Jun Iida will perform at Kato Sake Works in Kings County, United States on July 3, 2026. Iida is a Japanese-born, Brooklyn-based percussionist and composer known for integrating traditional Japanese instruments – particularly the *taiko* drum – with elements of jazz, experimental music, and electronic soundscapes. His compositions often explore themes of cultural identity and the intersection of ancient and modern musical practices. He frequently utilizes extended techniques and improvisation within structured arrangements.

Kato Sake Works is a small-batch sake brewery located in Brooklyn, New York. Founded by Shinobu Kato in 2017, the brewery focuses on producing traditionally crafted sake using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, specifically New York State grown rice. Kato Sake Works distinguishes itself through a commitment to *junmai* sake production – meaning pure rice sake without the addition of distilled alcohol – and employs traditional brewing methods while incorporating modern techniques. The space functions both as a production facility and a tasting room offering direct-to-consumer sales and educational experiences relating to sake brewing and Japanese culture. The venue has increasingly hosted intimate performances featuring artists across diverse genres.
