vodka

Japanese: ウォッカ
vodka
A distilled alcoholic drink unique to Russia. It is colorless, odorless, and transparent, with an alcohol content of 40-60%. It is made by adding malt to rye or barley, saccharifying it, fermenting it, and distilling it. Currently, potatoes and corn are used as the main ingredients. Vodka is characterized by the fact that the distilled alcoholic drink is filtered through a filter layer filled with birch charcoal to remove odors and purify it. It has been produced since the end of the 14th century, and after the Russian Revolution of 1917, it was made in various countries around the world by exiled Russians. Vodka-based cocktails are also popular.
