HEAVENSAKE “Dassai” Junmai Daiginjo
Yamaguchi prefecture
A floral-scented fantasy
This unique sake is a blend of different sake with a range of polishing ratios. Expertly balanced by HEAVENSAKE’s master blender, Régis Camus, this sake presents a wonderful bouquet of aroma, as if you are strolling through a grove of blossoming apple trees. One sip delivers a swirl of flavor, from muscat grape to red apple, with a wonderfully floral aroma. It’s definitely a brew worth a taste.
