Shiraiwa K.K., a renowned Japanese sake brewery, introduces its latest creation, the IWA 5 Assemblage 5. This new release showcases IWA's continued commitment to blending craftsmanship with innovation. Crafted by founder and renowned French winemaker Richard Geoffroy in Toyama, Japan, the sake blend fuses traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, resulting in a distinctive evolution of flavour with each iteration of IWA 5.

“Our goal was to surprise ourselves and explore new dimensions while staying true to our identity. Assemblage 5 feels like stepping into a new realm of sake-making. IWA’s creation is a dialogue at the level of spirit, where vision and craft come together to elevate and redefine what’s possible.”

– Richard Geoffroy reflects on this latest creation

Building on the success of Assemblage 4, Assemblage 5 represents a bold new venture, further expanding the boundaries of IWA’s craftsmanship. Years of refining the craft at Shiraiwa’s modern advanced brewery have enhanced the brand’s expertise in the delicate nuances involved in sake brewing. Assemblage 5 strikes a sophisticated balance of warmth, depth, and vitality, offering a contrast between fruity and floral aromas and a subtle bitterness on the palate.

Kanpai!
