I tried Haku Vodka twice before settling on a rating. It opened with light sweetness and stayed pleasant, but it was almost too neutral. I'd order it again in the right mood.

Honestly, Haku Vodka was different from what I expected. The start was better than the finish: soft finish first, then the texture felt thin. I wouldn't refuse it, but I have other favourites.
