Port wine master collab

François Chartier collaborated with master blender of port wines Dirk Niepoort to create this sake. It’s a blend of seven junmai sake with varying yeast starter methods. The resulting sake has a complex richness of junmai on the palate that emphasizes Niepoort’s signature minerality along with Chartier’s pursuit of fruitiness in sake. Only 1,789 bottles were produced to commemorate the founding year of Tanaka Brewing Company.

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.
