CRAFTING ELEVATION

A VIRTUOSO,
A PASSION, A MISSION

heavensake is a sake brand, 100% made in japan, born to build a bridge between two cultures and the people who love them.

guided by the respectful ambition of régis camus, eight times the iwc’s “sparkling winemaker of the year,” heavensake brings the french art of Assemblage into japanese tradition.

through this method, our label collection offers junmai, junmai ginjo, and junmai daiginjo expressions designed to feel layered, balanced, and quietly profound, while honoring the magnificent heritage of japanese sake-making.

It’s a meeting of masters: french joie de vivre and japanese cultural cool, crafted to share the beauty of japanese sake around the world.

THE ART OF
ASSEMBLAGE

champagne-making relies on Assemblage: selecting different wines and composing them in precise proportions, to let each element elevate the next.​

heavensake applies this same art to japanese sake, composing each expression for balance, texture and length.​

for every heavensake expression, régis camus composes multiple sakes to reveal new flavors and fragrances, then fine-tunes the composition like music layer by layer.​

the aim is harmony: the right balance of nose, taste, mouthfeel, and length.

BORN FROM REVERENCE

ASSEMBLAGE MASTER, HEAVENSAKE
RÉGIS CAMUS

"My connection with Japan stems from my times as Cellar Master at Rare Champagne and the Heidsieck Maison."

"Creating sake through assemblage is like composing a symphony - combining single elements to reveal something greater than the sum of its parts. I work closely with the Toji masters of the breweries to craft assemblages that express elevation, elegance, and a certain joie de vivre.

The process is a true dialogue between the brew masters and myself. A dance between respect, passion, and creation leading to a moment of bliss where we know we found the perfect assemblage that embodies the spirit of the brewery and the soul of HEAVENSAKE."

ELEVATION WORLDWIDE

heavensake travels as a cultural vessel for sake and the people who elevate it: brewers, chefs and the quiet masters behind the counter.​

the brand designed an omakase table celebrating sushi craftsmanship, a tribute to the artists who guide guests through moments of bliss at omakase counters worldwide.​

across continents, heavensake collaborates with creatives and tastemakers from new york to ibiza, from “we are ona” to the mediterranean, bringing its spirit to places where culture and cuisine meet.​

heavensake is a drink of connection and communion, at home in top restaurants and bars around the world.​

and because relationships matter, our bond with tokyo’s iconic sake bar ‘twelv’ and its owner taca‑san inspired a varsity jacket; our collaboration story of november 2025 marked nine years of friendship.

FAQ

IS ALL HEAVENSAKE JUNMAI?
Our LABEL collection is. LABEL 12 is a Junmai, LABEL AZUR a Junmai Ginjo, and LABEL ORANGE and LABEL NOIR are Junmai Daiginjo: rice, water, kōji and yeast, with no added distilled alcohol. PRESTIGE I, composed with the Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute from sake in Noguchi-san’s personal archive, carries no Junmai grade.
WHICH BREWERIES MAKE HEAVENSAKE?
Our current US collection is composed with Konishi, Dewazakura, Urakasumi, Niizawa and the Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute.
WHAT IS ASSEMBLAGE?
Assemblage is the art of composing a finished expression through the selection and proportions of different sakes from a partner brewery, as a Champagne cellar master composes a finished wine. Régis Camus, eight times the International Wine Challenge Sparkling Winemaker of the Year, composes each of our sakes this way with the brewery’s tōji (master brewers).
WHO IS RÉGIS CAMUS?
Our Assemblage master. He was cellar master at Piper-Heidsieck and later focused on Rare Champagne, and the International Wine Challenge named him Sparkling Winemaker of the Year eight times. With Noguchi Naohiko he composed PRESTIGE I: after three days and some forty or fifty trials at Noguchi’s brewery, each man wrote down the final combination on his own, and they had written the same one.
