Chef Ana Roš has been recognized as the World's Best Female Chef in 2017 by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Her culinary prowess, embellished with a Michelin Green Star and the Best Chef Pristine Award, is on display in India for the first time.
The recently concluded Delhi event witnessed the exquisite pairing of Ana Roš’s culinary creations with Suntory's premium Suntory Whisky Toki™. Toki™ is a blended whisky that is inspired by Japan’s culture, heritage and future-forward outlook. It is a marriage between three-storied brands from Suntory's portfolio - Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita - making it a distinctive blend that promises to excite whisky enthusiasts and beginners alike. It represents the best of old and new, bringing together the rich, age-old legacy of The House of Suntory and Japan’s cultural traditions with its contemporary and modern spirit to perfect a blend that is both groundbreaking and timeless. This collaboration aims to offer an unparalleled dining experience, where each sip and bite tell a story of expertise and passion.
Highlighting the collaboration, a spokesperson from Beam Suntory India, said, "We are delighted to embark on this culinary experience with Chef Ana Roš, a true maestro in the world of gastronomy. At Beam Suntory, we believe in the art of craftsmanship, and Chef Roš’s dedication to culinary excellence perfectly aligns with our commitment to crafting exceptional spirits.

Speaking about catering to the Indian market, Chef Ana Roš, added, "I'm excited to team up with Beam Suntory and Conosh to blend Slovenian charm and my culinary creativity for my first pop-up in India at the country’s landmark hospitality destination – Taj Mahal, New Delhi. We dived into Indian markets and culture to recreate Hiša Franko's magic – the only three Michelin-starred restaurant in Slovenia. Partnering with Toki from the Beam Suntory portfolio added an extra layer of excitement, as it allowed us to curate a unique dining experience that brought together craftsmanship and elegance.”
