Each amber colored drop has an abundance of flavor and aroma, reflecting its history and tradition.
About 100 years have passed since the birth of the Japanese whiskey, and it is now the most highly
regarded in the world. Japanese whiskeys, which are made by the delicacy and diligence of Japanese people,
have own story and drama. Therefore, we have many varieties of Japanese whisky.

Launched in 1989, and now proudly distributed throughout the world, "Hibiki" is the quintessential Japanese Whisky. We have everything from standards to limited editions available, so we invite you to enjoy the respective differences in flavors.

Shinjiro Torii, who had been devoted himself to making domestic whiskey with Masataka Taketsuru. Suntory, which was founded by Torii, is one of the two big brands, along with Nikka. "Yamazaki" and "Hakushu" are the most famous whiskey of Suntorty.

Each whiskey has its own character, and its taste will be changed according to the way of drink,
such as Straight, on the rocks, twice up, highball and cocktail.

we recommend a highball (whisky and soda). Its clear taste and fresh flavor will
make you feel refreshed. And the duty of barman is to deliver what you want to drink deliciously.

On the rocks: as ice slowly melts, you can enjoy a change of mellow taste. In order for ice to be difficult to melt, it is a point to make it spherical shape, which has minimum a surface area, and with a size just fit into the glass. The sound, which was made when ice comes in contact with a glass, is awesome and unique to the on the rocks.
