Among the various regional product fairs held at department stores, the "Hokkaido Fair" is particularly popular.
From Wednesday, October 6 to Monday, October 18, Takashimaya's 190th Anniversary "68th Hokkaido Products and Tourism Grand Hokkaido Exhibition" will be held at Nihombashi Takashimaya S.C. (Main Venue: 8th Floor Event Hall, Sub Venues: 1st, 5th, and 7th Floors).
It has been 70 years since 1952, when Japan's first "Hokkaido Fair" was held at Osaka Takashimaya.
This time, "Hokkaido wines," which are drawing attention from wine connoisseurs both in Japan and abroad, will also make an appearance, making this an absolute must-see for Japanese wine fans.
Don't Miss the "Hokkaido Wine Tour"!
True to its name as the "68th Hokkaido Products and Tourism Grand Hokkaido Exhibition," this fair features a wide array of products and exhibits ranging from Hokkaido's food to its culture.
Among them, what wine fans should pay special attention to is the "Hokkaido Wine Tour."
It is a feature bringing together distinctive Japanese wine from diverse wineries across Hokkaido, showcasing an impressive lineup of unique Japanese wine from various Hokkaido wineries.
For example...
- Hirakawa Winery Immuable Blanc 2020 (White 750ml) 4,950 yen Takashimaya Exclusive
- Mongaku Valley Winery Mongaku Valley 2019 tochi (White 750ml) 4,620 yen Limited to 120 bottles *Limited to 1 bottle per person
You can encounter such exceptionally rare wines.
It is a precious opportunity that will make you feel you simply cannot afford to miss it.
Lottery Sales for That Special Wine!
In addition, lottery sales for rare wines, whiskies, gins, and more are scheduled at the 8th floor event hall.
While the lottery sale of "Single Malt Yoichi Limited Edition 2019," a vatting of malts from five different decades, is certainly attractive, what Japanese wine fans should focus on is the wine from Domaine Takahiko.
Amazingly, even "Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir 2018," known as a legendary phantom wine, will make an appearance.
With lottery sales planned for other rare wines, whiskies, and craft gins as well, this is truly a must-attend event for Japanese wine fans.

Furthermore, the "68th Hokkaido Products and Tourism Grand Hokkaido Exhibition" is packed with features to fully enjoy Hokkaido, such as special items using "salmon" and "potatoes," which can be considered the origins of the Hokkaido Fair, an "Archive Exhibition" looking back at the history of the Hokkaido Fair, displays of Ainu attire, and "Children's Chairs" crafted by workshops in Higashikawa Town.
Food, culture, wine, and spirits.
