Dassai Junmai Daiginjo 23

Rice

Tasting Note

Rice milling of 23%, highest of all commercial sake. Gorgeous aroma of melons and peaches, and elegant, long dry finish. A variety show once featured Dassai 23, in an easy-going way, where the participants had to guess from tasting three different sake which one was the real Dassai – something that is often done with wine in this kind of comedy shows. One of the participant soon guessed it right, saying: “This one is different from all of the sake I’ve ever tried. It tastes good, not like the bad experiences I had until now, so this must be the real Dassai”. These words greatly demonstrated what we have always been saying, that anyone could know what a good sake is just by drinking it. There are no such things as sake that only connoisseurs understand. Please drink it slowly, enjoy it slowly, so that Dassai 23 could show you all of its charms.
