François Chartier, the Canadian-born aroma specialist and “créateur d’harmonies” is shaking up the art of making sake in Japan. Until now, the idea of blending has never been part of Japan’s sake culture. But François Chartier is changing that, by introducing high-end quality and luxury sake blends.

Chartier has crafted a unique 2018 vintage by finding the best harmony between Tanaka’s new Chartier-style sakes. The resulting aromatic sake explodes into a symphony of flavours upon the first sip. 

A first in the world of sake, the unique natural fresh acidity of this new blend awakens the tastebuds, reminiscent of the elegance and verticality of the best white wines of the world.
