Product details
Dassai Blue Essential Trio Junmai Daiginjo Red Gift Box brings together three distinctive expressions—Type 23, Type 35, and Type 50—in an elegant presentation that showcases the craftsmanship and philosophy of Dassai Blue. Established in Hyde Park, New York, Dassai Blue represents the brand's commitment to creating exceptional Japanese-inspired expressions using local American ingredients and craftsmanship. Each selection is made with Yamada Nishiki, widely regarded as the finest rice variety for this category, while Hudson Valley water contributes to the collection's distinctive regional identity. Type 23, the flagship expression, features rice polished to an exceptional 23%, highlighting the natural character of the ingredients. Type 35 reflects four years of dedicated rice cultivation in partnership with Isbell Farms in Arkansas, while Type 50 demonstrates the versatility of Yamada Nishiki through a different balance of aromatic and flavor characteristics. Together, these three selections offer an introduction to the precision, innovation, and distinctive identity behind Dassai Blue.
Each expression offers its own aromatic and tasting profile. Type 23 reveals complex aromas of anise, pear, and marshmallow, developing into bright lemon chiffon, honeysuckle, and stone fruit with a subtle mineral touch. Type 35 presents delicate white peach and ripe papaya aromas, complemented by gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity. Type 50 opens with licorice and cantaloupe notes, followed by pineapple candy, lemon curd, and vanilla, finishing with a subtle briny nuance.
