They also offer tastings of award-winning spirits and serve the winning cocktail from the cocktail competition.

The venue will also offer various Japanese gourmet foods such as yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and ramen noodles, as well as attractions like guessing the ingredients of shochu for prizes, making it an enjoyable event for the whole family.

Held in Fukuoka, a city gaining attention in Asia, during the famous Hakata Gion Yamagasa Festival, this grand event at Japan's largest dome stadium featuring Honkaku Shochu, Awamori, and gourmet food is highly recommended for your travel plans.
