《Special Tasting Seminar》･･･2 frames

We will use a small room on the first floor of the venue instead of the second floor to hold a rare and special one-time seminar that cannot be held with a large number of people! This is also our first small group project, so please apply early!

Sales start from [April 9th (Tuesday)]

“Stall Bar” class… 6 classes from 3 companies

New axis project from this time! As we watched the boom in whiskey festivals that were being revived or created all over the country after the coronavirus pandemic, we thought we should include something with a local flavor. What is the unique content that Fukuoka/Hakata should promote among the 47 prefectures?
That's a "stall"!
We actually set up food stalls at the venue. 16 people will be customers at the stall at a time.
This is a special project where you can talk with the old man at the stall or the guy/girlfriend who transforms into a mom! Stay tuned until the day of the event to see what comes out! There will be a total of 6 sessions, 2 sessions each (45 minutes each) by 3 participants.
This will also go on sale from [April 9th (Tuesday)].
Please do not miss it.

Talk Session／17:00〜17:50

The final part of the event will be a "Whisky Talk Session" (free of charge) by eleven people who are the faces of the whisky industry in Japan!
This so-called "panel discussion" will be held without tables in the seminar space, so everyone is welcome to attend.
This is the reason why Whisky Talk Fukuoka is called "Talk"!
Please do not miss it.
