Dassai Beyond Junmai Daiginjo is a premium Japanese sake produced by the Asahi Shuzo Brewery, located in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan. It is one of the most exclusive sakes in the world, and is made using a special, limited edition rice variety. Junmai refers to sake that is made purely from rice, water, yeast, and koji. Daiginjo is a classification of sake that indicates it is made from highly polished rice (at least 50% of the outer layer of the rice grain is removed) and fermented at low temperatures for an extended period of time. Dassai Beyond Junmai Daiginjo is made using the best of  Yamada Nishiki ricea. This rice is specially grown by selected farmers allowing it to be one of the most highly-polished rice varieties used in sake production. The sake is characterized by a complex and refined flavor profile, with a delicate sweetness and a smooth, creamy texture. It has notes of pear, melon, and other fruits, with a hint of umami and a clean, refreshing finish. Due to its limited production and high quality, Dassai Beyond Junmai Daiginjo is considered one of the most exclusive sakes in the world. It is often served on special occasions or as a gift to those who appreciate fine sake, and pairs well with a variety of Japanese cuisine, particularly rich, flavorful dishes.
