Inishie 1984 Iwanoi Demi (37,5cl)
In stock
Inishie 1984 Iwanoi Demi is not a conventional grape wine, but a long-aged Japanese sake from the 1984 vintage. Its golden colour and mature aromatic depth place it firmly in the world of koshu, where time brings layered aromas, savoury detail and a very distinctive drinking experience.
This is a Yamahai Junmai from Iwase Sake Brewing Co. in Onjuku, Chiba. The available information links the brewery with traditional sake making and a strong focus on aged sake. Made from rice and kji without added distilled alcohol, it was matured for an extended period in tank. The emphasis is therefore not on oak, but on the slow development of rice, acidity, minerality and aged sake character.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out because it shows a less familiar (…)Inishie 2009 Maboroshinot Demi (37,5cl)

Inishie 2009 Maboroshinot Demi (37,5cl)

Inishie 2009 Maboroshinot Demi is best understood as a long-aged Japanese sake rather than as a conventional grape wine. The 2009 vintage gives it a clear sense of development: time has added aromatic depth, while the sake retains a sharp, dry, white-wine-like acidity.
What makes this 37.5 cl bottle particularly interesting is the way maturity and freshness meet. It does not move towards a heavy or syrupy style; instead, the impression remains taut and dry, with fruit, grain and nutty tones giving the sake its distinctive voice. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a thoughtful choice for drinkers who want to explore aged sake with a refined, gastronomic edge.
The sake is linked to Mikunihare Shuzo in Kurobe, Toyama Prefecture. Producer information refers (…)Inishie 2010 Tatsuriki Demi (37,5cl)

Inishie 2010 Tatsuriki Demi is not a conventional wine, but a Japanese junmai-koshu: a long-aged sake made without added distilled alcohol. The 37.5 cl demi bottle suits the style well, because this is a sake to pour thoughtfully and enjoy in smaller, more considered servings.
Its identity starts with the rice. This cuvée is brewed entirely from Shinriki, a historic sakemai valued for brewing quality. Around three times the usual amount of koji is used, giving the sake the structure to mature for a long period and develop a markedly evolved aromatic profile.
Honda Shoten, the brewery behind Tatsuriki in Himeji, Hyogo, is responsible for this release. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this kind of aged Japanese sake as something quite distinct: less of a (…)Inishie Kiwami Coffret Vintage Sake 3x18cl (1983, 1995 & 1997) Incl. Box

Inishie Kiwami is not a conventional wine set, but a Japanese tasting coffret built around three long-aged Junmai sakes from the 1983, 1995 and 1997 vintages. Each 18 cl bottle explores a different expression of koshu, the Japanese tradition of aged sake. The word Kiwami means the peak or the ultimate, and in this context it refers to sake where time is not a background detail, but the heart of the experience.
The selection brings together sakes from different regions and breweries: Iwanoi from Chiba, Aoitsuru from Hyogo and Kashoku from Fukui. Tasted side by side, they show how sake can develop over decades, moving from amber-toned depth and bright acidity to floral, toasted and gently fruity impressions. The houses behind these bottles are rooted in long Japanese brewing (…)Inishie Kyoto Coffret Vintage Sake 3x18cl (1990, 1998 & 2013) Incl. Box

Inishie Kyoto Coffret Vintage Sake brings together three aged Japanese sakes in a 3 x 18 cl presentation. This is not grape wine, but rice-based sake, shown through three Kyoto vintages: Tamagawa 2013 from Kinoshita, Eikun 1998 from Saito and Kizakura 1990 from Kizakura.
The real focus here is ageing. Inishie works with long-matured sake, known as koshu, and this coffret places three different stages of maturity side by side, ranging from around ten years to more than thirty years. It is a thoughtful way to explore how sake can move into deeper, more evolved territory over time.
Kyoto forms the heart of the selection, with producers connected to the region's historic sake culture. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a particularly engaging bottle set for (…)Inishie Shiko Coffret Vintage Sake 5x18cl (1983, 1990, 1993, 1995 & 1999) Incl. Box

Inishie Shiko is a vintage sake tasting coffret built around five 18 cl bottles from 1983, 1990, 1993, 1995 and 1999. Rather than presenting one single style, it lets you move through five different aged sakes, each from a separate Japanese brewery.
The name Shiko means the supreme, and in this case it refers to a carefully selected range of long-aged sake, or koshu. The breweries behind the selection were founded between the 17th and 19th centuries, so the appeal is not only in the flavour, but also in the sense of Japanese brewing heritage carried by the set.
Ageing is the heart of this coffret. With maturation ranging from 23 to 40 years, the profile moves far beyond the freshness of young sake into dried and ripe fruit, nuts, caramel-like depth, roasted (…)
