Tasting notes
IWA sake is a French-inspired initiative. In 2018, Richard Geoffroy, former cellar master of Dom Pérignon, took on a new challenge: creating his own exceptional Japanese sake. Nose: The aromatic bouquet opens with notes of almond and lotus root, complemented by nuances of iodine, concluding with aromas of violet. Palate: On the palate, this sake reveals a combination of fruity and floral notes, with an iodized and subtly spicy (white pepper) finish.

About this sake
IWA 5 Assemblage 4 is a premium Junmaï Daïginjo sake from Japan, crafted by IWA 5, a producer renowned for precision blending and meticulous sake production. This Junmaï Daïginjo represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese sake-making, where rice is polished to reveal only the finest starches, then fermented with exacting control to achieve exceptional clarity and refinement. At 15% ABV, it balances delicate intensity with remarkable restraint.
The Assemblage 4 designation reflects IWA 5's signature approach: blending multiple sake lots to achieve harmony and complexity that no single batch could deliver alone. The result is a versatile spirit suited to fine dining and discerning home entertaining. Pair with shellfish, sushi and sashimi, white fish, and poultry; it also complements fresh herbs, aromatic dishes, and grilled vegetables. Ideal for those seeking authentic Japanese sake craftsmanship without compromise.
