My friends and I do almost everything together. From going on food trips and attending different conventions. Now that we are a bit older (around 35), little did we know that our interest would remain the same—our favourite alcoholic beverage is Japanese whiskey, especially Suntory blend.
We started our friendship when we were kids. We always liked Japanese culture. Anyone would call us either nerd or otaku. We cannot deny, but this is true. We love everything about Japan, especially their animated shows and their comic books called manga. It makes us happy and free. The truth is, we were the school nerds. Those who wear eyeglass, socially awkward introverts and all, but during that time, we do not [actually] care about what other people say. We thought everyone at school, including teachers to teases us, was petty. Look us now, we might be nerds, but we are successfully running our business. Well, anyway, our dreams of having a business started from watching anime, reading manga, going on food trips, and finally actual travelling in Japan, toasting Suntory Japanese whiskey, and other delicacies.
Why Did We Try Suntory Japanese Whiskey?
We first visited Japan many years ago. We did not think of any alcoholic other than Sake. However, when we check-in to our hot spring inn. The Japanese inn’s owner wants to share their Suntory Japanese whiskey with us as a celebration for our first visit to Japan.
Later in our travel in Japan, we have learned that Suntory is one of the most renowned Japanese whiskeys, not only in Japan but in the world. Most opulent business owners love to toast this to celebrate something special.
That was when we got the idea to buy Suntory Japanese whiskey so we could celebrate our last days in Japan with the inn owner who shared his drink with us.
Searching for Hakushu Japanese Whiskey in Singapore
With that, we decided to meet up again, so we could watch a movie like we always did. While we were watching this movie, we notice the main character drink Hakushu Japanese whiskey. From that scene, we become curious about how it tastes, how different it is comparing to Suntory Japanese whiskey we drank in Japan.
Since then, our curiosity about Japanese whiskey began. We watched videos and documentaries about different types of Japanese whiskey, including on how to make one.
Our curiosity never stops and so as our interest. That was when we started to become geared on having a taste of it. My friends and I then decided to buy one, but the question is where? We had no idea on where to buy Hakushu Japanese whiskey, and if Singapore has one.
Good thing, the Internet has everything and that we were able to check this online store that offers whiskey delivery. That is perfect since we are remarkably busy with our everyday work, and that only time we had is one day every year. With whiskey delivery services, we can wait for our drinks at our doorstep.
Toasting Japanese whiskey Every Year
Another thing that is interesting about this online store that offers whiskey delivery is that they also have a wide range of liquor options. From beers, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, and even wines and cocktails! Beside these alcoholic drinks, they also offer rare liquors that you would not usually see on beverage stores.
After drinking Hashuku Japanese whiskey, we realised how different yet, similar it is to Suntory Japanese whiskey. You would know that it is not like Suntory because of how rich flavours are. Truly it deserved the praise as one of the best Japanese whiskeys besides Suntory.
We thought that why not try we try a different blend of Japanese whiskey every year because each sip felt utmost perfection and success. We guessed that was what Japanese whiskey taste is.
That was the beginning of our journey. Every year, Japanese whiskey has been a part of our friendship. Perhaps, even more in the future as we grow old.
Now, we are writing this review to share our tradition and wondering we might inspire you to start your [own] tradition with Japanese whiskey. Imagine, our childhood interest was the roots of how we found our favourite alcoholic drink, Japanese whiskey.
