What comes to mind when you think of travelling? Sightseeing is very important of course. And more? The best part of travelling is local food including drinking!
These days several kinds of whisky are very popular all over the world. In Japan we have very famous whisky called “kakubin” from Suntory.
Suntory whisky
Suntory whisky is also called “KAKUBIN” due to the shapes of the bottle. Incidentally Kaku means corner in Japanese and Bin means bottle. The most notable feature of Kakubin is sweet aroma. When you drink it, it aromas like sweet honey. It flavors very rich but dry finished.
Suntory
Suntory produces many beverages, beer, wine and wellness products apart from whisky.
Original store of Suntory started in Osaka, Japan in 1899. There are 270 group companies around the world and the employees are 40,885 people. Also Suntory has other popular whisky such as Hibiki, Yamazaki, Hakusyu, Yoichi and more.
Japanese style drinks
When Japanese people go to restaurant for drinking with friends, we say
“I’ll start with a beer!”.
However people has been increasing in recent years that order whisky and soda called highball for the first order. Influenced by the TV commercial of the Suntory whisky, many people order whisky and soda along with Japanese fried chicken! Incidentally we often squeeze lemon over the chickens. Also Japanese mam often cooks fried chickens for dinner!
Japanese fried chicken is small size and usually no bone chickens are cooked. It marinated with soy sauce, ginger and garlic. After coating with flour and starch, deep fried.
Summary
It is so much fun to experience that country’s food when you visit other country. As same as food, you will be exited about local drinks as well.
Let’s enjoy drinking Suntory whisky and soda while eating Japanese fried chicken at the Japanese restaurant when you visit Japan!
