Calling all gin fans: you’d want to make a beeline for Tokyo’s biggest gin festival happening on the third weekend in October. With a picturesque canal-side location along Tennozu Isle, this spirited festival at Warehouse Terrada offers tastings of over 100 brands and 250 types of gin from Japan and abroad.
Here you'll also find a cocktail bar, merchandise (check out the event’s exclusive T-shirt, ‘We're all connected by Juniper’), and plenty of food to balance out the drinking. Tastings come in 5 to 10ml pours, and if you find a gin that you fancy, you can purchase it at the onsite bottleshop.
For this festival, you'll need to first purchase the starter pack for ¥2,200, which comes with five tasting tickets, one gin and tonic as well as the admission pass. Additional tasting tickets are avaiable in sets of 10 at ¥1,100 while gin and tonic is priced at ¥770 per cup.
