獺祭二割三分純米大吟釀 Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo (1x30cl)

Dassai 23 is a Junmai Daiginjo from Asahi Shuzo in Yamaguchi, made with rice polished down to 23 percent. The 30cl bottle is the practical size - enough for two people over dinner, and small enough to slip into a gift bag or bring to someone's place.

Serve it cold in a wine glass rather than a warm cup. It sits well with sashimi, steamed seafood or a quiet late supper, and it is an easy gift when you are not sure whether the person drinks wine.

Tasting notes

Highly polished Junmai Daiginjo usually shows delicate melon, pear and floral notes with a clean, light finish. Serve chilled, around 8-10°C, and keep the bottle in the fridge once opened.
