Shin IWA" is made by Shiraiwa (Tateyama, Toyama Prefecture), the brewery of Richard Jofrowa, the former chief brewer of the French luxury champagne "Dom Perignon".
Kengo Kuma introduced Richard Jofrowa to the Masuda Sake Brewery, and the collaboration was realized.
The IWA bottle was designed by Marc Newson: it resembles the shape of a Burgundy wine rather than a traditional sake bottle. The neck of the bottle also gives a slightly different impression.
The etiquettes were a collaboration between calligrapher Mariko Kinoshita and art director Hideki Nakajima.
Super savory with a tangy sour taste

A junmai daiginjo-shu with a gorgeous aroma and a good bitter flavor that wraps around the palate, with a refreshing finish.
Agreed on the impression that the sake is like a gentle light, reminiscent of a beautiful spring day. ☺️

A gorgeous aroma reminiscent of pineapple.
Light and refreshing, with a good sharpness.
Smooth!
Beautiful bottle!
It has a refreshing ginjo aroma, a rough-running, bouncy mouthfeel, and a fresh finish with a gassy feel.
We had it served at our request for a fresh, piquant one!

Sold as a set of two bottles, one to enjoy the fresh taste and the other to enjoy the changes in taste by refrigerating and aging.
Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate from Kusumi Shuzo, which revived the phantom sake rice "Kame no O".
