REGIS CAMUS & URAKASUMI
RICH, COMPLEX AND SILKY
THIS SAKE CARRIES AN UNDERCURRENT OF UMAMI THAT GROUNDS EVERY SIP. AS YOU SETTLE INTO THAT EARTHINESS, TROPICAL FRUIT EMERGES: HINTS OF MANGO, LYCHEE, A FLASH OF PAPAYA DANCING ACROSS THE PALATE. IT'S A BALANCING ACT ONLY ASSEMBLAGE CAN ACHIEVE—LAYERING URAKASUMI'S COMPLEX EXPRESSIONS TO UNLOCK FLAVORS THAT EXISTED IN POTENTIAL BUT NEVER IN UNISON. THE RESULT IS A JUNMAI DAIGINJO THAT PAIRS AS BEAUTIFULLY WITH FATTY TUNA AND UNI AS IT DOES WITH AGED COMTÉ OR ROASTED DUCK. SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH FOR THE MOST DISCERNING PALATE, YET EFFORTLESSLY INVITING.

FAQ
- WHAT MAKES LABEL ORANGE RICH AND COMPLEX COMPARED TO OTHER JUNMAI DAIGINJO?
- Label Orange is assembled from multiple expressions of Urakasumi, founded in 1724. Régis Camus layers pineapple, lychee, and melon over a base of complex umami — a silky depth impossible to achieve from a single batch
- WHAT DOES LABEL ORANGE TASTE LIKE?
- Nose: pineapple, lychee, green apple, white blossoms, hints of dried fruit. Palate: silky, slightly rich and dry, with layered umami and smooth acidity. The finish deepens with subtle dried fruit nuances.
- WHO BREWED LABEL ORANGE AND WHAT IS THE STORY OF URAKASUMI?
- Founded in 1724 in Shiogama, Urakasumi brews the sacred sake for the Shiogama Shrine. Led by Saura-san, one of Japan's most iconic sake masters, its philosophy is simple: honor the past, never fear the future.
- WHAT FOOD PAIRS BEST WITH LABEL ORANGE?
- Its umami complexity and silky texture make it ideal with lobster, ceviche, oysters, fatty tuna, uni, aged comté, and roasted duck.
- IS LABEL ORANGE LOWER IN SUGAR THAN TYPICAL WINES?
- Yes. Label Orange finishes dry with residual sugar below 5g/L (SMV: +2.1). Despite its perceived richness, it is balanced and not sweet.
- HOW LONG CAN I KEEP LABEL ORANGE AFTER OPENING?
- Store upright in the fridge — Label Orange stays fresh for up to 2 weeks after opening.
