HEAVENSAKE blends Japanese sake the way Champagne is blended: several batches from one brewery, brought together by Régis Camus with the brewery's toji. Camus was cellar master at Piper-Heidsieck and later led Rare Champagne, and was named IWC Sparkling Winemaker of the Year eight times.
HEAVENSAKE makes only junmai sake: no distilled alcohol is added.
