About Hina Doll Festival
March 3rd marks the celebration of girls known as “Hina Matsuri” (雛祭り＝ひなまつり). Families typically display a set of hina dolls from mid-February until March 3rd.
Every year, Tanaka Sake Brewery hosts the Hina Doll Festival (ひなまつり).
It’s common for a hina doll set to be inherited from the mother or family. In cases where a family has their first daughter, grandparents often joyfully purchase a brand-new Ohinasama set for their beloved grandchild.
Tanaka Sake Brewery showcases numerous hina dolls that were previously stored in homes where daughters grew up but were not displayed. Some intricately crafted hina dolls can be quite expensive, often exceeding 200,000 yen. Rather than discarding them, families opt to donate them to public facilities such as children’s halls or companies dedicated to preserving Japanese traditional culture. Tanaka Sake Brewery is among these contributors.
During the festival, Tanaka Sake Brewery hosts various events and offers special sake. Why not visit and experience this traditional Japanese festival firsthand?
