Hombo Shuzo Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the “Tsunuki Distillery Festival 2024” at Mars Tsunuki Distillery to express our gratitude for your continued support.

On the day of the event, visitors can experience Hombo Shuzo’s passion and dedication to sake brewing through a whisky seminar by our distillery production staff and a tour of “Tsunuki Kishogura,” the stone warehouse for hand-made jar-aged shochu, led by a shochu Master Brewer (Toji).

There will be stage events, and food stalls (paid) set up with the cooperation of local restaurants so you can enjoy delicious food with your drinks. We will also accept lottery applications for the commemorative bottle (limited quantity). Whether you drink alcohol or not, there is something for everyone, so please bring your friends and family.
