Vodka cocktails
In Japan, rice is used in traditional rituals, gifted to family members, and is central to the country's distinctive cuisine. Channeling centuries of expertise from Japanese rice artisans, The House of Suntory created a singular vodka that’s gently filtered through bamboo charcoal to produce a luxurious spirit tailored for cocktail connoisseurs.
Japanese rice of the highest quality gives Haku Vodka the ideal body and subtlety to stand up along other boldly flavored ingredients in a cocktail. Haku means “white” and alludes to the purity and brilliance of light itself. Like a painter’s expertly prepared canvas, Haku is the perfect vodka to mix colorful flavors upon.
Our selection of Japanese vodka cocktail recipes
Some spirits pair best with specific flavors to enhance their character, but that’s not the case with Haku Vodka. Its smoothness and subtle sweetness, so delicate and refined, make it the perfect base for any kind of vodka cocktail recipe.
The number of mixed drinks you can prepare with our Japanese vodka is limited only by your imagination. You may prefer to enjoy it as your regular martini, but Haku will invite you to experiment with other flavors to enhance its Japanese essence. Try it with lychee, matcha, or even espresso, and let your creativity flourish with our Japanese vodka cocktail recipes.
The art of Japanese vodka in Haku vodka cocktails
Vodka crafting in Japan is relatively new compared to Japanese whisky or Japanese gin. However, its popularity continues to grow thanks to its exceptional quality and distinctive character, making it an ideal base for any vodka cocktail.
With a top-quality rice base, the use of rice koji for fermentation, and techniques such as bamboo charcoal filtering—rooted in the production of other traditional Japanese rice-based beverages—vodka has become one of the Western spirits most seamlessly adapted to Japanese culture. At least, this is true for Haku, which reflects our formula of how to make Japanese vodka.
