« Essence 5 Sake by Chartier » will be launching their brand new blended sake “ZASSHU 雑種”, at the Grand Tasting. François Chartier has crafted this sake in collaboration with his friend Michael League, leader of the Grammy Award–winning NYC jazz collective Snarky Puppy.
Hosted live on stage by François and Michael, this unprecedented masterclass will feature the entire new Essence 5 Sake range from Yamaguchi, along with the new Nihonmatsu–Nakadori Zasshu sake, paired with Chartier’s breathtaking science of molecular harmonies.
Born at NINKI ICHI SHUZO, in the Nihonmatsu–Nakadori region of Fukushima, ZASSHU 雑種 unites music, innovation, and friendship.
Our last Chartier Masterclass in March was a sell out success and received high praise from those in attendance.
And as a special celebration, this world premiere also coincides with the release of the new Snarky Puppy album, Somni, out November 21st!
ZASSHU 雑種 Sake: born in Japan, unveiled in the UK.
There will be 2 sessions of this Masterclass to accommodate our guests’ different diaries:
First session: 6:00-7:00pm
Second session: 8:30-9:30pm
