The House of Suntory, the Founding House of Japanese Whisky, hosted ‘One Night in Toki-O’ in Delhi—a vibrant event celebrating Japan’s rich traditions through a contemporary lens. The evening brought the streets of Tokyo to life, blending old-world charm with modern flair, all while highlighting Toki™ Suntory Whisky from the iconic portfolio of The House of Suntory.
‘One Night in Toki-O’ is a concept that takes the audiences to the streets of Tokyo, a modern version of Japan where the juxtaposition of old and new sparks creative reinvigoration. A vivid world that is dynamic, playful, and whimsical, providing cultural enrichment through the discovery of a new piece of Japan that is exciting, engaging and fun. In partnership with Toki™, the event captured the essence of Japan by merging its rich traditions with a modern, innovative approach.
Toki™ is a blended whisky inspired by Japan’s culture, heritage, and future-forward outlook. It is a fusion of three storied brands from Suntory's portfolio - Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita - creating a blend that excites whisky enthusiasts and beginners alike. Representing the best of old and new, Toki™ Suntory Whisky blends the rich legacy of The House of Suntory with Japan’s cultural traditions and modern spirit, resulting in a groundbreaking and timeless whisky.
Rohan Jelkie, Brand Advocacy Head at Suntory Global Spirits in India, expressed excitement about bringing this unique event to Delhi after its success in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. He added, “The evening wasn’t just about honouring Japan’s cultural legacy; it was about creating an experience that was lively, sincere, and full of inventive craftsmanship. From the energetic vibe to the nuanced flavours of Toki™ Suntory Whisky, every detail was designed to evoke the joy and ingenuity that Suntory pours into its craft.”
At the event, the essence of Japan came alive, transporting attendees into the heart of Japanese culture. The event kicked off with a mixology workshop led by Heena Riat, Portfolio Advocate, Suntory Global Spirits, North & East India. Attendees delved into Suntory’s rich heritage and the revered Japanese Highball tradition—a simple yet sophisticated way to enjoy whisky, beloved in Japan. Suntory Global Spirits has always played a pivotal role in popularising the highball as a drink, making whisky more accessible to consumers in Japan and across the globe.
The evening continued with a vinyl listening session, an interactive screen printing by The Toki Art Studio, and a Hanko stamp workshop, along with curated culinary delights inspired by the streets of Japan. Hosted at Call Me Ten in Vasant Vihar, Delhi, the event saw the presence of prominent faces such as Aditya Bhalla, Arjun Madan, Jasbir Singh Mehta and many more. Offering a captivating blend of music and art, the event successfully immersed guests in the vibrant spirit of Japanese culture.
