Participation in the 2018 Hong Kong Wine and Spirits Fair
Being one of the largest wine trade shows in Asia, the 11th edition of the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair has opened from 8th to 10th November, presenting the latest fine wines and premier alcoholic beverages from around the world. To let both local and international buyers taste the excellent quality of sake, Saketora took part this year, showcasing our two exclusive brands, “Jokigen” and “Senjo” with 10 items for free tasting. In collaboration with Senjo Brewery, we exhibited for the very first time their signature line, “Kuromatsu Senjo”, and the new playful line, “On a Night like this…”, which is a limited version in the domestic market. A new sake-based sparkling plum wine, which is scheduled to release next spring, was also unveiled at the event. With only three bottles available, it was extremely rare and we were lucky to be able to taste it before the official release.
Receiving huge support from both new and current members, we were so thankful and surprised that on the last day, all the tasting items were sold out 1 hour before the end of the event! Definitely, we promise we will continue to offer and showcase high quality sake to every one of you in the future! See you next year!
