As a 50% polished daiginjo, it points to a fragrant, ginjo-style aroma. SMV +4 with low acidity of 1.2 suggests a light, smooth body with a gentle sweetness rather than a sharp, dry finish.

About

Koizumi Iwao, the brewer two generations before the current head of the brewery, named this daiginjo "Hizoshu" (secret-brewing sake), reflecting his belief that it was made with the skills he had cultivated over many years and a traditional secret method. It is recommended as an introductory daiginjo.
