The sake was supervised by Richard Joffreau, once the fifth highest executive of Dom Pérignon. It is dry and quite robust. The aroma after swallowing is complex and the taste is strong. Delicious.

It was very tasty and had a white wine-like taste! Expensive, I cry!

Opened June 28, 2025 a gift from a friend of mine A very high quality sake🍶 that is well known in the industry. This is a new sake from a new brewery in Toyama. Assemblage: ‼️ It's very smooth. It's like nothing I've ever had before 😍😍😍. The top is mainly acidic, but soon a soft graininess envelopes the whole thing like a tailwind ^ ^. Very harmonious and stable flavor. I couldn't find it in Toyama, but I didn't know it was in Shibuya 😂😂😂.

The drink that created the brewers of Dom Perignon 🍶. 15,000 yen is unaffordable, but I was able to drink it at the meeting.  It is like a colored wine, but it is not light and has depth!  Could it be similar to 14 Tashiro?

7/10 Assemblage 5 with a "I can't write anymore" feeling. So this means I drank from 2 to 5. The taste is definitely different from 3 and 4, but the image of complexity with layers of flavor remains the same. There is no doubt that it is an interesting sake, and I understand that it is unique. If I were to speak of simple preference, the reserve was delicious. I hope that this sake will continue to be a Toyama sake without becoming too rounded.

7/10 Followed by Assemblage 4. Well, it is difficult to get to this point. It is as complicated as ever, but I can't find the words to express it. Simply put, it is much more preferable than 2. I don't even know if "delicious" is the right word, so I'll just say I like it.

7/10 More IWA drinking comparison from here. We'll start with Assemblage 3. It was complex and had a soft, enveloping flavor. The first time I drank IWA5, I was like, "What the heck is this?

8/10 IWA5 was the next one to come out for a drink comparison after Hayashi, which is outrageous. The owner of Waka seemed to be the one who was also invited to the brewery and treated us to dinner, Richard walks around here once in a while. Richard sometimes walks around here. I was a little put off by IWA5 because of the difficulty of assemblage 2, but this reserve was outrageously delicious. I guess it is correct to say that the flavors are layered, and the wine was heavy and delicious. From here, IWA time begins.

The latest IWA5; it is interesting to see how it evolves from year to year and how its character changes each year. It has a nice sweetness and spiciness. It is a sake that matches well with a variety of dishes because it does not have a strong personality.

IWA5 from Toyama Drink Comparison Special Set today At Antenna Shop Toyama Bar. Since we were there, we also had a bottle of IWA5. It was developed by a Frenchman who was the chief brewer of Dom Perignon. Well, this is interesting! In short, it's a blend of 5 different liquors? (According to the official description, there are about 20 original liquors 😅) Complex! Delicate but bold! I feel like it has many faces. Too bad it's a bit expensive and only 30ml 😅. According to the official description. "The exquisitely resonant warmth, gravity, and vitality expressed by Assemblage 5 are a distinctly avant-garde character, accentuated by the contrast between palette (flavor) and nose (aroma). Pure, balanced fruity and floral aromas with an austere, gentle depth that brings a definite sense of layering." I honestly don't know what that sounds like, but it's delicious 🥂 sebon!
