Suntory Limited
 PROFILE
When Japan decides to get "yopparai" (drunk), many of its whiskey drinkers do so with Suntory, a 100-year-old diversified firm that produced Japan's first whiskey. Hibiki, Kakubin, and Old are some of the whiskies Suntory distills in Japan. It also distills Midori melon liqueur. Domestic products are complemented by the more than 1,500 wines and 100 spirits (such as Jack Daniels and Kahlua) imported by Suntory, which also makes beer, wine, and nonalcoholic drinks. Suntory is a top US distributor of bottled water, and its joint venture with PepsiCo, Pepsi Bottling Ventures, is Pepsi's third-largest bottler. Suntory's other units include food, pharmaceuticals, publishing, resorts, and restaurants.
