Product details
Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo Nigori Sake is a testament to Asahi Shuzo's dedication to crafting exceptional sake. The brewery, established in 1948 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, embraces a philosophy that prioritizes quality over tradition, aiming to produce sake that is "super delicious." The name "Dassai," meaning "otter festival," reflects the brewery's commitment to innovation and excellence. Using premium Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to 45%, this nigori sake offers a refined experience that balances tradition with modern brewing techniques.
In the glass, Dassai 45 Nigori presents a gentle cloudiness characteristic of nigori sake, accompanied by a delicate aroma featuring notes of muscat and a subtle sweetness. On the palate, it delivers a light and refreshing flavor profile with a harmonious balance between sweetness and dryness. This sake pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including cheese-flavored snacks, grilled white fish, and even desserts like fruit tarts. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled to highlight its nuanced flavors and smooth texture.
