What Is Lychee & Yuzu ?

Yuzu is a prized Japanese citrus fruit known for its vibrant aroma and unmistakable flavor. Resembling a small, rough-skinned grapefruit, it offers a bright blend of lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit with subtle floral notes.

Beneath its vibrant reddish-pink shell, the lychee reveals juicy, translucent white flesh with a delicate floral aroma and a naturally sweet, subtly tart flavor. Often described as a blend of grape, pear, and rose, lychee is prized for its refreshing, exotic character.

Lineup of HAIKEN Vodka.

HAIKEN's bottle is designed to stand out. Inspired by the elegance of a crystal-cut decanter, its tall, textured silhouette offers a modern take on traditional vodka packaging. Minimalist labeling and authentic Japanese details reflect the brand's heritage, while the vibrant colors of each flavored expression hint at the exceptional taste within. Distinctive, refined, and unmistakably HAIKEN.
