Tasting Notes

Crafted to surpass what was once thought to be the absolute limit of sake brewing, Dassai Beyond offers an experience of unprecedented depth and elegance. It greets the senses with a remarkably delicate, complex bouquet of fresh pear, wild rose, and subtle citrus. On the palate, it delivers an unparalleled, velvety smoothness, slowly unveiling multi-layered flavors that perfectly and gently coat the mouth. The finish is stunningly long, clean, and profoundly satisfying. For the ultimate tasting experience, the brewery highly recommends enjoying a sip of Dassai 23 first, before transitioning to Dassai Beyond to truly appreciate its transcendent craftsmanship.

Overview

Brewed by Asahi Shuzo (Dassai Inc.) in Yamaguchi Prefecture, "Dassai Beyond" (Sono Saki e) represents the absolute pinnacle of their world-renowned brewing mastery. For years, the brewery's iconic Dassai 23 was widely praised globally as the "perfect" sake. However, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, the brewers embarked on a monumental challenge: to create a masterpiece that would surpass their own flagship. Crafting Dassai Beyond meant abandoning traditional metrics and polishing numbers to focus entirely on coaxing unimaginable levels of complexity, depth, and smoothness from the finest Yamada Nishiki rice. Highly exclusive and strictly limited in production, it stands as one of the most prestigious and coveted sakes in the world.
