TATENOKAWA FOO FIGHTERS – HANSHO GIN
Midnight Silver is said to be inspired by the “Rock” side of the band – firm and well-structured, it expresses lofty flavor and classic Omachi characteristics of lemongrass, pineapple, marjoram & dried black cherry, with a sharp and clean aftertaste.

TANAKA 1789 X CHARTIER BLEND 001
Inaugural blend created with the joint skills of François Chartier, the world’s best sommelier, and Tanaka Sake Brewery. This award winning sake is uniquely “crafted for food” blending multiple rice and yeast types and using Kimoto or Yamahai shubo methods. A sake for food pairing. Anise, fresh basil, and a caramel-like aroma is accented by tropical fruit. On the palate, it has a light sweetness and smoothness, but the multi-layered acidity of the blend makes the aftertaste even lighter. A sake for wine lovers!
