Rihaku Tobingakoi and Dassai 23
Dinner at Sushi Sase in Hong Kong.
Dassai Junmai Daiginjo 23% (獺祭「純米大吟醸」磨き二割三分) - this big boy was brought by the regular. I've always liked Dassai, but tonight the flavors seemed a little simple beyond the sweetness on the palate. Fruity and easy-drinking it was...
Rihaku Daijinjo Tobingakoi (李白大吟釀斗瓶囲い) - this is a limit-production sake, and they only make 300 issho-bins a year. I carried this baby back from Tokyo last year. Definitely drier and spicier on the finish in addition to being sweet mid-palate. Smooth but more complex than the Dassai.
