A new "Whey Category" has been added to recognize the growing importance of whey utilization. At the 9th Selection of 100 Distinguished Japanese Cheeses, you’ll have the chance to taste a curated selection of rare domestic cheeses and chat with the passionate cheesemakers themselves.

Explore the "Fun・Fan・Fun" Areas

This year’s theme, "The Appeal and Enjoyment of Domestic Cheeses from All Over Japan," comes to life through three distinct "Fun・Fan・Fun" areas. Explore a wide variety of cheeses, meet the artisans behind them, and discover new ways to enjoy these delicious creations.
