[Bundle of 2] DASSAI JUNMAI DAIGINJO 39 720ML
The top notes are much similar to Dassai Junmai Ginjou 45 but as it strikes the tongue and the palate, layered of fragrances open up. Soft, sweet scents of Cotton Candy, hints of Banana, Japanese pears. The mid palate gives a crisp, clean, dry taste. Very smooth, clear and refined sake. Excellent harmony of flavor and scent. Short, clean finish. Excellent overall well balance.

Expert review:
True Sake
This Daiginjo fits in between Dassai “49” and “23” in terms of milling rates and is both similar and different to its sister brews. The nose is fruity with koji rice, apple, honeydew, and strawberry aromas. A very plush sake that is loaded with fruit basket flavors and has a very wine-like acidity presence with a long finish. Chewy, round, and soft, but bright – go figure! Hints of pear, apple, blueberry and honeydew on a fleshy fluid that is lively and velvety. “39” drinks almost nama-like and beware of fruit flies who will surely find your glass within minutes.
Background:
To craft the ultimate Junmai-Daiginjo sake, Asahi Shuzo (Yamaguchi) polished down Yamada-Nishiki rice to <br>23%. Delivering delicate floral aromas with a palate reminiscent of honey and an elegant lasting finish.
