High-end junmai daiginjo nigori

This is a nigori that reflects Dassai’s ever-present elegance. Being a junmai daiginjo, this one is slightly less saturated with sake lees (the rice solids in the bottle) compared to other nigori. On the nose you’ll find the faintest hint of muscat, but where this sake shines is its texture and flavor. Its light, fine grain texture accompanies bright and juicy balanced flavors, resulting in a slight sweetness.
