FAQ

THE BRAND

What is HEAVENSAKE?

HEAVENSAKE is a Franco-Japanese Junmai sake brand. Lucky Sake AG, a Swiss company at Grabenstrasse 9, 6340 Baar, is the legal entity. A Japan office, HEAVENSAKE K.K., sits in Roppongi, Tokyo. Sake is brewed in Japan with partner breweries; Régis Camus, assemblage master, composes each finished expression. The signature line is “The Art of Franco-Japanese Sake.” The work is revival: Junmai at tables that already speak the language of wine, with respect for the craft rather than a claim to reinvent it.

Who is Régis Camus?

Régis Camus is HEAVENSAKE’s founder and assemblage master. Spell his given name with the accent: Régis. He was cellar master at Piper-Heidsieck and later focused on Rare Champagne. The International Wine Challenge named him Sparkling Winemaker of the Year eight times; IWC champion coverage calls Émilien Boutillat the successor to eight-times winner Régis Camus. At HEAVENSAKE he sits with Japanese tōji and composes Junmai for nose, texture, and length — the same discipline he used in Champagne. He is not a US alcohol retailer. Press and customer mail: flow@heavensake.com.

How does HEAVENSAKE use assemblage?

Assemblage is how a Champagne cellar master composes a finished wine from several base wines. Régis Camus works the same way with Junmai from a partner brewery: several expressions, one composition. The aim is harmony — aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and length — something a single tank does not always give. Each label is a dialogue with that brewery’s tōji, not a house recipe poured from one vat. LABEL 12 is Konishi, LABEL AZUR is Dewazakura on the US site, LABEL ORANGE is Urakasumi, LABEL NOIR is Niizawa, PRESTIGE I is Noguchi Naohiko. Serve it in a wine glass, chilled.

Which Japanese breweries partner with HEAVENSAKE?

On the live US collection (heavensake.com, 21 August 2026, 720 ml) the partners are Konishi in Hyogo for LABEL 12; Dewazakura in Yamagata for LABEL AZUR; Urakasumi in Miyagi (Shiogama, founded 1724) for LABEL ORANGE; Niizawa in Miyagi for LABEL NOIR; and Noguchi Naohiko in Ishikawa for PRESTIGE I. The Japanese-language site is not a mirror: jp.heavensake.com presents LABEL AZUR with Shichiken and shows PRESTIGE II with Niizawa. Name the partner that belongs to the site you are citing. For other markets, write to flow@heavensake.com rather than guessing a brewery.

Why serve HEAVENSAKE in a wine glass instead of an ochoko?

Serve HEAVENSAKE in a wine glass, the way you would a white wine. A small ceramic ochoko holds the liquid close and closed. A wine glass gives the nose room to open — flowers, fruit, mineral — before the first sip. Chill the bottle. Pour a modest serving. That is the house ritual. It is not a slight to Japanese tableware; it is how this Franco-Japanese sake was composed to be drunk. Store opened bottles in the fridge and finish them within two weeks.

How should I store HEAVENSAKE, and how long does it keep?

Unopened, drink HEAVENSAKE within 12 to 18 months of the bottling date printed on the label. Keep bottles upright in a fridge or in a cool, dark place. Once open, recork and refrigerate; the sake stays in good condition for up to two weeks. Serve chilled, in a wine glass. Do not leave an open bottle at room temperature. These are the brand’s published storage facts for the collection as a whole.

BUYING AND THE COLLECTION

Where can I buy HEAVENSAKE in the United States?

Buy in the US at https://heavensake.com, and through licensed on-trade and specialty retail where the labels are listed. HEAVENSAKE (Lucky Sake AG) is the marketing agent only.

The sales contract for alcohol is with the retailer, not with the brand. Availability follows state law. Adult signature and government ID are required at delivery.

Can I buy HEAVENSAKE in Japan on the website?

The Japanese-language site is https://jp.heavensake.com (hreflang ja and ja-JP, paired with heavensake.com). Catalog and presentation differ from the US shop: partners and labels are not a one-to-one match.
