CHOPSTICKS AND WINE 2016

CHOPSTICKS AND WINE

HONOLULU CONVENTION CENTER

Chopsticks and Wine is an annual event put on by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.  Basically you pay $150 for 2.5 hours of drinking and eating.  Food and wines are both good.  I try to get in right when the doors open so I can hit the food tables before the crowds.  I was only able to hit about 1/3 of the food tables this year which bummed me out.  We were either too busy drinking or did not want to wait in the long lines.  Great event that I wish was about 1.5 hours longer.

FOR $150 YOU CAN GRAB A GLASS AND EAT/DRINK FOR 2.5 HOURS
