Assemblage 6 is all poise and precision
— a refined, linear expression that holds
its note from the very first impression
to a seamless, lingering finish.

“IWA speaks the language of wine drinkers. It’s against all odds—the familiar statement
is that sakes don’t age, but IWA does.” - Richard Geoffroy
Born in the heart of Shiraiwa, Toyama Prefecture, Japan, IWA is founded on the core
principles of curiosity, experimentation, and innovation. Established by Richard
Geoffroy, former Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon, IWA reimagines sake through
blending, aging, craftsmanship, and a pioneering spirit, drawing on Richard’s deep
winemaking expertise.
Crafted to showcase the broad versatility of sake on the table, IWA continues to
redefine how sake is experienced worldwide. Produced at its own kura (brewery) by
Richard Geoffroy, in conjunction with celebrated Master Brewer Yabuta Toji, IWA’s
core lineup of Assemblage bottlings highlight the remarkable depth, balance, and
versatility achieved in blended sake; when greeted with patience, these nuances will only
continue to evolve gracefully over time.
Designed to pair seamlessly with global cuisines, IWA is proudly featured in over 140
Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide and continues to inspire a new generation of
curious palates through its ever-evolving journey across the world of craft sake.
THE NOSE
Deeply coherent, the nose unfolds with a calm, emotive presence.
Pear and plum emerge first, joined by a note of green foliage and
a backdrop of toasted rice. Layers of nori seaweed and a hint
of cacao add depth, bringing both freshness and quiet richness.
THE PALATE
Somewhat drier than Assemblage 5, the palate is sleek and linear,
carrying its note with unbroken clarity. There is a natural integration
of the fruit, floral, and marine elements. A gentle note of buttery
brioche unfurls with aeration, adding textural richness.
The finish is long, tactile, and resonant, signature balance
and complexity are carried till the very end.
