ASAHI SHUZO DASSAI 39 JUNMAI DAIGINJO SAKE

It can truly be said that DASSAI Beyond was more than a decade-in-the-making. The origins of this rare and extraordinary sake began with a simple, yet most challenging ambition: to handcraft a sake that would surpass the excellence of DASSAI 23, widely praised by critics as a “perfect” sake. And so, driven by the passion of DASSAI’s founder, Hiroshi Sakurai, he and his small group of the finest sake artisans began their quest to improve upon perfection at DASSAI’s tiny, countryside brewery in Yamaguchi prefecture. With its rice milling of 39%, it is a second best quality defined by its rice milling after 23%. It has smooth and mellow taste with refreshing finish.
