*Production date: Aug 2025
These sake have been naturally matured for approximately one year since production. While they are no longer at their freshest, time has allowed their flavours to harmonise, revealing softer, more rounded characters with greater depth and balance.
Rather than the bright, youthful vibrancy found in newly released sake, these bottles offer gentle, mellow profiles with smooth finishes and well-integrated umami. Carefully stored under appropriate conditions, they remain in excellent drinking condition and are ready to be enjoyed today.
For those who appreciate a more refined and mature expression of sake, this curated selection offers a unique opportunity to experience how time can subtly shape and evolve each sake's character. While freshness gives way to maturity, the result is a distinctive drinking experience that showcases elegance, balance, and complexity.
Dassai 39 sake is named by the polishing ratio number – in this case, 39%. Very smooth, clear and refined, the Dassai 39 is a skillfully balanced sake that combines the best qualities of both Dassai 23 and 45 into a sake with a more subtle aroma, higher acidity, and a creamy texture. The mid palate gives a crisp, clean, dry taste. Excellent harmony of flavour and scent. Short, clean finish. Excellent overall well balance.
An attractive and lavish nose reveals vivid notes of tropical, white blossom fruit and fresh apple, whilst the palate is delicate and textural, with a delicious umami depth and a fine dry finish. Elegant and poised, this is best served slightly chilled and enjoyed with seafood.
