Mr Sakurai envisioned creating the world's finest sake, not just to survive but to redefine the industry's standards. He turned Dassai into a single varietal of sake rice: the Yamada Nishiki rice. This rice, known for its exceptional starch content and its ability to absorb water, became the heart of Dassai's sake. Mr Sakurai took it a step further by milling down the rice to only 23% of its original size, an unprecedented move that showcased the brand's dedication to purity and excellence. Here came their flagship product, Dassai 23.
300ml mlProducer Tasting Note
