After a line-up featuring the likes of Aramasa, Yamamoto, Tatenokawa, and Ohmine, the Dassai 23 Centrifuge came off a little boring. As JT puts it, “It’s what I’d expect saké to taste like.” Then chef Alex added the darnest comment, “Doesn’t it remind you of soju.” Hahahaha.
Rich, round and heavy, with an almost sterile quality to the finish, it definitely wasn’t up my alley but I got to commend how lovely the silky textures were. Solid though - Dassai is Dassai, like how Dom is Dom. Reliability at scale. — a month ago

If you’ve ever wanted to try Johnnie Walker Blue Label, but refuse to pay the ridiculous price, GET THIS! I’m telling you, it tastes exactly the same. It’s still a blend, which limits its possibilities for me, but this is as good as blends get. — 2 months ago

Loved this. It paired well with sushi and Asian rice dishes, and was great just by itself. Slightly thick with a subtle sweetness. — a day ago
