Asahi Shuzo Dassai ’39’ Junmai Daiginjo Sake – 720 ml

Introduction

From the world famous Asahi Shuzo brewery in Japan’s Yamaguchi Prefecture comes Dassai ’39’ Junmai Daiginjo, the perfect sweet spot between Dassai’s ’45’ and ’23’. With rice polished to 39%, this luscious sake is a velvety plush basket of soft tree fruits balanced with smooth acidity.

The ’39’ reveals an aromatic profile of green apple, magnolia blossom, and Meyer lemon integrating beautifully with the nectar-like sweetness of mango, ripe apricot, and honeydew melon. Perfect accompaniments to ’39’ include Ikura (Salmon Roe), Soft French Cheese, and Chicken Parmesan.
