IWA 5 Sake Junmai Daiginjo

This expressive and dynamic brew is the quintessential example of the new frontiers of sake that are now very intertwined in the wine world. Made by the former Master Brewer of Dom Pérignon, this sake is “orchestrated” with 3 different rice varietals and 5 different brewing yeasts including 2 wine yeasts .Expansive and weighty, this brew starts slick and slippery then a dazzling acidity play turns the sip into a very wine-like experience. There is width, depth, and bulk to this sake with umami complexity and a whole host of flavors such as pear, mint, lemon zest, almond, herbs, tea, apple, burnt honey, woody, and cheesy hints that dance on a 2.6 acidity level. Some sake are made and some sake are constructed. This IS and it is NOT Junmai Daiginjo sake, which means, it is unlike any JDG that you've ever tried! But you will never know until you try it.
