The Japanese distillery Suntory probably needs no introduction, as it is one of the oldest and largest liquor producers in Japan.
It was founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii, a demigod of all things alcohol.
When Japan entered the modern world of industry and innovation, Shinjiro decided to find Sake some friends from the West.
But his mission wasn't simply to mix imported spirits: he wanted to create spirits that were unmistakably Japanese.
After Suntory introduced the first single malt whiskey produced in Nippon, anything was possible.
Finally available, Japanese Haku Vodka, a sumptuous, full-bodied vodka, distilled in Kagoshima, Kyushu, made from 100% Japanese white rice.
The production process of Haku Vodka begins in Kagoshima and ends in Osaka, Japan.
Its name means “white” and stands for the delicious ingredient in cereals.
White rice holds a special place in Japanese culture.
It has always been considered a luxury and reserved for the cult (and, of course, the imperial family).
Haku Vodka is filtered through bamboo charcoal in Osaka, which brings out smooth, rounded and sweet flavors.
Haku is the pinnacle of artisanal spirit creation and an echo of Shinjiro's philosophy of excellence.
You can enjoy it neat or mix it with a real Japanese Highball.
