Iwa 5 - Reserves Sake Gift Box 720ml

From the visionary mind of Richard Geoffroy, former Chef de Cave of Dom Perignon, comes a groundbreaking expression of Japanese sake. IWA 5 Reserves boldly redefines tradition, presenting the first aged release from this now-iconic brewery. This is a sake born from the art of assemblage, a philosophy Geoffroy perfected in the world of fine champagne. The final blend is a masterful composition of twelve distinct, matured Junmai Daiginjo components, some aged for up to eight years, creating unparalleled depth and complexity.

Crafted from a trio of elite rice varieties-Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, and Gohyakumangoku-polished to an exacting 35%, this sake achieves remarkable elegance. The palate is a journey of evolving flavors. Delicate aromas of pear, plum, and white florals give way to a silky, textural mouthfeel. Deeper notes of savory black garlic and toasted cocoa emerge, balanced by a hint of white pepper that carries through the long, precise finish.

The experience extends to its presentation. The sake is held in a stunning matte-black bottle designed by Marc Newson, co-creator of the Apple Watch, and comes in a sustainable gift box. As a highly limited release, IWA 5 Reserves is a statement of innovation and a glimpse into the future of aged sake.
