The House of Suntory is the founding house of Japanese Whisky. It’s bottled proof that Japan has the ability to reimagine culture as it has with Western music, fashion, food and more by remixing them into something distinctly new and Japanese. As the category leader in Japanese Whisky, The House of Suntory safeguards the country’s reputation by promoting JSLMA labeling standards for all permanent and limited editions of Toki, Hibiki, Yamazaki and Hakushu.
Embodying the beliefs of founder Shinjiro Torii, Suntory Whisky exists to “enrich people’s lives”. Where there is food, there are drinks. Japanese Whisky culture is not just bar culture; but a cornerstone of the countries gastronomic and social experience. Japanese whisky cocktails provide a showcase for the subtlety and complexity of the spirit in carefully balanced recipes served with gracious hospitality.

Toki Japanese Highball
A chilled Japanese highball beautifully highlights the inherent flavor and fullness of whisky while enhancing the taste of various foods. The temperature of the glass, whisky, and soda are crucial, so ensure they are properly chilled beforehand. Even the quality of the ice and the way the soda is poured are fundamental to unlocking all the flavors!
To enhance the fragrance of this Japanese Whisky serve, we recommend using a lemon peel or a grapefruit coin. This will make the highball even more refreshing.

Exploring Japanese whisky cocktails
Although whisky was not the first Western spirit to reach Japan, it was the first to be crafted in the land of the rising sun. The popularization of Japanese whisky, with Kakubin and iconic drinks like the Japanese highball, led to its rapid expansion, paving the way for more complex ways to enjoy it—such as whisky cocktails.
Suntory has been present at every step of Japanese whisky's journey, from Shinjiro Torii turning his dream into reality to the present day. It is an honor that, more than 100 years after our founding, you can still enjoy the finest whisky cocktails with us.
