Heavensake : Junmai Daiginjo Label Orange

Tasting Tips for Junmai Daiginjo Label Orange by Heavensake

Tasting Notes

Appearance
This sake has a crystal-clear, slightly pearlescent appearance, hinting at remarkable purity.

Nose
The bouquet opens with delicate notes of exotic fruits such as pineapple, lychee and melon, accompanied by refined floral touches of white lily and a subtle hint of dried fruit.

Palate
On the palate, Label Orange offers a silky texture and beautiful complexity. The umami is distinctly present, bringing depth and elegance to the whole. Its balance between acidity and roundness makes it a harmonious and refined sake.

Pairings

This junmai daiginjo pairs perfectly with delicate white fish or finely prepared red meats. It will notably elevate a sea bass carpaccio, a wagyu beef tataki or a tuna tartare with citrus fruits.

Serving and storage

Best served well chilled, ideally in a wine glass to fully appreciate the complexity of its aromas. Once opened, it retains its qualities for up to four weeks, provided it is stored upright in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place.

An exceptional sake, blending tradition and innovation

The estate

While sake is winning over an ever-wider audience, Régis Camus, a Champagne native, recognised its potential long before founding Heavensake in 2016. 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. Working alongside the Tojis (master brewers), he crafts cuvées of remarkable purity and harmony.

This sake was created in collaboration with the Urakasumi brewery.

Origins and production method

Label Orange is made from the terroir of Miyagi. Its fine polishing, between 40 and 45%, allows pure and refined aromas to be expressed. The production of this junmai daiginjo relies on yeasts developed by the Urakasumi brewery. No sugar or additives are added, guaranteeing a natural and authentic expression of the rice. With an alcohol content of 16.3%, this sake reveals a rich, structured and perfectly balanced profile.
