BRAND MOVIE
World-renowned traditional processes and
blending techniques
At the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), one of the world's most prestigious liquor competitions, KANÁDE Japanese Cherry Blossom Liqueur and KANÁDE Matcha Liqueur were awarded Gold Outstanding medals,* while Yuzu and Japanese White Peach won Silver medals. In a remarkable feat, each of the flavors earned high scores.
*Gold Outstanding indicates an especially high score of 98 to 100 points among Gold awards.
These ratings are made possible by Suntory's dedication to the essence of flavor—100% domestic ingredients and macerating and distilling techniques that draw out their individuality.
To draw out the best from these carefully selected Japanese ingredients, the artisans at Osaka Spirits & Liqueurs Craft Distillery, with its 100-year history, pursue the optimal macerating or distilling techniques for each ingredient.
In this way, diverse and complex base liquors are created, taking advantage of their individual characteristics.
These liquors are then skillfully blended by the superb craftsmanship developed over the years since the founding.
The resulting Suntory KANÁDE liqueurs combine the unmistakable taste of natural ingredients with exquisite harmony.
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.
