The Kansai Consular Corps recently had the pleasure of participating in the KCC Sake Brewery Tour in Wakayama on Friday, 29th November 2024. This special event, sponsored by the Osaka Tax Bureau, aimed to promote Japanese sake to the world and support the growth of its export market.
During the tour, we:
- Observed the intricate process of sake production.
- Experienced the art of plum wine making and enjoyed sake tasting, showcasing Wakayama’s position as Japan’s largest producer of Japanese plums (ume).
- Made a courtesy visit to Wakayama City Hall, where we had the honor of meeting the Vice-Mayor and learning about Wakayama’s key industries.
This tour was an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow members of the Kansai Consular Corps and to experience Wakayama’s rich culture and industry. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Osaka Tax Bureau and Wakayama Prefecture for organizing this meaningful and enriching event.
