François Chartier

x Tanaka 1789

!! A world premiere at the Belgium Sake Festival !!

Internationally acclaimed François Chartier – Sake Master Blender, bestselling author of Taste Buds and Molecules, and winner of Best Sommelier in the World ('94, Paris) – is coming to Belgium for an exclusive masterclass.

In collaboration with Tanaka Brewery (Miyagi, Japan), Chartier co-founded the revolutionary label Tanaka 1789 X Chartier: a sake collection based on his pioneering aromatic science and decades of wine expertise.

During this time, Chartier collaborated with renowned Bordeaux oenologist Dr. Pascal Chatonnet, master blender for top wineries like Vega Sicilia, Château de Beaucastel, and Château Cos d’Estournel.

Inspired by the freshness and elegance of great white wines from Burgundy and the Loire, Chartier crafted sakes that echo these qualities — while staying true to sake’s essence.
