IWA 5 Reserves is a new expression of IWA, crafted entirely from aged base sakes. Each component is bottled and matured individually at the Shiraiwa brewery for 2 to 6 years, resulting in an average aging of about 4 to 5 years.
While the standard IWA 5 reflects the inspiration and vibrant character of each particular brewing year, the Reserves edition showcases a deeper, more continuous signature—one shaped by time, patience, and the evolving harmony of IWA’s carefully nurtured reserves.

Shiraiwa Brewery Company
Toyama
It is a new brewery opened in 2021, located in Shiraiwa, Tateyama Town, Toyama Prefecture. The founder is Richard Joffrois. Born in the Champagne region of France, he is the fifth generation Chief Brewer of Dom Pérignon. The traditional wine-making technique known as "assemblage" has been incorporated into sake. As the name implies, assemblage means "to combine," and by combining multiple sake rice, yeast, and other ingredients in the brewing process, a complex yet harmonious flavor can be enjoyed. The company is taking a new step forward in the history of sake, constantly evolving to achieve a better tuning.
