This cherry blossom season, House of Suntory extends a warm invitation to immerse yourself in a delicious sensory journey, capturing the essence of Japanese culture. Enjoy the beauty of the season as we offer South Africans a unique opportunity to revel in the splendor of cherry blossoms right here at our own venue. Join us in celebrating this cultural phenomenon through our unique pop-up tasting facility.

The pop-up has its roots in Suntory’s three pillars, namely WA, Omotenashi and Monozukuri. These three pillars work in harmony to create an immersive experience where visitors can delve into the essence of Brand Japan, both physically and digitally. Incorporating the principles of Japanese nature, hospitality and craftsmanship, this pop-up offers visitors a comprehensive experience showcasing the best of what Japan has to offer. Furthermore, it provides a seamless transition from one exhibition to another, making it easy for visitors to explore and discover different aspects of Japanese culture. Additionally, the pop-up’s attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures visitors have an authentic and memorable experience.

In collaboration with like-minded partners, the pop-up amplifies the Japan brand narrative, adding authenticity and credibility.

Weekend Lifestyle Masterclasses

For starters, craftsmanship takes center stage with lifestyle masterclasses, significantly aligning with the Japanese concept of MONOZUKURI. Additionally, you can enhance your understanding of Japanese crafts and culture through exclusive weekend lifestyle masterclasses starting at 11:00. Additionally, each master class, which lasts 120 minutes, includes a tantalizing pairing tasting experience.

In addition to the Masterclass, the ticket includes a tasting experience of Roku, Toki and Hibiki, paired with a selection of canapés from KoL. Each participant will also receive a complimentary bottle of Roku Gin to take home.
