The 2023 release of the US Edition of Ichiro's Malt features a new label that fancifully depicts US Commodore Matthew Perry-a key figure in the United States' rapport with Japan in the 19th century-enjoying a dram of Ichiro's Malt in Washington D.C., surrounded by the cherry blossom trees gifted from former Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki and pioneering chemist Dr. Jokichi Takamine in 1909.
