Product Description

Haku Vodka is crafted using 100% Japanese white rice (Hakumai), known for its refined taste and purity. The rice is carefully milled and polished before undergoing fermentation with koji rice, similar to the process used in sake production. This unique fermentation process is followed by a double distillation using both pot and column stills, resulting in a smooth and refined spirit. To achieve its exceptional clarity, the vodka is filtered through bamboo charcoal in Osaka, lending it a distinctive smoothness and softness.
