DASSAI BEYOND JUNMAI DAIGINJO

More than a decade in the making, the origins of this rare and extraordinary sake began with the simple, yet most challenging ambition to handcraft a sake that would surpass the excellence of Dassai 23 and could be praised by critics as a “perfect” sake.

Crafting a sake of such transcendent excellence meant going beyond polishing numbers and the provenance of rice and water. It meant going beyond normal flavor profiles to coax levels of depth, complexity and smoothness from rice that had never been tasted before.

After years of dedicated work and painstaking craftsmanship that failed to yield a sake that could sufficiently transcend the excellence of Dassai 23, the artisans finally succeeded in creating a sake worthy of the name, Dassai Beyond.

Unparalleled smoothness and clean, complex flavors engulf the entire palate, followed by a stunning length of finish. The superlative standards of Dassai Beyond keep
production extremely limited and each bottle is a rarity. In April 2014, Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe gave President Obama a bottle of Dassai Beyond to commemorate his visit to Japan.
