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.
LABEL NOIR × TATENOKAWA
Each Label Noir edition is made with a different Japanese brewery. This one is made with Tatenokawa, founded in 1832 in Sakata, Yamagata. Since 2010 the brewery has made only junmai daiginjo, the first in Yamagata to do so. This bottle won Gold, 93 points, at the 2024 Sommeliers Choice Awards.
