To craft the ultimate Junmai-Daiginjo sake, we polished down Yamada-Nishiki rice to 23%. Delivering delicate floral aromas with a palate reminiscent of honey and an elegant lasting finish. Dassai 23, because of its rice polishing ratio of 23% is probably the most polished rice in Japan. But we do not think this sake is great because it has the best polishing ratio. We are not to be satisfied with this figure, but are striving for Japan’s best, most delicious sake. The only words we fear to hear are: "Dassai isn’t as great as I thought it to be". We always strive to craft a well-balanced sake, that has a gorgeous and dense aroma, a mellow taste with just the right amount of acidity to tie it all together with a long, lingering finish.
