[Hanshin Umeda Main Store] 'Hot Dogs x French Wine' and 'Mazesoba x Australian Wine'!? 8 Days to Encounter Unprecedented Pairings

"The 57th Hanshin Great Wine Festival" ■ Hanshin Umeda Main Store, 8th Floor Event Space ■ April 29 (Wed/Holiday) - May 6 (Wed/Holiday) 8 days <*Closes at 5:00 PM on the last day> ■ Official HP: https://web.hh-online.jp/hanshin/contents/saiji/wine/ The famous Hanshin Department Store event, the "Hanshin Great Wine Festival" is here! For this 57th edition, we propose cross-border pairings such as German street food "Hot Dogs" x "French Red Wine" and "Mazesoba" using Italian ingredients x "Australian Red Wine." Not only can you taste cross-border dishes as if you were traveling while staying in the department store, but there is also the excitement of discovering new favorite wines and dishes. Driven by inflation, soaring crude oil prices due to rising geopolitical risks, and port congestion following blockades in the Strait of Hormuz, the situation forcing wine price hikes continues. Even in such times, out of our desire for everyone to "experience the charm of wine," we have set up an "Affordable Wine" booth where you can purchase wines at 30% to 50% off market prices, and a "Free Tasting" booth with about 400 brands across 20 booths. At the "Premium Tasting (Reservation Required/Paid)" booth, you can also taste "slightly better" booth-exclusive wines, including bottles priced over 10,000 yen. Please come and cover the lined-up wines and the enthusiasm of the venue! Like traveling!?
