[Super Highball Festival in Ueno Park] Held for the first time in front of Ueno Zoo’s Bentenmon Gate!

The first ever "Super Highball Festival" will be held in front of the Bentenmon Gate at Ueno Zoo in Ueno Onshi Park!

In Japan, whiskey mixed with carbonated water is generally called a "highball," but originally the term referred to the general style of mixing your favorite alcoholic beverage with carbonated water.
The "Super Highball Festival" is a festival that goes beyond Japan's unique highball culture and the free highball style of other countries to enjoy a variety of carbonated drinks.
