TANAKA 1789 × CHARTIER “PAVILLON of Blend 001”
Miyagi prefecture
In pursuit of aroma and balance
This sake was made in pursuit of the ultimate balance of aroma and acidity. It’s a blend of four different sake using three different rice grown in Miyagi prefecture, and two different prefectural yeasts made in the orthodox yamahai method. A lower temperature, gentle pasteurization is used just once to preserve the aroma. It’s great to pair with dishes that incorporate a variety of herbs and gentle fats.

Tanaka Brewing Company
Founded in 1789, Tanaka Brewing Company in Miyagi prefecture has continued to create sake in the orthodox kimoto and yamahai methods for over 200 years. All of the koji they create uses the most meticulous small batch called “futa koji.” They also use cedar barrel tools called “dakidaru” to control the temperature for their yeast starter. Their traditional brand is called Manatsuru, but their collaboration with Canadian aroma specialist François Chartier, established in 2018, is worthy of note. Even though blending sake has been done previously, this collaboration has brought forth new discoveries in regards to their flavor, outreach and audience.
