Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo "Otter Festival"

Say hello to one of the most polished sakes in Japan. This sake has been milled to 23% and it is in a class by itself. With a nose of grapes, flowers, strawberries, and mineral water, 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. As the sake gets closer to room temp, it starts to taste more like water. Also, the 720ml version is of the few certified vegan sakes in the world. WORD: 23% WINE: Merlot/Soft Chardonnay BEER: Soft Ales FOODS: Best to drink as is!
