Dassai is made at Asahi Shuzo located in Yamaguchi prefecture in the southwest of Japan. The name means ‘otter festival’ as apparently the local otters in the local river appeared to lay out the fish they had caught as if they were having a party. The brewery’s motto is every bit as endearing as their name: “there is no reason for us to craft sake unless it’s super delicious.” As a result they produce only super premium sake of Junmai Daiginjo level the most refined sake grade there is. Using only the best Yamada Nishiki (considered the king of sake rice) polished up to incredible levels Dassai’s beautifully crafted sakes regularly win prizes at international competitions. They are to sake what the First Growths are to the fine wine world.
Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo Sake could proudly sit as any brewery's flagship product due to its high polishing ratio. In this case, it’s 39% meaning 39% of the rice grain remains for fermentation. This complex sake has smooth texture with generous amounts of tropical fruits, orchards fruits, a little umami, roasted characteristics, white pepper and a pleasing long finish. Its refreshing acidity makes this a perfect sake for pairing with food; try it with sushi, fresh salads, green vegetables or even cheese plates.
