Mutsu Hashigo Sake Rally in Tanabu 2016

Mutsu Hashigo* Sake Rally in Tanabu 2016
むつ走五酒ラリーin田名部 

An event where participants must go to five different establishments and finish a drink there in order to collect stamps. Participants who fill their stamp card within the time limit are eligible to participate in a prize draw. The grand prize is a 2-night & 3-day trip for two to South Korea.

(*The name is a pun. "Hashigozake" is usually written with the kanji for "ladder" + "alcohol" (梯子酒 ) and means to go around to various places drinking (bar hopping). This event name, however,  combines the characters for "run" and "five" reflecting the nature of the event--running around and trying "sake" (alcohol) at five different places.)
