In this event, visitors can choose three glasses of their favorite plum wine from among 15 varieties produced by Nakano BC, a sake brewery in Wakayama Prefecture, and bring them to each restaurant to enjoy them with food in a "hachi-zake" style. Each restaurant will prepare dishes that go well with plum wine, which can be enjoyed either in the restaurant or at a table set up in a common space for To go.
