Tokiwa Kosyu (720ml)

This unique spirit showcases label art by local printmaker Nakamitsu Meika and represents Izena with a blend made entirely of five-year-old aged spirits. "Tokiwa" offers a clean, slightly dry taste but maintains the smooth, rounded flavour typical of aged liquor, achieving an excellent balance. This Awamori is crafted using a meticulous water selection process—well water, soft water, and natural spring water, depending on the stage of production, highlighting Izena's commitment to unique, quality spirits. Additionally, "Tokiwa" employs an older koji, resulting in a deeper flavour and lingering finish, making every sip a reflection of the distiller's artistry. Whether enjoyed straight, on the rocks or diluted with water, "Tokiwagi" provides a rich, satisfying experience. For those who prefer a milder drink, mixing it as a carbonated awa-ball is also recommended. The label's depiction of Ryukyu pine symbolizes the verdant nature of Izena Island and adds an element of elegance. Experience the distinctive, matured flavours of "Tokiwagi," where each sip offers an evolving taste profile, from robust and aged to subtly nutty and roasted.
