Dassai "BEYOND" Junmai Daiginjo Sake 720ml Nv Asahi Shuzo Dassai Migaki Sonosakie Junmai Daiginjo
| Description: | Wine Advocate - 99 Points This medium-dry Nv Dassai Migaki Sonosakie Junmai Daiginjo should be the iconic sake not only of the Asahi Shuzo but also the whole export market. The literal meaning of the label is âpioneer,â or more accurately, âbeyond.â It is a masterpiece, with every aspect showing excellence. The elegant and complex floral and fruity notes, with a hint of hot steamed rice, establish a pure and beautiful sensation. Perfectly balanced, it has a delicate and marvelous touch on the palate. The light but lingering finish brings out a super clean aftertaste. This is a real sample of a master craftsman! Rice: Yamada Nishiki. Alcohol: 16%. ***. The theme underlying Dassai sake-- "Making sake is making dreams: opening a new era of sake." This means that they never become complacent with existing tradition and handcrafted techniques, but rather want to reform and revolutionize how some things are done, and in so doing make superior sake. "Beyond" sake reflects this philosophy-- it is the ultimate expression of their 'pushing the boundaries', as it were, to create the best sake possible. The milling rate and brewing process are secret-- but suffice it to say, Dassai has gone beyond conventional methods to create Beyond. |
