A wondrous orchestration

IWA 5, orchestrated by Richard Geoffroy, relies on an experimental assemblage (blending) process that challenges and stretches the boundaries of sake. We invite you to experience IWA 5 “Assemblage 3” as it launches in America. The amazing layered depth and long finish is a complex blend of “genshu” (undiluted sake) using three varieties of sake rice from four different origins, and five kinds of yeast. It is unlike any sake you’ve tasted before — a must-try for any sake lover. IWA has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Robb Report and more.
