Anna Sawai has been announced as the first-ever global ambassador for Hibiki, the renowned expression from legendary Japanese whisky makers, The House of Suntory.

Sawai stars in Hibiki Whisky’s first global campaign, dubbed “The Masterpiece of Japanese Artistry,” with the Emmy-winning “Shogun” star photographed in a traditional Japanese kimono while holding a bottle of Hibiki Japanese Harmony, one of the house’s most elegant blends. Sawai also stars in a short film for the brand that traces the connection between kimono-making and whisky blending, two crafts “shaped by time and precision,” per a release.
