François Chartier, the creator of the blended sake line TANAKA 1789 at Tanaka Shuzo, teamed up with port wine expert Dirk Niepoort to craft this unique sake. It's a blend that's rich yet refreshing, complex with a lively character. Expect flavors of umami, green tea, hints of reduction, and a touch of saltiness. This sake beautifully combines the best of Japanese sake and European white wine. It pairs well with both Japanese and Western dishes, including herb-infused and richly flavored dishes. It has a long, satisfying finish that complements French cuisine, citrus-based dishes, and game or smoked meats. Serve it in a wine glass between 10-16°C (50-60°F) for the best experience.

Tanaka Shuzoten Company (Manatsuru)
Miyagi
In January 2010, Tanaka Sake Brewery in Miyagi Prefecture revived the traditional method of "kimoto" brewing, a technique not used for 67 years. This method involves crushing rice and koji with a unique-shaped wooden mallet called a "motosuri," which is labor-intensive and unique to kimoto brewing. Kimoto sake is known for its acidity, robust body, and richness, with its flavors opening up when gently warmed to around 40-43°C. Tanaka Sake Brewery also maintains a traditional approach by using wooden tools, a practice rarely seen today. Their earnest commitment to traditional sake brewing has garnered them a strong following of fans.
