Dassai 50 Blue Junmai Daiginjo (72cl)

Dassai 50 Blue is a dry Junmai Daiginjo sake in a 720ml bottle, the highest grade of sake. It is brewed only with Yamada Nishiki, a rice often called the king of sake rice, and the Type 50 is one of three bottlings that show what this rice can do. The nose opens with pineapple and honeydew melon. On the palate pineapple returns alongside lemon and sweet almond, leading to a subtle caramel finish. It is best served chilled, at 5°C or below.
