Discover a new era of Japanese sake. IWA 5 represents a brilliant intersection of traditional brewing and masterful blending. The project was founded by Richard Geoffroy, the legendary former cellar master of a prestigious French Champagne house. With this project, he brings the renowned concept of assemblage directly to the world of sake. This complex process involves blending different individual components to create a final drink that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Unlike conventional single batch brews, every release of IWA 5 weaves together three distinct premium rice varieties. The brewing team combines these with five unique yeast strains and carefully aged reserve batches. Every grain of rice is polished down to thirty five percent to ensure absolute purity and deep flavor concentration. The result is a highly complex, beautifully balanced, and vibrant beverage that stands in a class of its own.
Perhaps the most unique feature of this collection is its remarkable ability to age. While most sake is meant to be consumed soon after bottling, IWA 5 is designed to evolve and mature beautifully over time. It truly speaks the language of fine wine. These expressions also offer unparalleled versatility at the dinner table. They seamlessly adjust their profile to match delicate raw seafood or robust roasted meats, carrying you through an entire varied menu. Explore our curated selection of these extraordinary releases and experience a true masterpiece of modern brewing.
