To express our gratitude for your continued patronage, Hombo Shuzo Co., Ltd. Mars Tsunuki Distillery will be holding the “Tsunuki Distillery Festival 2025”.

On the day of the event, you can experience the passion and dedication to sake brewing that is unique to Hombo Shuzo. This includes a tour of “Tsunuki Kishogura,” our distillery for traditional handmade kame (jar) shochu led by the Shochu Toji (Master Brewer); a spirits & liqueur seminar by the development manager; and a whisky tasting seminar by the distillery and production staff.

Stage events will also be held, and gourmet food stalls (paid) will be set up with the cooperation of local restaurants so you can enjoy meals along with delicious alcoholic beverages. We will also be accepting lottery entries for a commemorative bottle (limited quantity). This event can be enjoyed by both those who drink alcohol and those who do not, so please come and join us.
