Suntory's 'Sui' is a contemporary Japanese gin that represents a modern frontier for the historic producer, classified here under the 'Other' category as a distilled spirit. Released to celebrate the harmony of Japanese nature and craftsmanship, 'Sui' (which translates to 'jade') is crafted using a combination of eight traditional gin botanicals alongside three signature Japanese botanicals: yuzu, green tea, and ginger. Distilled at Suntory's historic Osaka plant, this spirit is designed specifically to complement everyday dining, offering a crisp, refreshing profile dominated by bright citrus, earthy tea undertones, and a clean, spicy ginger finish.

Founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii in Osaka, Japan, Suntory has grown from a pioneering wine importer into a global powerhouse of fine wines and spirits. While world-renowned for its legendary whisky blending heritage—exemplified by iconic labels like Hibiki and Suntory Old Whisky—the company has also championed Japanese viticulture since acquiring the historic Tomi No Oka Winery in Yamanashi in 1936. Embracing a philosophy of harmony between Japanese nature and craftsmanship, Suntory produces elegant, terroir-driven red and white wines alongside its celebrated spirits portfolio. Today, their wine-making legacy spans from the slopes of Mount Fuji to prestigious estates in Bordeaux, reflecting an uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation.
