Description
Azumarikishi Daiginjo Hizo Gonen is a five-year cave-aged daiginjo from Shimazaki Shuzo in Nasu Karasuyama, Tochigi, brewed with Yamada Nishiki polished to 40%. The sake is stored in a wartime underground factory converted into a 600-meter cave at a constant 10 degrees Celsius, where it develops a honey-like sweetness, gentle spice, and a smooth, enveloping body that distinguishes it from fresh-style daiginjo.

We use the underground water of the clear stream Naka River that springs out of Nasudake and make sake that can be used every day to make good sake in a natural environment blessed with high quality raw rice. In addition, we continue to secure a cave as a storage room and try to create a new taste of sake.
