Iwa 5 - Assemblage 5 Sake Gift Box 720ml

IWA 5 - Assemblage 5 represents a groundbreaking vision in the world of sake, crafted by Richard Geoffroy, the legendary former Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon. Applying his mastery of blending from the world of fine champagne, Geoffroy creates a sake with remarkable depth, character, and the potential to age gracefully. This is a significant departure from traditional sake, designed to captivate the modern palate.

The 2023 release is a study in contrasts, offering both profound weight and bright energy. It opens with an inviting nose of pear, raspberry, and delicate florals like rose and jasmine, all lifted by a fresh hint of pine. On the palate, this duality continues. A silky, warm entry gracefully gives way to a dry, mineral finish that feels both pure and lasting. Notes of citron zest, white pepper, and licorice linger, creating a vibrant and memorable experience that challenges expectations.

Crafted from three distinct rice varieties and five yeast strains using the traditional Kimoto method, Assemblage 5 is a Junmai Daiginjo that speaks the language of fine wine lovers. It is a modern classic, featured in top restaurants worldwide and built for the global table.
