OKA Brand Vodka Review
In a spirits category often knocked for having a "lack of character," this vodka represents a truly enjoyable outlier. Made in Japan with rice and sake brewer's yeast, this unique expression from Oka in Kumamoto shines with notes of blooming white flowers and sweet rice. At 43 percent ABV and with an MSRP of just $27, this vodka is a worthy, affordable addition to any spirits enthusiast's back bar.
