Eight years in the making

To this point, Shiraiwa K. K. has released five assemblages of IWA 5, each presenting its own unique characteristics. “Reserves” dives into this sake catalog by blending 12 different aged sake together — some dating back to 2017. Take an unprecedented journey through time with aromas of pear, plum and flower, followed by a creamy mouthfeel, cocoa-like sweetness and complex umami. A peppery finish concludes this elegant, soulful tasting experience.

Shiraiwa K. K.

This brewery was founded in 2019 by Richard Geoffroy, the fifth-generation chef de cave (winemaker) of Dom Pérignon. His appreciation for Japan and its people led to the establishment of this brewery in Tateyama, Toyama. While staying true to the roots of sake, their brewing is an adventurous undertaking of assemblage (blending), making IWA compatible with all world cuisines. The current brewmaster, Masato Yabuta, has been brewing since 1995, and has become a specialist in both yamahai and kimoto styles. IWA is widely recognized as the pioneer of assemblage in sake.
