Suntory BOSS Coffee is a globally recognized Japanese brand of canned and bottled ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee. Launched in 1992, the brand became a cultural icon in Japan, famously associated with its 'pipe-smoking boss' logo and high-profile marketing campaigns featuring Hollywood actor Tommy Lee Jones. The product is renowned for its 'Flash Brew' method, where coffee is brewed hot to maximize flavor extraction and then chilled rapidly to lock in the aroma and taste.

While the brand originated in Japan and maintains the majority of its production facilities there, it has significantly expanded its global footprint. As of 2026, BOSS Coffee is manufactured and distributed through various regional hubs. In Australia and New Zealand, it is a market leader under the management of Suntory Oceania. The brand's international versions often feature tailored formulations to suit local palates while maintaining the signature Japanese brewing craft.

The brand is owned by Suntory Beverage & Food Limited, a major subsidiary of the privately-held Suntory Holdings. Founded in 1899, Suntory has evolved from a small wine shop in Osaka into one of the world's largest beverage conglomerates, overseeing a diverse portfolio that includes premium spirits, soft drinks, and health products.
