HISTORY

Importing the rich
Western liquor culture into
Japanese lives

Suntory Founder Shinjiro Torii got into the alcoholic beverage business in 1899, in the middle of the Meiji Era, out of a strong desire to carve out a Western-style liquor culture in Japan.Through a repeated process of trial and error, he finally succeeded in bringing to the people of Japan the diverse and rich pleasures of Western liquor.

In 1919, he established the Osaka Plant as the main production center for spirits and liqueurs. It was 1947 when Suntory's first original liqueur, Hermes Peppermint, was perfected and went on sale.

Thereafter, the plant sent many different liqueurs out into the world. At the same time, various events including cocktail competitions and cocktail workshops were put on over the years aimed at making the Western liquor culture a familiar part of Japan.

CRAFTMANSHIP

The traditional process and
blending techniques for
drawing out the individuality of
Japanese ingredients

YUZU, MATCHA, JAPANESE CHERRY BLOSSOM, JAPANESE WHITE PEACH. KANÁDE liqueurs use 100% domestically sourced Japanese ingredients for the key flavors that define their taste.

Drawing out the most from these carefully selected ingredients and conjuring up the delicate flavors are artisans at the Spirits and Liqueur Atelier of the Suntory Osaka Plant, with its 100-year history.

Employing the optimal soaking or distilling techniques for each ingredient, diverse base liquors are created, taking advantage of their individual characteristics.

These diverse liquors are then skillfully blended by the superb craftsmanship developed over the years since the founding.
The outstanding skills of our team of blenders create Suntory Liqueur KANADE, with its taste of natural ingredients like no other.
