Why You Should Visit

Liquor Mountain, the Kyoto-based liquor store chain, has long run a trade show for bars and restaurants. This year it renames the show Shuen LIQUOR FESTIVAL and opens it to the general public for one weekday only. The venue is Hotel Granvia Kyoto, inside the JR Kyoto Station building. The exhibitor list runs to 92 companies, from sake breweries to makers of shochu, wine, spirits and beer. You can compare craft beers from around Japan, pour your own glass from a professional beer server, and buy bottles at show-only prices — a good fit if you like to taste before you pick a bottle to take home.

FAQ

Do I need ID to get in?

Ages may be checked at the entrance, so bring something that shows your age, such as a driving licence.

Can I leave and come back in?

After your ticket is checked at reception you are given a wristband, and you can come and go within the ticket's time. Without the wristband you cannot re-enter, and it will not be reissued.

Is there a dress code?

Because it is held inside a hotel, the organiser asks guests to avoid very revealing clothes and casual wear such as shorts and sandals.
