Seattle Cherry Blossom Festival

Hyogo Tourism and Sake Sampling

From Friday, April 8th to Sunday, April 10th, the HBCC provided not one, but two booths at the Seattle Cherry Blossom Festival!

At one booth, we shared information regarding travel to Hyogo Prefecture and the Kansai region. We displayed our new Himeji Castle backdrop for the first time, and had a number of appearances from Habatan. We also gave out coloring pages of Himeji Castle.

At our other booth, we provided 21+ attendees with samples of five sake, four of which are produced in Hyogo Prefecture. The fifth one was a local sake from Ballard, Seattle. Information about these five sake can be found here.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
