“There is no reason for us to craft sake unless it’s super delicious.”, this is the Dassai way. Using Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to 45%, we deliver fruit aromatics and delicate sweetness.
Made from Yamadanishiki rice (the highest quality rice for sake) polished to 45% of its original volume, Dassai 45 presents a fresh and fruity palette with aromas of pear, grape, pineapple, apricot and watermelon but also notes of chestnut and puffed rice.
This rich, structured and powerful sake can be enjoyed chilled as an aperitif but is also the ideal companion for all types of dishes such as white meats and poultry as well as cheese.
Sake or nihonshu is a Japanese alcoholic beverage with a volume of 14 to 17%. It is made from a mixture of water, yeast and steamed rice, a small part of which has been inoculated with a microscopic fungus, the koji, in order to improve fermentation.

About brand
Here at Asahi Shuzo, we craft sake to brighten your life.
We strive to create the highest quality sake for our customers to enjoy its taste and flavors. Dassai is meant to be a way to a pleasant lifestyle.
In the brewing of Dassai, after the rice has been milled and brought into the brewery, it has lost a great deal of moisture due to the frictional heat of the polishing process over a long period of time, up to 144 hours. The rice is washed in the brewery and stored for over a month to allow the moisture to naturally return to its original moisture content. All efforts are made to ensure that the customers who drink this sake will be happy with the perfect rice polishing method.
It is because we craft a high-quality sake that we want to share it with everyone around the world.
