The Sake Chartier Blend 001 2018 50 cl by Tanaka represents a refined example of Japanese excellence in sake production. Made with a meticulous selection of high-quality sake rice, cultivated in regions with a millennial tradition, this blend stands out for its balance between freshness, softness, and aromatic complexity.

In the glass, it appears with a clear and bright color, while on the nose, delicate floral notes and a slight hint of white fruit are offered, accompanied by a pleasant minerality reflecting the territory of origin. The sip is elegant, characterized by a balanced structure where the natural sweetness of the rice merges with a fresh acidity, giving a clean and harmonious sensation.

The aging method, overseen by Tanaka with traditional techniques and strict controls, enhances the purity of the final product, making it perfect to accompany light dishes such as sushi, sashimi, or delicate fish-based dishes. A sake with a distinctive character, capable of transporting those who taste it directly into the heart of Japanese culture.
