Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo (72cl)

Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo from Yamaguchi, in a 72cl bottle. The rice was polished down to 39% of its original size before brewing, which places it in the daiginjo grade. It is usually served chilled rather than warmed, poured in small measures so it stays cold across a long meal. A wine glass shows the aromatics better than a small cup, and it sits well with sashimi, steamed fish and lighter dishes.
