HEAVENSAKE “Dewazakura” Junmai Ginjo Azur
Yamagata prefecture
A love letter to ginjo sake
Champagne cellar master Régis Camus has partnered with Dewazakura Sake Brewery to craft an assemblage that celebrates ginjo sake. The Yamagata prefecture brewery is famous for having kick-started the ginjo trend with their 1980 release, Dewazakura “Oka” Cherry Bouquet. HEAVENSAKE blends various batches of the brewery’s sake in such a way that it plays into the brand’s elegant, smooth style. It pairs well with jamón Ibérico, salade Niçoise and seafood.
