Bottle 1 - Dassai 23

To craft the ultimate Junmai Daiginjo sake Dassai 23, Yamada-Nishiki rice is first polished down to 23%. It's polished 24 hours a day for 7 days straight—that's 168 hours spent on polishing!

This is said to be the highest degree of polish in Japan, but they don't rest their laurels on this number alone; instead, they've taken their seat on the throne of all Junmai Daiginjos with Dassai 23's exquisite flavor. This sake, along with Dassai Beyond, was the sake Prime Minister Abe chose to present to President Obama during his trip to Japan in 2014.

Bottle 2 - Shichida Junmai Daignjo

The most luxurious of the Shichida series, a junmai daiginjo packed with Shichida’s classic umami flavor. Initially fruity and complex, but turns dryer and straight forward as you taste—it's like two sakes in one! Go ahead, here's your chance to have and eat your cake. Gold Award in the 2018 Kura Master Competition in the Junmai Daiginjo and Junmai Ginjo Division.
