Pavillon Blend 001

Sake by Tanaka François Chartier

PAVILLON OF BLEND 001 – 2019 is the second label of flagship artisanal sake BLEND 001. Inspired by the pavillon (guest house) located adjacent to the 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 BLEND 001. PAVILLON is wild, full-bodied, with a mouth-filling texture and made to be enjoyed while young. It is Tanaka’s “homage” to the second wines of Bordeaux’s top grands crus.

The wilder younger brother to Blend 001. Moderately aged, this sake has a pale golden color with cool undertones. On the nose, it has a beautiful pear-like fragrance with citrus notes. Its mild, long-lasting sweetness is accentuated by a slight bitterness that lingers on the palate. Exquisite notes of dried pineapple, apple and mango are also present. Pairs perfectly with a variety of savory dishes, particularly those that are herbaceous. It also complements and balances dishes with lightly fatty or rich ingredients.
