Suntory Kakubin

The iconic Suntory blended whisky in its distinctive tortoiseshell square bottle, first introduced in 1937. Kakubin is the definitive highball whisky of Japan and a cornerstone of Japanese drinking culture. Found in virtually every izakaya, convenience store, and vending machine across the country. Not a premium sipping whisky but rather the affordable, everyday backbone of the "whisky highball" (ハイボール) phenomenon that is central to social drinking in Japan.
