Dassai 23 is one of the most finely made sakes in the world — the rice used to make it has been polished down to just 23%, which means it’s super clean and smooth.
It smells sweet and fruity, like grapes, strawberries, flowers, and honey. And it tastes just as rich and full, with layers of flavor that include hints of brown sugar, plum, and even a touch of minerally freshness. It’s soft, elegant, and finishes smooth.
