Product details
Born from the pioneering vision of HEAVENSAKE and the artistry of renowned assemblage master Régis Camus, the Katsuyama Label Azur Junmai Ginjo redefines sake through the French craft of blending. Drawing on traditions honed in Champagne, Camus employs an approach where 1+1=3—combining select base sakes to create an entirely new expression greater than the sum of its parts. Crafted at Katsuyama, an esteemed brewery founded in 1688 in Miyagi Prefecture, this sake showcases a balanced, award-winning composition that preserves the clarity and finesse of premium Junmai Ginjo. Meticulous blending amplifies the positive notes of each component sake into a harmonious creation designed to appeal even to red wine and dry white wine drinkers.
On the nose, Label Azur opens with delicate aromas of brioche, plum, and kiwi, hinting at its elegant depth. The palate is smooth and inviting, revealing luscious peach and pastry flavors that glide into a soft, mineral finish. Its clean profile and gentle umami make it wonderfully versatile at the table. Serve well-chilled in a wine glass to fully appreciate its layered character. This Junmai Ginjo pairs beautifully with vegetable tempura, grilled prawns, and seafood risotto, and is equally at home alongside tarte Tatin or simple crackers for an elevated aperitif experience.
