The nose on this unpasteurized Junmai Daiginjo is a cool collection of strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, chive, pear, mango, and powdered sugar aromas. Is this the most refined, luxurious craft nama sake made outside of Japan? In a word, yes. In another word, it’s Dassai. Fresh, juicy, elegant, spritzy, bright, zippy, tingly, mid-body, and smooth, this premium brew glides through the palate on a luxurious and silky flow, with a little liveliness and dryness. Look for strawberry, apple, kiwi, sugar cookie dough, papaya, grape, raspberry, sautéed bell pepper, and sugar cane water flavors that play with a little acidity and a quick clean finish. This is nama history in a bottle! Serve chilled in a white wine glass. WORD: Refined WINE: Elegant Reds/Clean Whites BEER: Clean Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, grilled fish and chicken, caviar, Champagne fare, hot pots, and light international spice.
