Product details
HEAVENSAKE Niizawa Label Noir Junmai Daiginjo is the embodiment of cross-cultural brilliance, where Japanese craftsmanship meets French blending artistry. Born at the esteemed Niizawa Brewery in Miyagi—renowned for achieving one of the highest polishing ratios in the world at just 7%—this Junmai Daiginjo represents the pinnacle of precision and elegance. The final creation is the work of assemblage master Régis Camus, who artfully blends multiple base sakes to amplify their finest notes, resulting in a new expression that is balanced to perfection. Winner of the Best Sake title at the San Francisco International Wine Challenge in both 2019 and 2020, it is globally recognized as one of the finest sakes in the world.
Delicately floral on the nose, the Label Noir reveals vibrant early summer fruit flavors—think ripe apple, lychee, cantaloupe, and tangerine—with a clean, structured palate that delivers both richness and crystalline purity. The natural acidity and fine minerality give the sake a refreshing edge, making it light yet compelling at 15% ABV. Serve it chilled in a wine glass to fully appreciate its aromatic depth and silky texture. This sake pairs beautifully with luxurious bites such as caviar, uni, asparagus, and aged cheeses, but is equally delightful alongside joyful dishes like tomato bruschetta, creamy pastas, or fresh Mediterranean fare. This gem from Niizawa Brewery isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience that invites you to embrace everything that screams joie de vivre.
