The property

While sake is attracting an ever-wider audience, the Champagne native Régis Camus perceived its potential well before founding Heavensake in 2017. The first champagne cellar master to introduce the art of blending into the world of sake, he aims to create compositions that are both complex and perfectly balanced. Alongside the Tojis (master brewers), he produces cuvées of remarkable purity and harmony.

This sake was created in collaboration with the Urakasumi brewery.

Origins and production method

Orange Label is made from the terroir of Miyagi. Its fine polishing, between 40 and 50%, allows it to express pure and refined aromas.
