This Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki rice polished to 23%, retaining only the heart of the grain, the part richest in starch. This exceptional polishing ratio is achieved after seven days and seven nights of continuous polishing, with the aim of creating a sake of unparalleled purity. Its refined aromatic profile reveals fruity notes of apple and pear, while honeyed nuances develop on the palate, leading to a long, clean finish. Thanks to its silky texture and complexity, it is served at room temperature (between 1à and 12 degrees). It pairs perfectly with hard cheeses, fish, and fruit- or chocolate-based desserts. Profile:  Nose: superbly delicate. Like a great white Sancerre from the finest terroirs of Chavignol, it displays phenomenal minerality (limestone, slate). It develops notes of ripe grapes, exotic fruits (pineapple, banana), and fine herbal notes (grape blossom, hay). Crystalline, it embodies youth. Palate: delicate and complex. Its attack is full of liveliness (freshly squeezed lemon, William pear). Rich and expressive, it is particularly fruity (melon, Golden Delicious apple) and spicy (nutmeg, coriander). It gradually becomes floral (iris, lily). Finish: long and fresh. Slightly medicinal (balsam), it is also balsamic (pine, cedar) and earthy (moss, mushrooms). It shows great maturity. The retronasal aromas are marked by notes of apricot and nectarine. The empty glass once again evokes the Monts Damnés (a Sancerre terroir), perceptible on the nose.  Pairing: Individual dorayaki with anko and chestnut
