Toyama Crafts and Whiskey Distillery Tour with Dinner

If the clang of metal sounds just as exciting as a clink of glasses, you'll love this tour of Toyama's local industries. Start the afternoon with a walkthrough of Nosaku, where some of the finest Takaoka copperware is made from special bending techniques. There, you'll try casting your own "guinomi" sake glass as a souvenir. Next, you will travel by taxi from the heat of forges to the Saburomaru Whiskey Distillery (participants are requested to make their own transportation arrangements to and from this venue). This is the only whiskey distillery in Hokuriku, a special treat for guests eager to discover Japanese whiskey's home turf. At the distillery, you'll enjoy a tasting of not only delicious whiskey, before heading to enjoy some of the region's finest seasonal cuisine at a local restaurant, Kamado flamme Tanzaburo. Get ready to raise a glass to a one-of-a-kind evening in Toyama!
