Tokiwa Kosyu is a unique spirit that showcases label art by local printmaker Nakamitsu Meika. It represents Izena with a blend made entirely of five-year-old aged spirits. This awamori offers a clean, slightly dry taste but maintains the smooth, rounded flavor typical of aged liquor, achieving an excellent balance. It is crafted using a meticulous water selection process, highlighting Izena's commitment to unique, quality spirits. The use of an older koji results in a deeper flavor and lingering finish. Tokiwa Kosyu can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or diluted with water, providing a rich, satisfying experience. For those who prefer a milder drink, mixing it as a carbonated awa-ball is also recommended.
