Product details
Dassai 23 Umeshu is a refined Japanese plum expression created using carefully selected, fully ripened Nanko ume, a highly regarded Japanese plum variety, and Dassai’s flagship Junmai Daiginjo polished to 23%. Rather than relying solely on the fruit, this expression uses Dassai’s own refined rice-based beverage as the foundation, allowing the character of the Nanko ume to develop alongside its delicate sweetness. The careful selection of fully ripened plums and the use of Dassai 23 create a distinctive expression centered on the natural character of the fruit, with a polished and elegant presentation that reflects the craftsmanship associated with the Dassai name.
The palate combines a clean, honey-like sweetness with the refreshing acidity of Nanko ume. Its smooth texture allows the fruit character to unfold gently, while the interplay between sweetness and acidity brings balance and definition. The profile highlights the rich natural character of ripe Japanese plum without losing its refreshing quality, leading to a smooth and composed finish. It can also be enjoyed over ice, which emphasizes its cool, refreshing character.
