India, brace yourself for a taste of Japan like never before, as Beam Suntory, the global leader in premium spirits, unveils the latest gem from the House of Suntory. Following the resounding success of The House of Suntory portfolio's launch in December 2019, the spotlight now shines on India with the introduction of Haku® Vodka.
Derived from the finest Japanese ingredients, Haku® Vodka is a testament to the nature and spirit of Japan. It embodies the core principles of Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii's Monozukuri craftsmanship—a relentless pursuit of perfection, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
In a country where vodka's versatility has captured the hearts of consumers, the arrival of Haku® Vodka is set to make waves in the vodka market. Neeraj Kumar, Managing Director of Beam Suntory India, expresses their excitement, stating, "Vodka continues to gain prominence as a sought-after spirit amongst Indian consumers due to its versatility. Delivering a distinctive experience and establishing a unique presence in the vodka market, we bring yet another addition from our esteemed House of Suntory portfolio in India with the launch of Haku® Vodka."
The name "Haku," meaning 'white and brilliant' in Japanese, pays homage to the key ingredient, "Hakumai," a pure, white Japanese rice symbolising Japan's essence. This rice is meticulously milled, polished, and distilled, resulting in a "junpaku," a clear, clean, and luminous vodka. What makes Haku® Vodka truly exceptional is its filtration process through bamboo charcoal, adding a touch of sophistication and complexity to the vodka's natural flavour.
Haku® Vodka's design blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern sensibilities, creating a minimalist and artisanal product that beautifully celebrates Japanese craftsmanship.
India is not the sole destination for Haku® Vodka. This premium spirit is set to take flight across multiple markets, including Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana. With prices ranging from INR 3,950 to INR 6,140, it promises to set an unprecedented benchmark in the vodka category.
Haku® Vodka, an embodiment of quality, tradition, and innovation, marks a significant step in Beam Suntory's mission to elevate its premium portfolio in India, further enriching the vibrant landscape of Indian spirits.
As The House of Suntory celebrates a century of whisky innovation, the introduction of Haku® Vodka reaffirms Suntory's commitment to heritage and a relentless pursuit of crafting exceptional spirits. Beam Suntory invites India to savour the essence of Japanese craftsmanship with each sip of Haku® Vodka.

Sheraton Grand Palace Indore has introduced a new immersive dining concept titled “Sarafa se Chappan,” designed to celebrate the vibrant street food culture of Indore through a curated culinary journey.
The experience brings together the iconic flavours of Sarafa Bazaar’s lively night food scene and the diverse offerings of Chappan Dukan, two of the city’s most celebrated culinary destinations. Hosted at S Café, the initiative transforms familiar street food favourites into a refined, sit-down dining format while preserving their authenticity and regional character.
The specially curated menu features a wide range of Indori street food staples, including Potato Hot Dog, Sweet Potato Spiral, Jeeravan Spiced Corn, Indori Chatpati Bhel, and Tandoori Fruits. Complementing the food selection are locally inspired beverages such as Jamun Shots and Pineapple Crusher, designed to reflect the bold, tangy, and refreshing flavours associated with Indore’s street culture.
The concept is built around storytelling through food, where each dish represents a sensory connection to the city’s culinary heritage. By blending nostalgia with presentation-driven dining, the experience aims to recreate the energy and vibrancy of Indore’s bustling food streets within a premium hospitality setting.
According to the hotel, the initiative is designed to offer guests more than just a meal, focusing instead on immersive dining that engages taste, memory, and culture. The emphasis remains on authenticity, creativity, and regional identity, while presenting street food in a structured and elevated format.
The “Sarafa se Chappan” experience will be available every weekend from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Sheraton Grand Palace Indore, offering guests a curated journey through one of India’s most celebrated food cities.

A new vegetarian dining destination has arrived in Bengaluru with the launch of Continuum in JP Nagar. Designed around experiences, interaction, and evolving food stories, the restaurant brings together familiar flavours and global inspirations through a modern vegetarian approach.
Continuum celebrates vegetarian cuisine with a fresh perspective, blending comfort with creativity. Created for families as well as a younger generation increasingly embracing vegetarian lifestyles, the concept aims to offer a dining experience that feels both familiar and exciting. Every element of the space has been planned to encourage connection and create memorable moments.
At the centre of the experience is a dynamic show kitchen paired with refined tableside interactions and personalised service. Rather than being just a place to dine, Continuum focuses on making each visit immersive, social, and engaging.
A key aspect of the restaurant is its evolving menu philosophy. Instead of a fixed offering, the menu is designed to grow and change over time through three distinct layers that bring together guest participation, seasonal inspiration, and signature dishes.
One of its unique concepts is the 30-Day Guest Collab Menu, where guests contribute ideas, flavours, and inspirations that become part of limited-edition dishes. This collaborative approach gives diners a sense of involvement and ensures something new with every visit.
Alongside this is the 90-Day Seasonal Continuum, featuring dishes inspired by changing seasons, local produce availability, and principles influenced by nature and Ayurveda. With changing narratives across monsoon, winter, and summer, the menu evolves with time while staying connected to its surroundings.
At the heart of the offering sits The Continuum Core, a collection of globally and locally inspired vegetarian favourites reimagined with contemporary techniques and modern presentation, balancing comfort with innovation.
The beverage menu also introduces signature zero-proof creations including Picante Passion, Rose Paloma, and Alla Sangria. Designed to deliver the depth and character of classic cocktails without alcohol, these beverages go through infusion and resting techniques that allow flavours to develop over time. The result is a layered and immersive drinking experience with balanced notes of citrus, fruit, herbs, and spice.
Continuum is located at 788, 1st Floor, 15th Cross Road, Above Truffles, Nagarjuna Enclave, 1st Phase, JP Nagar, Bengaluru – 78 and is open from 12 Noon to 4 PM and 7 PM to 11:30 PM.
