To craft the ultimate junmai daiginjo, Dassai 23 is made with Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to just 23% of its original grain weight — one of the highest polishing ratios used for any flagship sake. Produced by Asahi Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture, it is best enjoyed chilled, on its own or alongside a meal.
