Did you know that Hachioji has a remarkably rich food culture?
There is an event called "Saint-Vincent Hachioji" where participants visit participating restaurants and bars across the city, tasting wine while savoring the unique appeal of each establishment and the town itself.
In France's Burgundy region, there is a festival called "SAINT-VINCENT TOURNANTE" to pray for a bountiful wine harvest;
every year, tens of thousands of visitors flock to a wine-producing village with a population of only several hundred, wandering through the village and creating tremendous excitement.
Driven by the desire among restaurant peers in Hachioji to create that same kind of vibrant energy in their city, "Saint-Vincent Hachioji" was born in 2013.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event could not be held for a long time, but it finally made a comeback last year.
Let's take a look at the details to see what kind of event will take place this time.
