With an incredible history marked by many firsts, The House of Suntory is one of Japan’s most illustrious purveyors of spirits and wine. It was established during the revolutionary Meiji era, inspired by founder and master blender Shinjiro Torii’s fascination with the West and its winemaking expertise. The Akadama port wine was one of its first major breakthroughs in 1907, with the now-iconic Suntory Kakubin whisky produced exactly 30 years later – a hit with delicate Japanese palates, it became the country’s bestseller, leading to the creation of other must-try sensations including Yamazaki Whisky, Hibiki Japanese Harmony, Suntory Toki, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka.
