Dassai Future with Farmers Junmai Daiginjo 720ml
Yamada-Nishiki is a sake rice that, even when grown with the utmost care by the best farmers, inevitably produces 5~10% of Togai (out-of-grade) rice. With tears, farmers have been selling Yamada-Nishiki Togai rice at low prices. Thus, the existence of Togai rice is a burden which bores down heavily upon farmers. We, DASSAI, are a sake brewery that strives in symbiotic relation with farmers. Therefore, dealing with Togai rice, is a challenge which we cannot abandon. We have searched endlessly for a way to utilize Togai rice. Finally, we have come to a decision. It takes tremendous effort, But the result is a luscious sake that can only be accomplished with Togai rice.
This sake has been milled to 23% and is one of the most polished sakes in the world. With a nose of grapes, flowers, strawberries, and honey, the flavor is as luscious as the aroma. Dassai 23 is a clean and plump Daiginjo with chapters of flavors wrapped in a deep and layered structure. Look for hints of brown sugar, fleshy plums and minerals with an elegant lasting finish.
