IWA 5 blended sake by former Dom Perignon cellar master Richard Geoffroy. Through precise orchestration, five classes of elements sing in unison to create IWA 5. The rice class, for instance, comprises three varieties: Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, Gohyakumangoku. In the yeast class, five strains are brought together. Also brought into play are the origin of the rice, the yeast propagation method (moto) and the regimes of fermentation. The blend is the controlled interplay of these many instruments to define a world of possibilities and select the few ones worth pursuing and refining into euphony. It’s all there. In its right place. At the right moment.

Great presence, from the first glance down to the very last sip, through the seamless flow of a wide spectrum of characters. Perfectly balanced, weightless yet profound, intense and persistent.

Serve

Lower temperatures. Reishu. 冷酒

From 5°C and above
Definitely tightens the Sake up. Starting from 1°C/2°C and above puts in motion a subtle play of textures, with an element of gentle, soft fruitiness – pip fruit, ripe pear.

Higher temperatures. Kanzake. 燗酒

35-37°C Hitohadakan 人肌燗
Sensuous. Immaterial and fluffy, a seamless glide. Sourdough, praline.

45°C Jokan 上燗
Amazingly soft, somewhat spherical. The viscosity and silky texture are fusional. Italian anise biscotti, custard.

55°C Tobikirikan 飛び切り燗
A glorified character of rice. Thicker, grainy and slightly astringent. Roasted rice.
