Suntory Haku Vodka – 70 cl

Haku Vodka is a premium Japanese craft vodka produced by the renowned House of Suntory. The name "Haku" translates to both "white" and "brilliance," highlighting the clean, luminous nature of the spirit and the meticulous craftsmanship behind it. Unlike traditional vodkas made from potatoes or grain, it is meticulously crafted from 100% Japanese white rice (hakumai).
