About the event
Join us for the opening of Cindy Bissig's photo exhibition 'Beyond Sake' as part of the international photography festival Kyotographie KG+ 2026. Get a first look at the work and share a toast with the photographer with sake by Tokubee Masuda Shoten.
From April 1 through April 30, 2026, Ace Hotel Kyoto’s Gallery will present an exhibition by Beyond Sake, a long-term photographic project by Japan-based sake professional and writer-photographer Cindy Bissig. The project documents craft communities through an intimate focus on sake breweries and the people who sustain them. By observing daily labor, shared environments, and the transmission of knowledge across generations, the work highlights the collective life behind sake production. Through this perspective, Beyond Sake offers insight into a living cultural practice that continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in Japanese tradition.
Reception Party : April. 1 (Wed) 6pm-8pm
