OUR BREWING PARTNER
- NIIZAWA
- IN MIYAGI PREFECTURE, NIIZAWA BREWERY STANDS AS A SYMBOL OF RESILIENCE AND RENEWAL. DESTROYED BY THE 2011 EARTHQUAKE, IT WAS REBUILT BY IWAO-SAN WITH UNWAVERING SPIRIT, A REBIRTH THAT REDEFINED ITS LEGACY. TODAY, UNDER THE VISION OF KAORI WATANABE, JAPAN’S YOUNGEST FEMALE TOJI MASTER, NIIZAWA BLENDS HERITAGE AND INNOVATION. LABEL NOIR CAPTURES THIS HARMONY, A TRIBUTE TO STRENGTH, ELEGANCE, AND THE ART OF ASSEMBLAGE

FAQ
- WHAT RICE POLISHING RATIO DEFINES LABEL NOIR?
- Label Noir is produced with rice polished to 23% or below — removing over 75% of the grain. This ultra-premium polishing is what creates its signature floral and delicate profile.
- WHAT DOES LABEL NOIR TASTE LIKE AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
- Cantaloupe, tangerine, and lychee on the nose. Refreshing acidity, minerality, and ripe fruit on the palate. A light yet lingering finish — unlike most sake, which finish short.
- WHO BREWED LABEL NOIR AND WHAT IS THE STORY OF NIIZAWA BREWERY?
- Niizawa Brewery in Miyagi was destroyed by the 2011 earthquake and rebuilt with unwavering spirit. Today led by Kaori Watanabe, Japan's youngest female Toji master, it blends heritage and innovation — and Label Noir captures that harmony.
- WHAT FOOD PAIRS BEST WITH LABEL NOIR?
- Its floral delicacy and minerality are a perfect match for uni, lobster, caviar, pata negra, iberico ham, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

- Yes — serve Label Noir between 45–50°F (7–10°C) in a white wine glass to preserve its delicate floral aromatics and fruity freshness.

- Store upright in the fridge — Label Noir stays fresh for up to 2 weeks after opening.
