3.Finally
JAL international in-flight Whisky sales have reached the 8th stage, and we hope that more and more people overseas will have the opportunity to learn about Japanese Whisky.
I am personally interested in Napa Valley whisky, which is rarely seen in Japan.
Although it is off Golden Week, if you have a chance to go abroad, please aim for it.
