Made with rice grown on Izena Island, where rice cultivation has continued for more than 400 years, The IZENA is an Awamori that expresses the character of the island through its locally grown rice.
Its full, gently sweet grain aroma brings out the natural sweetness and umami of the rice, creating a soft and comforting flavour with a subtle sense of nostalgia.
Savoury notes reminiscent of matsutake mushroom are layered with the rich sweetness of pure brown sugar, creating a complex and powerful flavour profile.
Enjoy it neat to experience how its aromas evolve over time. On the rocks or with water, its generous sweetness comes to the fore, while soda water brings out a crisp, refreshing character.
