About this event
The 5th Yamaga Distillery Festival 2026 will be held at Yamaga Distillery in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture. On the day of the event, visitors can enjoy a Yamaga Toro Odori dance stage, a talk show with lantern artisans, as well as food, drink, and merchandise stalls. Limited sales of popular single malt Japanese whiskies will take place, including Yamaga Distillery's first heavily peated whisky, 'Yamaga Distillery Limited Cask BB232.' In addition to tastings and sales of whisky, masterclasses and mini guided tours led by distillery staff are scheduled, making it a day to thoroughly enjoy the appeal of Yamaga's traditional culture and whisky. Original cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails created by representative Kumamoto bartenders will be served alongside foods from local eateries. A portion of the day's whisky sales will be donated toward reconstruction efforts for the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquakes. It is an event where you can experience the charms of Yamaga with family and friends.
