The Torii Shoten Store, the predecessor of Suntory, opened in 1899 as a result of the dream of young Shinjiro Torii, who at the age of 20 wanted to \"create original Japanese Spirits the whole world can enjoy, uniquely made from Japan\'s nature and her people.\" Shinjiro overcame numerous hardships to make his dream a reality, creating wine, whisky and brandy, and launching the first Suntory gin in 1936. Shinjiro and his successors continued to work hard on building a deep knowledge of distilling alcohol. The creation and perfection of ROKU are based on more than 100 years of distilling expertise.
