On June 11, 2025, the newly opened Ireland House Tokyo welcomed industry professionals for the Irish Whiskey Festival 2025, hosted by Bord Bia (The Irish Food Board). Eleven uniquely characterful Irish whiskey brands traveled from Ireland to connect with Japanese importers, distributors, chefs, and media in a lively and refined tasting event.
We at LIFE.14 had the honor of documenting the day as the official photography team. With warm lighting and polished wooden interiors, the venue provided an ideal backdrop to quietly capture the rich human interactions: brand representatives speaking passionately across small tables, guests savoring aromas with focused curiosity, and spontaneous moments of laughter over shared drams.
The festival reflected a remarkable growth story: In 2024 alone, Irish whiskey exports to Japan reached €5.36 million, up 508% over the past decade. Japan’s discerning consumers and influence on global trends make it a key market for Irish spirits, as emphasized by Joe Moore, Japan Manager of Bord Bia, during his opening remarks.
We’re proud to share that our photographs from the event were selected and featured in Bord Bia’s official global newsletter, distributed to industry stakeholders around the world.
