OUR BREWERY PARTNER
- NOGUCHI NAOHIKO
- KNOWN AS “THE GOD OF SAKE,” HE HAS DEDICATED MORE THAN SEVEN DECADES TO REFINING HIS CRAFT. HIS PRESENT BREWERY, THE NOGUCHI NAOHIKO SAKE INSTITUTE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ISHIKAWA, WAS FOUNDED IN 2017. WHEN RÉGIS CAMUS MET NOGUCHI-SAN, MASTERS FROM TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS CAME TOGETHER IN A SHARED PURSUIT OF PERFECTION, GIVING LIFE TO PRESTIGE I
220 YEARS OF ARITA PORCELAIN MASTERY

RÉGIS CAMUS’S TIME-HONORED ASSEMBLAGE, PRECISE, LAYERED, AND DEEPLY ARTISANAL, ALLOWS FOR ONLY THE MOST LIMITED CREATION.
