Deep brown color. Light on the nose but serious brown sugar on the palate. Hot? No but it fills every corner of your mouth and lips. It’s sweet, rich and full body. Finish goes on… yeah I’d look for this one. — 2 days ago

Restrained nose on opening. Started to open up with air as it wasn’t overly chilled to start. Much more restrained than the Dassai DEX and I’d say a better match with the food throughout the night. Liked the viscocity and weight. Solid although would have liked a bit more aromatics — 6 days ago

Glen Mhor 38yr 1965 - the color on this was deep and I so wanted to love it but it was missing something. Just a bit hollow. Might be a function of old bottle, plus a sample, plus holding the sample too long. — 2 days ago

Asahi-Shuzo Sake Brewing Co.

Dassai Dex Shinsei Junmai Daiginjo Sake

9.6

The DEX is an experimental version to my understanding. Different every time which is why they don’t clearly state polish although I think this was 23%. Need to confirm. This is an over the top expression even chilled. Aromatics were strong but the flavors were intense and full. Probably the “biggest” Dassai I’ve had.
• Product: Dassai “Shinsei” Junmai Daiginjo 23%
• Brewery: Asahi Shuzo (Yamaguchi, Japan)
• Polishing Ratio: 23%
• Alcohol: 14%
• Volume: 720ml
• Bottled: December 2022

⸻

“The “Shinsei” (新生, meaning “newborn” or “rebirth”) branding suggests this may be a limited or experimental series within the Dassai lineup, distinct from the standard Dassai 23.”
