Southeast Net Japan, December 5 (Special Reporter Harada Yumi) Drinking and talking happily is a great joy in life!The cylindrical wine bottle pours ** liquor, and the round mouth wine glass retains the rich aroma of the wine. Recently, the Japan Whisky Culture Research Institute held a unique whisky tasting event at the Sumitomo Real Estate Shinjuku Garden Tower Event Hall in Takadanobaba, Tokyo.
This is the largest wine tasting event in Asia and Japan, and I was invited to taste and record this event on the spot. The tasting is divided into two sessions: morning and afternoon. Each show is limited to 1,200 people, and the entrance fee is 4,400 yen (about 214 yuan) per person

This tasting commemorates the 100th anniversary of the establishment of five whisky manufacturers in Japan, and brings together Japanese whisky lovers to talk about the future of Japanese whisky. The five companies that have entered the 100th anniversary are Kirin Beer, Suntory, Nikka Whisky, Startup Whisky, and Honshu Brewing. Each of these companies arranged for winemakers to communicate with wine lovers on site.

On that day, when I walked into the conference hall, I could see a crowd of people who wanted to taste it in front of the full restaurant. A total of 90 whisky restaurants from Japan and overseas participated in the conference. The conference was held for two days, which not only collected both people and money, but also cultivated potential customers for the development of new markets in the future.
The venue was crowded. (*Yumi Harada).
