The 21st Oku Memorial Trophy
24th November 2024
On the 24th November, an annual rugby match was held at the Richmond Athletic Field organised by late Oku Ambassador’s best friend, Reg Clark. The ambassador Suzuki and supporters came to cheer the players on the field. In the afternoon, the international rugby match between Japan and England was held at Twickenham Stadium attended by 80,000 fans, making for an electric and exciting atmosphere. After the match, a sake reception was held at the Rugby Museum, courtesy of Rhino and Sake Samurai. Since 2019 RWC in England, sake has become increasingly popular amongst rugby fans.
In 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup will be held in England. With the help of Kie Tamai, who competes as a professional rugby player here, we will continue promoting sake for rugby fans.
