The Chita Distillery

The House of Suntory is a house of Japanese artisans crafting premium spirits inspired by Japanese nature and masterfully executed with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. In addition to our luxury brands Yamazaki, Hakushu, Chita, and Hibiki, we also offer Suntory Whisky Toki, Roku Gin, and Haku Vodka as premium options. We do more than create high-quality spirits; we embody Japanese philosophy and traditions that are a true expression of everything we make.

At House of Suntory, we have been pioneers of fine Japanese whisky since 1923, and we invite you to celebrate this exciting milestone with us. The House of Suntory was built on a singular dream: its founder, Shinjiro Torii, wanted to enrich the lives of the Japanese people, so he became an entrepreneur, manufacturer, and craftsman. Inspired by the riches of Japan's nature, he chose the Yamazaki region for its renowned soft water, unique climate, and beautiful seasons, all of which would contribute to the distinctive Japanese character of Suntory whiskies.

Shinjiro achieved his dream of "creating an original Japanese whisky blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and monozukuri craftsmanship." Today, that vision continues, and The House of Suntory now represents a House of Japanese Culture: a rich experience and a tribute to Japan in every bottle, ready to be discovered by the world as we enter our second millennium.
