Asahi Shuzo (Yamaguchi) Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo | 720ML

Detailed Description

There is no point to sake unless it’s delicious—this is Dassai’s philosophy. Using Yamada-Nishiki rice that’s been polished down to 45%, Dassai 45 brings out the delicate sweetness of rice with fruity aromatics.

Distillery Information

Through crises and difficulties, Asahi Shuzo has carefully innovated their own unique way to brew sake. Over the past few years they adapted their work to produce sake year-round (instead of just during sake season), something all but unheard-of in the industry. By producing sake steadily, they have succeeded in minimizing variables, allowing them to focus on the minutiae of the craft. These details include labor-intensive hand-craft methods that have been proven over centuries to yield better sake, but also the most modern technology applied in the right measure, in the right places.
