Passion for the Ingredients
To fully extract the rich flavor of malt, we spare no time or effort.
The "Diamond Malt," rich in umami components, has an exceptionally hard structure. To fully extract its deep flavor, we employ the "double decoction method," meticulously boiling it twice in a kettle. Since 2023, we have introduced "Polished Diamond Malt," refining the process to elevate its flavor to new heights. This advancement enhances its aromatic elegance and profound richness, delivering a more sophisticated and vividly refined taste experience.
We devote a decade of meticulous craftsmanship to unlocking its exquisite aroma.
The indispensable "European aroma hops" bring forth a cascade of vibrant fragrances.
Through repeated visits to the source, we meticulously assess quality and hand-select
only the finest. We uphold strict temperature-controlled transport to Japan, ensuring
peak freshness.
Moreover, after nearly a decade of refinement, we have developed the Aroma-Rich
Hopping Method, a technique that enhances depth by adding hops in multiple stages
throughout the brewing process. Every possible measure is taken at every step. This is
how that unforgettable aroma is crafted.
To brew exceptional beer, one must start with pure, high-quality water.
Suntory's breweries are located only in places where high-quality natural water lies underground. Water accounts for about 90% of beer, making "natural water brewing" an essential policy. Suntory's four beer factories are built only in locations where they can reliably and safely draw natural water from the underground. Choosing taste over efficiency was the only option.

Why the Foam of The Premium Malts Tastes So Good
Relentless Research on Foam
Recognized for research achievements including the development of a new method to measure foam adhesion, the team was awarded the Brewing Division President’s Award by the American Society of Brewing Chemists for “Improving Beer Foam Stability.”
The Finest Ingredients and Brewing Methods
Based on extensive research data, the optimal selection of ingredients and brewing methods has been established. In addition, techniques that bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients—such as the double decoction method—are meticulously applied.
The Senses and Skills of the Brewmasters
The key to delicious foam lies in the activity of yeast during fermentation. To ensure the yeast works effectively, brewmasters check the brewing process daily without fail, managing kettle temperatures with precision down to 0.1°C.
