The total number of visitors was approximately 14,500!

The Tokyo International Bar Show 2024 was held on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12, and both days were surprisingly sunny!

The bar show was even more crowded than usual because it was a perfect day to go out!

(It could have been crowded even if it rained!)

The venue exceeded its capacity, so much so that admission was restricted in the afternoon on both days!

The total number of visitors was about 14,500 for the two days.

Even in a venue so overflowing with people that it was a bit difficult to cover the event, the Suntory booth was particularly crowded with people standing in line.

This year, the company collaborated with the critically acclaimed anime "Bartender: The Glass of God" to create a complete recreation of "Eden Hall," the bar where the main character, Ryu Sasakura, works!

A total of 17 bartenders, all of whom have won Suntory's cocktail awards in the past, were on hand (six at the counter at any given time in shifts!). ), serving a variety of classic cocktails that are also featured in the anime "Bartender.

The booth was completely closed to the public, making it feel like a real authentic bar.

The booth was completely closed to the public, so there was always a huge line of people waiting 30 minutes or more to get in.
