3. Summray
This is the first whisky festival in Toyama Prefecture, and we hope you will be excited about it. The number of exhibitors is 12 booths, which seems small compared to other festivals, but if the festival is successful this year, the number of participating companies will probably increase every year.
Many whisky festivals have been held across the country this year. There are also more planned for later in the year. Whisky lovers are encouraged to visit the venues and taste the whisky while conversing directly with the brewers about their commitment.
