Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo Sake 300ml

Dassai 23 is an exceptional Junmai Daiginjo from Asahi Shuzo, crafted from Yamada Nishiki rice polished down to just 23% of its original grain size. This ultra-refined sake offers a beautifully elegant aroma. An outstanding taste many people have never tried before.

The nose displays great finesse and is defined by pronounced minerality. Aromas of ripe grapes blend with exotic fruits such as pineapple and banana. Herbal notes of vine blossom and hay complete this crystalline, youthful profile. Fine and complex, the palate reveals a lively opening reminiscent of freshly squeezed lemon and Williams pear. The fruitiness then unfolds with notes of melon and Golden Delicious apple, accompanied by spices such as nutmeg and coriander.

The overall impression evolves into floral nuances of iris and lily. The finish is long and fresh, slightly medicinal with balsamic accents. Resinous notes of pine and cedar combine with earthy nuances of moss and mushrooms. Apricot and nectarine emerge on the aftertaste.
