Tanaka 1789 x Chartier Niepoort
Tasting Notes
François Chartier, who has created his blended sake line TANAKA 1789 at Tanaka Shuzo, collaborated with winemaker and master blender of port wines Dirk Niepoort to create this new sake. It is a masterpiece blend of seven Junmai sake (Kimoto, yamahai, sokujo), characterized by Niepoort's signature minerality and Chartier’s “wine-like" fruitiness. Simultaneously rich, refreshing, complex and sprightly. A sake with umami, green tea expressions, some reduction and some saltiness. Capturing the best of both worlds of Japanese sake and European white wine. Continuing in the art of blending to handcraft Junmai sake with more natural acidity and umami appealing to wine lovers around the globe, this very limited blend of 1,789 bottles commemorates the founding of Tanaka Shuzoten in 1789.
