Producer Profile: IWA Sake - A Harmonious Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
In the world of Sake, IWA stands out as a remarkable expression of innovation, quality, and harmony. The brainchild of renowned wine industry veteran Richard Geoffroy, formerly the Chef de Cave for Dom Pérignon, IWA 5 Junmai Daiginjo Sake embodies a unique fusion of tradition and modernity.
Crafting IWA 5 Sake
In the creation of IWA 5, Geoffroy has demonstrated his exceptional understanding of blending and balance. The Sake is crafted from three different premium Sake rice varieties sourced from across Japan, including Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, and Miyamanishiki.
What truly sets IWA 5 apart is the use of five distinct yeast strains, or 'kobo'. Each strain imparts a unique set of aromas and flavors, resulting in a Sake with an extraordinary range of sensory experiences.
The name "IWA 5" is reflective of this thoughtful blending process - 'IWA' translating to 'rock' in Japanese, symbolizing the Sake's strong foundation, and '5' representing the five yeast strains that lend complexity and harmony.
