The Japanese have loved Scotch for a long time. I remember reading an interview with Adm. Matome Ugaki where the interviewer stated that he arrived with a bottle of very high end Scotch because he knew it was a favorite of his.

"The Japanese have loved Scotch for a long time."

In John P. Marquand's 1930's Mr. Moto novels, Mr.Moto would often say something like, "It would be very, very nice to sit down with you when all of this is over and have a glass of your fine American whiskey. But right now, there is work to do."
