Hizo - “Nihon no Kokoro”
- Widely Available Products Rice
This undiluted Ginjyo Shochu is bottled in a Takaratsubo (treasure bottle) and embodies the Spirit of Japan (Nihon no Kokoro). A true treasure (Hizo), the Genshu (undiluted) 40% alcohol content sake is laid to rest in large earthenware crocks until it is perfected. Feel free to drink this shochu as soon as you get it, but letting it sit in its crock at room temperature and occasionally giving it a light shake will keep it flavoring even longer, making it truly one of a kind.
