Introducing the diverse drinks you can enjoy at the event! A note-writing session accompanied by drinks recommended by local governments (held on 10/26) #CreatorFes
Over 100 local governments have launched official note pro accounts, and the charms of various regions across the country are being shared on note every day.
For Creator Fes 2022, we wanted to help people feel those charms even more closely! With that in mind, we decided to hold an event where we provide drinks recommended by local governments for you to sample while writing on note.
While tasting a little bit of unique drinks from all over the country, you can write a note introducing your favorite drink, or try your hand at an article on a theme you've always wanted to write about...
This is a "session to write on note while tasting delicious drinks recommended by local governments."
