Tanaka 1789 x Chartier Pavillon of 001 2019

PAVILLON OF BLEND 001 – 2019 is the second label of our flagship artisanal sake BLEND 001. Inspired by the pavillon (guest house) located adjacent to our kura (sake brewery), it is a “blend” created again for wine and food lovers using Tanaka’s handcrafted sakes and blended using the same philosophy as our BLEND 001. PAVILLON is wild, full-bodied, with a mouth-filling texture and made to be enjoyed while young. It is our “homage” to the second wines of Bordeaux’s top grands crus.

PAVILLON, is a fruitier sake on the nose, with notes of stone fruits as well as mango, on an anise seed background, the signature of BLEND 001 that inspired this second label. On the palate, it is sexier, rounder, softer and more enveloping then BLEND 001, resulting in a slightly less dominant acidity. With charm to spare and coupled with a quite long finish, it reminds drinkers of new world chardonnay wines.

DOMINANT AROMA Mango, Almond, Milk, Butter.
MOUTHFEEL Full-bodied, but rounder, softer and more enveloping than BLEND 001.
LINGERING FLAVOURS Peach, Coconut Milk, Anise notes.
