The popular Dassai “50” was replaced by Dassai “45” in 2019 by polishing the rice a bit more. And even though it is the most affordable of their lineup, it belongs to the highest premium sake category with no brewer's alcohol added.
Delicate, fruity & aromatic. This premium saké is semi-dry with a suble sweetness and creamy mouthfeel. It is easy to drink and extremely popular among both aficionados and those new to saké.
The "45" in its name refers to the rice polishing ratio, which means that the rice used in making this sake has been polished down to 45% of its original size. Clean and Crisp, Smooth and Well-Balanced: One of the hallmarks of Dassai 45 is its smooth and well-balanced taste. Love its harmony between sweetness, acidity, and umami, which makes it enjoyable on its own or as a complement to various dishes.
Pair With: Fatty Tuna Sashimi, Prosciutto Ham, Mushroom Risotto
