About Vodka
Vodka is a neutral spirit produced from simple grains. There’s a massive difference between how much various vodka companies invest on marketing their products, but for the most part, what ends up in the bottle is relatively similar.
The difference that plays the biggest role is the filtration process. Many companies skimp on this step because it demands a longer and more expensive production.
Those that don’t easily stand out.

What Makes Haku Special?
Made with 100% Japanese white rice, the name Haku means "white" in Japanese. The word can also be read as "brilliant"—a tribute to the craft of mastering a clear, clean, and luminous vodka. Filtered through bamboo charcoal, Haku has an unparalleled soft, round, and subtly sweet taste.
Bamboo Charcoal Filtration.
Part of what makes Haku unique is the bamboo filtration that’s unique to Suntory. Like a sponge, the bamboo absorbs most of the impurities in the distilled spirit before it’s bottled, creating clean, easy sipping vodka. Subtle flavours from the bamboo also impart into the finished product.
