story, background, and passion, and being exposed to these expressions allows for a richer enjoyment. SAKE HUNDRED will continue to strengthen its relationship with art, providing
opportunities to experience new “colors” to enjoy with sake, and further enhancing the value it provides as a brand that fulfills its brand purpose of “satisfying the hearts and adding color to the lives” of people around the world.

SAKE HUNDRED’s challenge is to create new value for sake, a traditional culture of which Japan is proud. I believe this is a common challenge that is also required of the Japanese art world. Japanese art deserves greater global recognition. With our power as Japanese people, we can raise the global value of Japanese art and revitalize the Japanese art market. We have been working toward this goal for the past 10 years. This is a shared goal not only of AFAF, but also of Japanese art fair organizers and the entire art industry. We are delighted and encouraged to be working alongside SAKE HUNDRED, who share the same goal. Opening the event with “Fukaboshi,” a sparkling sake with a refined, rich aroma and flavor, will elevate the experience for attendees. We will continue to strive for the success and growth of AFAF so that we can continue to serve even more delicious alcohol. We dream of one day seeing this sight all over the world.

AFAF connects Asia and Japan, providing a rare opportunity to encounter diverse values ​​and provide the experience of facing oneself through the artworks. While neither art nor alcohol are essential for survival, they have the power to broaden people’s thinking and enrich their lives. At SAKE HUNDRED, our active collaboration with art is a reflection of our desire to “bring happiness and abundance to people’s lives through art and alcohol.” Stay tuned to see what new encounters await us this year.
