IWA 5 Sake Of Japan | 1.75L

A premium assemblage-style sake created by former Dom Pérignon chef de cave Richard Geoffroy, built around the concept of blending multiple sake components to achieve balance, depth, and texture. It is designed more like a fine wine or champagne in structure, focusing on layering rather than a single expression style. The profile is refined, complex, and intentionally evolving with air and temperature.

Distillery Information

IWA Sake is produced in Toyama Prefecture, Japan under the direction of Richard Geoffroy, former longtime chef de cave of Dom Pérignon. The sake is not produced in a traditional single-style brewing approach but instead uses an assemblage method, blending multiple sake batches to create a layered final expression. Production takes place at a dedicated facility in Japan using premium sake rice varieties and highly controlled fermentation techniques. The brand emphasizes precision, structure, and complexity, positioning itself at the intersection of traditional sake brewing and fine wine methodology, with a focus on aging potential and evolving aromatic development over time.
