Hong Kong Washu Awards

香港和酒大賞

Mission

Japanese Sake has been a growing beverage category in Hong Kong in the past 5 years. The awareness and numbers of Japanese restaurants in all price tiers have been growing in Hong Kong.
One of the core missions of Miss SAKE Hong Kong is to promote Japanese Sake and Japanese Culture in Hong Kong. At the same time, it is our responsibility to celebrate and promote the significant contribution of Female Professionals in the Food & Beverage industry from both Hong Kong and Japan. We see there is a demand for this award in the market, conducted by only Female Judges, with a combination of both F&B professionals, Miss Sake Hong Kong, as well as Female Consumers.
