IWA 5 - Assemblage 4 Sake Gift Box (720ml)
IWA 5 is a revolutionary sake that bridges tradition with bold innovation. Crafted by former Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy, it's a harmonious blend of rice varieties, yeast strains, and even aged reserve sakes. The result? A complex, nuanced sake with surprising depth and a lingering finish reminiscent of white and Sancho peppers.
IWA 5 transcends single-origin sake with its meticulous blending process. Each assemblage combines 3 rice varieties, 5 yeast strains (including wine yeasts), and Kimoto-style fermentations for unparalleled complexity. Bottle maturation adds further depth, ensuring IWA 5 evolves beautifully over time.
Aromas of marzipan and lotus root emerge, followed by vibrant marine undertones, coconut, and darker notes of hazelnut and shiitake. The experience concludes with a surprising flourish of violets. On the palate, IWA 5 offers a fluid journey through airy softness and playful notes of fruit, flowers, and a subtle maritime touch. The sophisticated flavors build to crescendo, culminating in a lingering aftertaste with IWA's signature hints of white and Sancho peppers.
IWA 5 is endorsed by Michelin-starred chefs worldwide for its versatility and ability to elevate a wide range of cuisines. Enjoy it chilled, at room temperature, or even slightly warmed to unlock its full aromatic potential.
