The first ever "Super Highball Festival" will be held in front of the Bentenmon Gate at Ueno Zoo in Ueno Onshi Park!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Boilermaker is known for the movie "A River Runs Through It."
